In this talk, James Price (University of Warwick) presents his research on decisions over processes that stop in finite-time and processes where the outcome of a decision depends on the current wealth of the agent. In addition to expected growth-rate maximisation, he introduces the concept of stochastic precedence, and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of both metrics when used for decision-making.

The seminar was hosted by James King (Science Practice) and Emilie Rosenlund Soysal (London Mathematical Laboratory).
