      Barbosa, Fernando de Holanda

      2017-04-08
      We study the revenue maximization problem of a seller who is partially informed about the distribution of buyer's valuations, only knowing its first N moments. The seller chooses the mechanism generating the best revenue ...

    • Nonparametric assessment of hedge fund performance 

      Almeida, Caio Ibsen Rodrigues de; Ardison, Kym; Garcia, René
      2018-04-23
      We propose a new class of performance measures for Hedge Fund (HF) returns based on a family of empirically identifiable stochastic discount factors (SDFs). These SDF-based measures incorporate no-arbitrage pricing ...

    • Symbolic megaprojects: historical evidence of a forgotten dimension 

      Rego, Marcos Lopez; Irigaray, Hélio Arthur; Chaves, Renato Lago Pereira
      2018
      By combining an historical analysis of three megaprojects and an organizational theory approach based on the notion of symbolism-intensive organizations, this research attempts to shed light on how symbols are constructed, ...

    • Automatic indexing and ontologies: the consistency of the research chronology and authoring in the scope of Information Science 

      Simões, Maria da Graça de Melo; Machado, Luís Miguel Oliveira; Souza, Renato Rocha; Almeida, Maurício Barcellos; Lopes, António Tavares
      2018
      An alternative to minimize the semantic gap in automatic indexing systems is to make use of knowledge organization systems, like ontologies. Given that these two operational concepts are subjects of study in Information ...

      Costa, Carlos Eugênio da; Maestri, Lucas Jóver; Santos, Marcelo Rodrigues dos
      2017
      How does the presence of labor market frictions change optimal redistributive policies? Embedding an otherwise standard Mirrlees’ (1971) economy in a directed search environment we show that optimal Utilitarian (and Rawlsian) ...

    • Distributional counterfactual analysis with (common) deterministic trend units 

      Masini, Ricardo
      2018-01
      The goal of this paper is to extend the counterfactual methodologies in particular Carvalho et al. (2016), by considering the estimation of quantile counterfactuals in the presence of trend units. We derive an asymptotically ...

    • Smoothing quantile regressions 

      Fernandes, Marcelo; Emmanuel, Guerre
