Der Zufall in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften

Author

Listed:
  • Dilger, Alexander

Abstract

Der Zufall spielt in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften eine große Rolle, wobei meistens auf subjektive Wahrscheinlichkeiten abgestellt wird, also eingeschränktes Wissen der Wirtschaftsakteure. Objektiver Zufall in der Natur wird seltener modelliert, kommt aber auch vor. Beispielhaft wird die Rolle des Zufalls in der Entscheidungstheorie, der Spieltheorie, der Kapitalmarkttheorie und der Ökonometrie betrachtet.
