  2. Utility maximization problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_maximization_problem

    Finding (,) is the utility maximization problem. If u is continuous and no commodities are free of charge, then x ( p , I ) {\displaystyle x(p,I)} exists, [ 4 ] but it is not necessarily unique. If the preferences of the consumer are complete, transitive and strictly convex then the demand of the consumer contains a unique maximiser for all ...

  3. Pascal's mugging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_mugging

    In philosophy, Pascal's mugging is a thought experiment demonstrating a problem in expected utility maximization. A rational agent should choose actions whose outcomes, when weighted by their probability, have higher utility. But some very unlikely outcomes may have very great utilities, and these utilities can grow faster than the probability ...

  4. Two-moment decision model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-moment_decision_model

    In decision theory, economics, and finance, a two-moment decision model is a model that describes or prescribes the process of making decisions in a context in which the decision-maker is faced with random variables whose realizations cannot be known in advance, and in which choices are made based on knowledge of two moments of those random variables.

  5. Economic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_efficiency

    There are two main standards of thought on economic efficiency, which respectively emphasize the distortions created by governments (and reduced by decreasing government involvement) and the distortions created by markets (and reduced by increasing government involvement).

  6. Managerial economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managerial_economics

    Profit management is technology enabled, as firms must be quick to respond to rapid changing market and to know the true economic cost of its products and services. Management needs to drive cooperation between different functions of the firm such as sales, marketing, and finance, to ensure the teams recognize the importance of coordinated effort.

  7. Marshallian demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshallian_demand_function

    It is a solution to the utility maximization problem of how the consumer can maximize their utility for given income and prices. A synonymous term is uncompensated demand function , because when the price rises the consumer is not compensated with higher nominal income for the fall in their real income, unlike in the Hicksian demand function .

  8. Dynamic discrete choice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_discrete_choice

    Rather than assuming observed choices are the result of static utility maximization, observed choices in DDC models are assumed to result from an agent's maximization of the present value of utility, generalizing the utility theory upon which discrete choice models are based. [1]

    Hence, his utility is (,). In a cloud computing environment, there is a large server that runs many different tasks. Suppose a certain type of a task requires 2 CPUs, 3 gigabytes of memory and 4 gigabytes of disk-space to complete. The utility of the user is equal to the number of completed tasks.
