TL;DR: This work reconsiders the analytic hierarchy process in the light of the modern theory of measurement based on the so-called separable representations recently axiomatized in mathematical psychology, and provides various theoretical and empirical results on the extent to which the AHP can be considered a reliable decision-making procedure in terms of themodern theory of subjective measurement.

TL;DR: A method to decompose in the AHP response matrix distortions due to random errors and perturbations caused by cognitive bias predicted by the mathematical psychology literature is proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the tax burden on tax evasion both theoretically and experimentally were studied, and the authors developed a theoretical framework of tax evasion decisions that is based on two behavioral assumptions: (1) taxpayers are endowed with reference dependent preferences that are subject to hedonic adaptation and (2) in making their choices, taxpayers are affected by ethical concerns.

TL;DR: In this article, the error of quadrature rules on a compact manifold was studied in the same spirit of the Koksma-Hlawka inequality and they depend on a sort of discrepancy of the sampling points and a generalized variation of the function.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new version of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem (BET) for random variables depending on a parameter (alias integrands) is presented, which involves variational convergences, namely epigraphical, hypographical and uniform convergence.
