  1. By: Harin, Alexander
    Abstract: A theorem of existence of ruptures in the probability scale has been proven. The theorem can be used, e.g., in economics and forecasting. It can assist to solve paradoxes such as Allais paradox and the “four-fold-pattern” paradox and to create the correcting formula of forecasting.

  5. By: Di Bartolomeo Giovanni; Giuli Francesco
    Abstract: Despite the recent increasing number of studies on monetary policy uncertainty, its role on the strategic interactions between fiscal and monetary policies has not been fully explored. Our paper aims to fill this gap by tackling this issue by evaluating the consequences produced by multiplicative uncertainty in such a context.
    Keywords: Monetary-fiscal policy interactions, paramenter uncertainty, symbiosis, monetary policy attenuation
