Medical Decision Making
This textbook offers a comprehensive analysis of medical decision making under uncertainty by combining Test Information Theory with Expected Utility Theory. The book shows how the parameters of Bayes’ theorem can be combined with a value function of health states to arrive at informed test and treatment decisions. The authors distinguish between risk-neutral, risk-averse and prudent decision makers and demonstrate the effects of risk preferences on physicians’ decisions. They analyze individual tests, multiple tests and endogenous tests where the test outcome is chosen by the decision maker. Moreover, the topic is examined in the context of health economics by introducing a trade-off between enjoying health and consuming other goods, so that the extent of treatment and thus the potential improvement in the patient’s health becomes endogenous. Finally, non-expected utility models of choice under risk and uncertainty (i.e. ambiguity) are presented. While these models can explain observed test and treatment decisions, they are not suitable for normative analyses aimed at providing guidance on medical decision making.
Swiss Finance
How could a small country in the middle of Europe, surrounded by much bigger countries and economic giants like Germany and France and in direct competition with North American and Asian rivals, develop world-class, cutting-edge financial markets? Swiss Finance answers this question, separating myth from reality, by explaining how Switzerland managed dramatic pressures brought to bear on its financial markets during the past two decades, perhaps none of them so great as the: · Competitive challenges caused by changes in Switzerland's banking secrecy laws and practices, · Shifting tide of new wealth generation toward Asia (e.g., China, Singapore, and South Korea), · Burdensome federal stamp and withholding taxes, and · Digitalization of the financial services industry, including cybersecurity, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, central bank digital currencies, the FinTech revolution, and DLT applications. Swiss Finance thoroughly analyzes Swiss financial markets’ successes and challenges. It covers critical topics for practitioners and academics to fully understand this unique development in world financial markets and private wealth administration.

Fintech und DLT
Dieses Werk beleuchtet in erster Linie das «Bundesgesetz zur Anpassung des Bundesrechts an Entwicklungen der Technik verteilter elektronischer Register», die dazugehörige Verordnung und weitere «Fintech»-Rechtssätze. Namentlich soll es die Zusammenhänge sowohl zwischen den Teilen dieses Mantelerlasses als auch dem vorbestehenden Privat- und Finanzmarktrecht aufzeigen. Daneben geht es auf die rechtlichen Aspekte bestimmter «Fintech»-Phänomene ein, fasst die parallelen Entwicklungen in der EU sowie teilweise in anderen Rechtsordnungen zusammen und vergleicht diese mit der Schweizer Rechtslage. Der relativ umfassende Ansatz soll der Praxis, aber nicht zuletzt auch den rechtsetzenden Behörden einen raschen Überblick über die zum Teil nicht leicht zugängliche Materie verschaffen, indem auch die legislatorischen Massnahmen kritisch gewürdigt werden.
