... If certain aversion-preferences are determined, then distorted versions of the respective barycenters are the optimal representations of the priors' set and under these the optimal actions of the decision maker are chosen. For more details on belief aggregation issues and some applications in policy selection, actuarial and financial applications please see [11] and [12]. ...

... They can also be well integrated in econometric models that monitor the evolution of economic sizes and quantities, e.g., wage levels etc., that are considered to be among the driving forces of migration. Furthermore, issues such as opposing legislation or cultural differences etc. can be included as categorical factors in the models (see e.g., Petracou et al. 2014). As these models are in general multifactor models, one can easilly include environmental aspects among the many factors shaping the decision to migrate or not, and try to assess the relative importance of these factors. ...

... Although this picture matches present-day reality, I take issue with their claim that today's segregation is simply an "ossification" of socialist urban patterns. This shortcoming brings me to the use of spatial concepts such as ghetto (see Sharkey 2013; Nightingale 2012), ethnic neighborhood (see Chorianopoulos, Tsetsiou, and Petracou 2014;Suditu and Vâlceanu 2013;Berescu, Petrović, and Teller 2013), or the "hyper" ghetto (see Berescu 2013Berescu , 2011Vincze 2018;Wacquant 2008Wacquant , 2007. ...
