If such behavior follows a perfect hedge has been effected. ” Hardy and Lyon (1923, p. 276). 1. 1 LiteratureReviewandMotivation In the traditional hedging literature, the two markets in which hedgers trade are spot and futures markets. The trader’s position in the spot market is generally considered as given. According to Johnson (1960), hedging c

Overview: Explores the development and consequences of morphogenesis on normative regulation.Clarifies the existence of ‘Reflexive Imperative’.Discusses the possibility to establish a new corpus of laws, norms This volume explores the development and consequences of morphogenesis on normative regulation. It starts out by describing the great normative transformations from morphostasis, as the precondition of a harmonious relationship between legal validity and normative consensus in society, to morphogenesis, which tends to strongly undermine existing laws, norms, rules, rights and obligations

Overview: Contains the first systematical assessment of the contribution of Agent Based Modelling to the analysis of norms and deviance.Provides a cognitive enrichment to the largely behavioural simulation mode.The book focusses on questions of individual and collective action, the emergence and dynamics of social norms and the feedback between individual behaviour and social phenomena. It discusses traditional modelling approaches to social norms and shows the usefulness of agent-based modelling for the study of these micro-macro interactions. Existing agent-based models of social norms are d
