locus of control and job search strategies
The Review of Economics and Statistics, 2015Co-Authors: Marco Caliendo, Deborah A Cobbclark, Arne UhlendorffAbstract:Standard job search theory assumes that unemployed individuals have perfect information about the effect of their search effort on the job offer arrival rate. In this paper, we present an alternative model which assumes instead that each individual has a Subjective Belief about the impact of his or her search effort on the rate at which job offers arrive. These Beliefs depend in part on an individual's locus of control, i.e., the extent to which a person believes that future outcomes are determined by his or her own actions as opposed to external factors. We estimate the impact of locus of control on job search behavior using a novel panel data set of newly-unemployed individuals in Germany. Consistent with our theoretical predictions, we find evidence that individuals with an internal locus of control search more and that individuals who believe that their future outcomes are determined by external factors have lower reservation wages.

a model for the integration of prioritized knowledge bases through Subjective Belief games
Systems Man and Cybernetics, 2010Co-Authors: Ebrahim Bagheri, Ali A GhorbaniAbstract:Belief merging is concerned with the integration of several Belief bases such that a coherent Belief base is developed. Various Belief merging models that use a Belief negotiation game have been developed. These models often consist of two key functions, namely, negotiation and weakening. A negotiation function finds and selects the weakest Belief bases among the available Belief bases, while the weakening function removes the least valuable set of information from the selected Belief base. This process is iteratively repeated until a consistent Belief base is developed. In this paper, we extend the current game-based Belief merging models by introducing the Subjective Belief game model. The Subjective Belief game model operates over a Subjective Belief profile, which consists of Belief bases with Subjectively annotated formulas. The Subjective information attached to each formula enables the proposed model to prioritize the formulas in the merging process. One of the advantages of the proposed game is that it provides room for enhancing the content of the weak Belief bases, instead of enforcing their further weakening. Trustworthiness of the information sources is also considered. We provide several instantiations of the model. The Subjective Belief game model can be useful for formalizing a negotiation process between the human participants of a design process in cases where discrepancies and conflicts arise. We apply this Belief game model to an example case study of collaboratively designing some parts of unified modeling language (UML) class diagram for vehicle design.

on the definition of essential and contingent properties of Subjective Belief bases
Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2008Co-Authors: Ebrahim Bagheri, Ali A GhorbaniAbstract:In this paper, we introduce several features of Subjective Belief bases from both individualistic and collective perspectives and hence provide suitable essential and contingent properties for such Belief bases. Essential properties reflect the attributes of a Belief base being considered in vacuum, whereas contingent properties of a Belief base reveal its characteristics with regards to the rest of its peer Belief bases. Subjective Belief bases employ values from Subjective logic, a type of probabilistic logic that explicitly takes uncertainty and Belief ownership into account, to represent the priority information of the formula in each Belief base. We show that Subjective Belief bases are a generalization of prioritized Belief bases whose formula are annotated with their degree of necessity from possibilistic logic. We also discuss the role of essential and contingent properties in defining suitable Belief base ordering functions.

integrating Subjective knowledge bases through an extended Belief game model
Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2008Co-Authors: Ebrahim Bagheri, Ali A GhorbaniAbstract:Belief merging is concerned with the integration of several not necessarily consistent Belief bases such that a coherent Belief base is developed as a result. Various Belief merging models often consist of two key functions, namely: negotiation, and weakening. A negotiation function finds the weakest Belief bases among the available Belief bases, and then the selected Belief bases concede based on a weakening function. This process is iteratively repeated until a consistent Belief base is developed. In this paper, we extend the existing Belief merging models by introducing the extended Belief game model. The extended Belief game model operates over a Subjective Belief profile, which consists of Belief bases with Subjectively annotated formulae. The Subjective information attached to each formula enables the proposed model to prioritize the formulae in the merging process. We provide several instantiations of the merging model by introducing suitable functions.
