Schnitkey, Gary D., Novak, Frank
In this paper, we examine risk reductions possible by including off-farm assets with farm assets in a form growth context. We specify a dynamic investment model in which an individual can invest in hog finishing barns, stocks, and financial holdings. We solve this model for an Alberta hog...

Aggregation-Based Framework for Construction Risk Assessment with Heterogeneous Groups of Experts
Download2019-01-01
Monzer, Natalie, Fayek, Aminah Robinson, Lourenzutti, Rodolfo, Siraj, Nasir B.
Construction companies continuously seek to improve risk analysis techniques to determine the contingency of projects. Construction risk assessment relies on a group decision-making (GDM) process, in which a heterogeneous group of experts provides their opinions to determine the probabilities and...

Determining Project Contingency Reserve Using a Fuzzy Arithmetic-Based Risk Analysis Method
Download2020-01-01
Fateminia, Seyed Hamed, Siraj, Nasir Bedewi, Fayek, Aminah Robinson, Johnston, Andrew
Traditional techniques for estimating contingency reserve fail to capture subjective uncertainties and expert knowledge, and they rely on historical data. This paper proposes a fuzzy risk analysis model (FRAM) that uses fuzzy arithmetic to analyze risk and opportunity events and determine...
