› Home › CV Victor Stango Jonathan Zinman › Bio: Victor Stango Jonathan Zinman "Fuzzy Math and Red Ink" Victor Stango , Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College Jonathan Zinman , Department of Economics, Dartmouth College Introduction R esearch at the intersection of economics and psychology is expanding on traditional views about how people make financial decisions. There is an emerging consensus that individuals often have self-control problems, overly optimistic expectations, and heuristics that do not square well with traditional concepts of rationality. These “behavioral” aspects of financial decision-making have been shown to have important real-world effects. Our research sets out in a new direction. We first document that people’s intuitive assessments about complex mathematical problems are biased in ways that encourage borrowing and discourage saving . These biases - what we call "fuzzy math" in household financial decisions - have a clear foundation in cognitive psychology. We then ask how fuzzy math affects short- and long-run financial decisions

We're confused. Mr Kagan argues that Iraq needs 35,000 more combat troops. (For simplicity's sake let's ignore for the moment the distinction between army soldiers and Marines, and who's going to Baghdad and who's going to Anbar.) The Bush administration is saying it is sending 21,500 troops. Mr Kagan responds that what really matters is the number of "brigade combat teams", which include crucial support troops. Brigade sizes range based on the type of unit, but average around 3,500 soldiers each. The administration's figures are based on that estimate. In reality, the U.S. Army does not simply deploy brigades into combat, but instead sends Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs)... Sizes of BCTs also vary, of course, but they average more like 5,000 soldiers. Since these are the formations that will actually be deployed to Iraq and used there, I have been estimating deployments on this basis: five brigade combat teams include around 25,000 soldiers; one Marine Regimental Combat Team (RCTs are somewhat smaller than Army brigades) includes perhaps 4,000. So the surge being briefed by the Bush administration now is much more likely to be around 29,000 troops than 22,000in other words, close to the number of

Van Hilleary has claimed to be the leader in fundraising. Ah, but he's using fuzzy math , says Blogging For Bryant According to his report 57 individual contributors have already maxed out meaning they contributed $4000 to the Hilleary campaign. Federal election law will only allow an individual to contribute $2000 toward the primary and $2000 toward the general, so if Hilleary spends any of the money alotted for the general during the primary and loses, he must reimburse his contributors. That takes $121,400 off the table for Hilleary in the GOP primary, leaving his campaign with $265,608 to work with. At the rate Hilleary's campaign is burning money - an average of $9000 a week during the 1Q - he's going to need to pick up his fundraising pace drastically to be competitive.

Fuzzy Math - Revenues VS. Charges To contact Health Watch USA please use the following E-Mail Address Content in this website may be linked to, as long as the linking webpage and passage has a known and clearly stated author. KY Governor's Office Using Fuzzy Math to Determine Hospital Cost Effectiveness We calculate a hospital would have to charge three times above the Kentucky state average (not 50% more) before the State feels a hospital is not cost effective. Here’s why: In our area, approximately 75% of patients have Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare and Medicaid not only have reduced payments compared to private insurance but payments are approximately the same to all hospitals in the state. This tends to reduce the difference in average revenues between hospitals. If gasoline was healthcare, we estimate that the Governor may have Pulaski residents paying up to $8 a gallon for gas before he would allow another gas station to be built.

slacktivist "Knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend" Main Nov 20, 2003 Fuzzy math I'm worried that my niece is going to grow up to be a Bush Republican. Right now she's 6, and a big fan of chocolate-covered raisins, which she reluctantly shares with her sisters. The other day she announced that the bowl had only 12 raisins left. Her grandfather sees an opportunity for a little arithmetic lesson. He says, "Well, Katie, if 3 of you are sharing 12 raisins, how many can you have? How many times does 3 go into 12?" "Six," she says. He's about to correct her when she clarifies, " I can have 6, and Abby and Lydia each can have 3." She's got that GOP math down pretty well.

Jumping To Conclusions Thoughts, comments, musings on life, politics, current events and the media. Main Fuzzy math Did you know that Bill Gates and I control, between us, 97% of the operating system market share if you don't count Linux? That's about the logic in Amnesty International's latest report on the state of the death penalty in the world. As in previous years, the vast majority of executions worldwide were carried out in a tiny handful of countries. In 2002, 81 per cent of all known executions took place in China, Iran and the USA. In China, limited and incomplete records available to Amnesty International at year end indicated that at least 1,060 people were executed, but the true figure was believed to be much higher. At least 113 executions were carried out in Iran. Seventy-one people were executed in the USA. So, 81% of executions took place in China, Iran, and the US of which only 4.7% were in the US. Lumping them together is designed to hide the fact that China carried out virtually all of the executions listed. But wait as Amnesty admits, this only counts known cases; "the true figures were certainly higher." For instance, AI's 2002 report mentions Iraq, Cuba, and Syria exactly

About Subscribe Nonprofit Partners Speak Up ... Magazine My Blog Back to main Politics not yet rated fuzzy math response to Morgan Clendaniel 's post Interpreting Iowa author bgunn Morgan, you wrote: "Since 1972, there have been seven Democratic Iowa caucuses (cauci?) in which a sitting president or vice president wasn't running. Of those seven, the winner has gone on to become the nominee twice." Not quite. There have actually been 6 caucuses (that's the plural, btw) since 1972 (unless you include 2008, which makes no sense). And since then there have been 3 times that a non-incumbent won the nom, not 2: Carter in '76; Mondale in '84; and Kerry in '04 (well, technically Carter lost to "uncommitted", but he beat all the other candidates). Perhaps you were thinking that Mondale was the sitting VP back in '84. The other three: Muskie in '72 Gephardt in '88 (Dukakis finished 3rd) Harkin in '92 Harkin, of course, is from Iowa, so no one even bothered to run against him in '92 (which also invalidates your point about Clinton winning 3% of the vote). So that means in 5 meaningful caucuses, three times the winner became the nominee, twice he didn't. In other words, your point about Iowa being a pretty weak indicator of future success is itself pretty weak.

36. Fuzzy Math - MOOREWATCH - Watching Michael Moore's Every Move Manufacturing Dissent Uncovering Michael Moore. Hillary Opposes Socialism, Just Like Mikey Home Sicko used to promote Havana Hospital, http://www.moorewatch.com/index.php/weblog/comments/fuzzy_math/

@import "http://www.moorewatch.com/index.php?css=weblog/weblog_css"; < Hillary Opposes Socialism, Just Like Mikey Home Sicko used to promote Havana Hospital, but banned for Cubans >> Fuzzy Math Posted by MikeS on 08/10/07 at 10:34 PM Ted Frank takes apart some of the numbers in Sicko The movie itself often gets a similarly misleading numerical gloss. Moore was lauded recently in the Huffington Post by Rose Ann Demoro, who wrote Moore’s movie is the “fourth-highest grossing documentary of all time,” and a “clear, unequivocal message that insurance companies are the problem.” On the other hand, the $22 million Moore’s movie has grossed is about two days worth of American frozen pizza sales. The Transformers movie has grossed more than ten times as much, but no one suggests that this means we should rework our defense policy to be better prepared to face Decepticons. There are in fact more than twenty other documentaries that have grossed more money than Sicko. Some of them, like the Jackass movies or Eddie Murphy concert movies, are decidedly lowbrow (though one Village Voice critic called Jackass Number 2 the best documentary of the year); others are IMAX movies that have made their fortune through being shown to decades of schoolkids on field trips. Until now, however, no one has compiled a list of the highest-grossing documentaries in one place. Even sites such as Boxofficemojo.com and The-numbers.com that compile box office numbers fail to do so consistently within the site when it comes to documentaries.

HOME LOCAL BUSINESS SPORTS ... BLOGS The Bremerton Beat a kitsapsun.com blog by Andrew Binion Main Fuzzy Math Updated You'll see that we've posted a story on the home page about opposition to the West Hills annexation. It would seem that if an election were held, it's on the city to make the case that being part of the city is better. I did the math using the worksheet the city provided, and it would seem to me that most people would find the city deal to be cheaper. However, I don't know if there are hidden costs the worksheet doesn't indicate. Pamalonia McCrary believes she has found some and wrote a letter to the editor in which she poses some good questions. Her questions should also be addressed at the city council meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Norm Dicks building. McCrary will have between now and May to get an election sheduled, which should be easy. She only needs signatures from 10 percent of the area's registered voters, which probably means rounding up no more than 20 people. Posted by Steven Gardner on March 18, 2007 01:05 PM Permalink Comments As you state, the math favors annexing into Bremerton. So does the local representation, Police, Fire and Medical.

This tragic and human drama of the Palestine story was never fully told in a way that made it to the American conscience. Instead, millions of Palestinians have been looked at as faceless victims for so long. Now, the raw scenes of Palestinian children standing next to machine guns and tanks holding nothing but rocks has added a new chapter to the Palestinian story and forced the Americans to reconsider their apathy. The haunting images of 12-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Al-Durrah, killed in the crossfire between the Israeli and Palestinian forces while seeking protection with his father, is disturbing indeed. The fate of the young victim provided a human face for the first time in the Palestinian's drama. In an age where there are more storytellers than good stories; where we elect our leaders not so much based on issues but based on how well they tell their own personal stories; in an age of fuzzy math and fuzzy morality, the Palestinian story never made it to the American bedtime literature.
