description: This study focuses on two topics in government procurement problems: second sourcing, and private research and development investment procurement.  A simple theoretical framework is developed to analyze the likely effects on private R&D and procurement prices of recent proposals regarding competition in procurement and the associated data0rights policy.  The framework is also used to demonstrate a major flaw in the current methodology used in the evaluation of the benefits of sourcing.  IN procurement environments where private R&D is an important factor and potential sellers have commercial markets which may be adversely affected, second sourcing may reduce competition in the initial procurement stage.  Experimental methods are used to test for the existence of the effect.

The FCC Rules for the 700MHZ Auction: A Potential Disaster
Creators: name: Plott, Charles R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2000

description: In July 2000 the FCC issued the rules to govern the upcoming 700MHz auction. The rules are a
departure from the auction architectures previously used by the FCC. Rather than all bidding
only on individual licenses, the auction participants will be able to bid on combinations or
packages of licenses. Several combinatorial auction processes exist in the literature and testing
demonstrates that such processes have a potential for substantially increasing the efficiency of
the auction. While combinatorial auction systems have been studied in various forms, indeed a
particular auction architecture was developed and studied extensively for the FCC, the rules that
emerged from the FCC deliberations are unlike any that have ever been implemented before.
The purpose of this note is to call attention to the fact that the particular rules developed by the
FCC hold the potential for tarnishing the long history of successful auctions within the FCC.
The questions posed in the pages that follow are; (i) Will the auction perform efficiently? (ii)
Does the FCC have the tools to accelerate the auction or hasten its timely termination? (iii) Will
the auction architecture scale up? The thesis of this paper is that the answer to all three of these
fundamental questions is "no". At base the auction rules rest on an inappropriate set of
principles. The principles and the intuition drawn from those principles might serve well when
the auction is restricted to bids on individual items but when the bids can be on packages of
items the principles simply do not apply.
The first section of this note outlines the rules. The second section lists problems that can evolve
from the implementation of the rules. The third section contains observations about the sources
of the problems caused by the rules and the final section suggests changes in the rules that will
remove all of the problems listed.
description: The comments of Professor Tim Salmon, Professor Ron Harstad and Professor Preston McAfee are gratefully
acknowledged. The FCC has also been helpful in clarifying rules. Of course the responsibility for all errors remains
with the author.

Information Aggregation in Experimental Asset Markets: Traps and Misaligned Beliefs

name: Webber, Martin
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1999

description: The capacity of markets to aggregate information has been conclusively demonstrated but he limitations of that capacity have still not been fully explored.  In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of "information traps".  These traps appear to be a sort of equilibrium in which information existing in the market does not become revealed in prices.  The foundation for the equilibrium is a pattern of misaligned beliefs in which each person's actions are based upon mistaken beliefs about the information held by others.  The mistakes, themselves, have a type of mutual compatibility and cannot become revealed by the price discovery process because individuals have no incentives or resources to adjust.  Attempts to probe the nature of the phenomena involved two period markets with a contingent claim instruments, experienced participants, and unlimited short selling opportunities.

description: Information Aggregation Mechanisms are economics mechanisms designed explicitly for the purpose of collecting and aggregating information.  The modern theory of rational expectations, together with the techniques and results of experimental economics, suggest that a set of properly designed markets can be a good information aggregation mechanism. The paper reports on the deployment of such an information aggregation mechanism inside Hewlett-Packard Corporation for the purpose of makings sales forecasts.  Results who that IAMs performed better than traditional methods employed inside Hewlett-Packard.  The structure of the mechanism, the methodology and the results are reported.

Diagnostic features.
Lobate form and hard surface with numerous, raised, cone-shaped projections (pointed papillae). Several large oscula between ≈ 6–7 mm. Pink to red in living and pale yellow in alcohol. The skeleton is reticulate with a fiber tract. This species was described as Spinosella elegans Thiele, 1899 (junior secondary homonym of Callyspongia (Cladochalina) elegans (von Lendenfeld, 1887)) as a large cup-shaped sponge, ≈ 30 cm high, hollow along its entire length, a pale brownish color when dry, and with very characteristic pointed papillae, often fused into a cluster of several, on the outer surface (Thiele 1899). The spicules of Thiele’s species were shown as rather thin, short-tipped amphioxeas that are 90–100 µm × 3–5 µm (van Soest et al. 2020).
Distribution and ecology.
Kema Bay (1 ° 23 ' N, 125 ° 04 ' E), north Sulawesi (Thiele 1899); and north-west of Samalona Island, the Spermonde Archipelago; reef flat; attached on rock.

Target Rat
Stochomys longicaudatus
French: Rat fléché / German: Zielratte / Spanish: Rata objetivo
Taxonomy. Dasymys longicaudatus Tull- berg, 1893,
Cameroon.
Relationships of Stochomys are uncertain. S. longicaudatus has previously been allocated to several other genera, and is possibly close to Hybomys. Monotypic.
Distribution. Widespread in tropical Africa from Volta River(Ghana) E through Congo Basin to the Albertine Rift (Uganda) and S to NW Angola (Cabinda) and SC DR Congo; occurs also on Bioko I.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 100-165 mm, tail 185-230 mm, ear 17-24 mm, hindfoot 25-33 mm; weight 70-102 g. The Target Rat is a medium-sized stocky rodent with dense woolly fur and very long tail. Fur is reddish brown to chocolate-brown above, brownish gray on flanks, and whitish or whitish brown below. Long, shiny black, backward-facing distinctive guard hairs give appearance of arrows fired into a target (hence common name). Head is large and broad, with very long whiskers, large eyes, and moderately sized rounded ears covered in short hairs. Forefeet have five digits,first digit very reduced with claw; hindfeet have five digits, first and fifth digits short. Tail is very long (c.146% of head-body length), covered with short bristles, appearing naked. Females have 1+2 = 3 pairs of nipples.
Habitat. Primary and secondary rainforest, especially near rivers and in areas with dense understory and open canopy. Less commonly occupies cultivated areas and oil palm plantations.
Food and Feeding. Diet is mainly herbivorous, comprising mostly fruit and seeds, as well as insects.
Breeding. Limited data suggest that Target Rats have small litters (1-4 embryos per pregnant female) and that they breed throughout year.
Activity patterns. Target Rats are nocturnal and terrestrial, and are scansorial (adapted for climbing).
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Trapping data suggest that Target Rats are nomadic, and that they have potential for comparatively high longevity for a rodent (recaptures after periods of up to 25 months).
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List.

Descriptive notes. Head-body 130-173 mm,tail 170-226 mm, ear 20-26 mm, hindfoot 27-32 mm; weight 62-108 g. A large, long-tailed, arboreal rodent, Kemp's Thicket Rat has fur that is long, soft, and bright orange rufous above, especially on rump, becoming slate-gray washed with bright yellowish buff on flanks. Venter is whitish with yellowish tint, sharply delineated from flanks, sometimes by thin yellow line. Head is grayish buff, with black nose tip. Eyes surrounded by darkring. Ears have brownish hairs on outer surface and golden-buff hairs on inside. Feet are buff with dark patches on upper surface; hindfeet broad. Tail is very long (c.130% of head-body length), slightly scaly, dark above and paler below, with conspicuous terminal tuft of longer hairs. Females have 0+2 = 2 pairs of nipples.
Habitat. Thickets in open areas of montane secondary forest.
Food and Feeding. Diet is herbivorous, comprising entirely green matter, probably leaves, buds, and fruits of plants.
Breeding. Reproduction occurs throughout year. Litter size is small (1-2).

Principles of Continuous Price Determination In An Experimental Environment With Flows Of Random Arrivals And Departures
Creators: name: Plott, Charles R.

Subjects: equilibrium, experiment, price determination, continuous market, value, complex markets, dynamic adjustment

description: A new experimental market environment is developed. Continuously arriving incentives replace the traditional period structure. The issue posed is whether classical principles of market behavior apply when the environment is constantly changing. Three broad results emerge.  (1) Natural "flow" generalizations of the laws of demand and supply exist and dictate much of the market behavior. (2) Two different classes of laws operate: the "temporal equilibrium", which is based on the parameters that exist in the market at a moment and the "flow competitive equilibrium," which reflects the probabilistic structure of the parameters. (3) The markets exhibit extraordinarily high levels of efficiency.

Asset Bubbles and Rationality: Additional Evidence from Capital Gains Tax Experiments
Creators: name: Lei, Vivian

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2002

description: [Introduction] The remarkable phenomenon of bubbles and crashes in laboratory asset markets was first
discovered and reported in Smith et al (1988). Subsequent research inquired about the robustness
of the phenomenon and how it might be explained. One interpretation of the data is that public
knowledge of rationality is lacking in the subjects, which leads to a type of individually rational,
bubble creating speculation as part of an attempt to acquire capital gains. A different
interpretation is that subjects begin with a type of confusion or mistaken understanding about this
particular environment and that such "irrationality" at the individual level initiates the bubble,
which could be sustained by a lack of common knowledge of rationality even after all confusion
becomes removed during the process of participating in the market. This paper explores these
two ideas through the study of experiments in which a capital gains tax is imposed that makes
speculation for capital gains unprofitable except under extreme circumstances.

Local Telephone Exchanges, Regulation, and Entry
Creators: name: Plott, Charles R.
name: Wilkie, Simon
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1995

description: This paper explores the relationship between technology and the policies that govern competition in the local telephone business. Analysis of competition policies requires a "long run" modeling perspective in which not only the entry and exit of firms are allowed but also allowed in changes in the nature of the investment in the underlying network technology such as network backbone and it s topology.  This long run perspective requires a focus on the sources and conditions of joint production and public goods that exist in the production process and how they are influenced by the finance of the business and the constraints policies placed on firms to provide services that are not profitable.

An Experimental Analysis of the Structure of Legal Fees:
 American Rule vs. English Rule
Creators: name: Coughan, Peter J.
name: Plott, Charles R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1997

description: The expanding volume of lawsuits and the ballooning of legal expenditures in recent years has
attracted the interest, concern, and even anger of the American public and politicians. These
developments have led law makers to consider alternative legal fee allocation rules as methods for
administering justice more efficiently. Under the traditional American rule, parties to a lawsuit
must each pay their own legal expenses. One reform proposal is the English rule, under which the
losing party must pay the prevailing party's attorney fees in addition to her own expenses. To
evaluate the different effects of these two rules on litigant behavior and legal outcomes, we
conduct a theoretical and experimental analysis of environments which can be interpreted as legal
disputes in which the probability of winning a lawsuit is partially determined by the legal
expenditures of the litigants and partially determined by the inherent merits of the case. We
investigate decisions regarding trial expenditure and examine the effects of the two allocation
rules on pretrial issues of suit and settlement. The data demonstrate that game theoretic
equilibrium models produce good qualitative predictions of the relative institutional response to
changes in the allocation rule and to differences in such parameters as case merit and lawyer
productivity. In our most significant result, we find that the English rule produces significantly
higher expenditure at trial than the American rule. On the other hand, the frequency of trial is
significantly lower under the English rule. Combining these two effects, we find that average
expenditure per legal dispute is higher under the English rule than under the American rule.

Misconceptions and Game Form Recognition of the BDM Method: Challenges to Theories of Revealed Preference and Framing
Creators: name: Cason, Timothy N.
name: Plott, Charles R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2014
Subjects: Preference Elicitation
Misconceptions
Reference Dependence
Endowment Effect

description: This study explores the tension between the standard economic theory of preference and non-standard theories of preference that are motivated by an underlying theory of framing.  A simple experiment was performed to measure a known preference, the value of a card that can be exchanged for $2 cash. The measurement does not produce the known preference and instead reports a preference that has properties often cited in support of non-standard preference theories and framing. Close examination reveals that the divergence of the measured preference from the known preference reflects a mistake, arising from some subjects' misconception of the game form.  We conclude that choice data should not be granted an unqualified interpretation of preference revelation. Mistakes in choices obscured by a possible error at the foundations of the theory of framing, can masquerade as having been produced by non-standard preferences.

Diagnostic features.
Specimen form tube, soft and delicate. Color yellowish in living material and yellow to pale white in alcohol. The skeleton forms an isotropic reticulation of a single line spicules. All spicules on this specimen are oxeas, 88–109 (95.2) × 4.3–6.5 (5.7) µm (n = 20).
Distribution and ecology.
The WPD checklist only lists four species of the subgenus Reniera recorded from marine ecoregions of Indonesia with two as doubtful species, Haliclona (Reniera) cinerea (Grant, 1826) (doubtful species), Haliclona (Reniera) fascigera (Hentschel, 1912), Haliclona (Reniera) infundibularis (Ridley & Dendy, 1887) (doubtful species), and Haliclona (Reniera) venusta (Bowerbank, 1875), but none of these species were registered in the Spermonde Archipelago (Putra et al. 2023). This report presents a new record of Haliclona (Reniera) venusta from the Spermonde Archipelago (Samalona Island; reef flat). Previously, this species has been only reported from Malacca Strait (Bowerbank 1875).

A Parimutuel-like Mechanism from Information Aggregation: A Field Test Inside Intel

Year: 2014

description: Field tests of a new Information Aggregation Mechanism (IAM) developed via laboratory experimental methods were implemented inside Intel Corporation for sales forecasting.  The IAM, which incorporates selected features of parimutuel betting, is uniquely designed to collect and quantize as probability distributions any dispersed, subjectively held information that might exist.  The tests demonstrate the robustness of experimental results and the practical usefulness of the IAM.  The IAM yields predicted distributions of future sales that are very accurate at short horizons; indeed, more accurate than Intel's official in-house forecast 59% of the time.  A symmetric game model suggests why the IAM works.

Haliclona cymaeformis

description: Haliclona (Gellius) cymaeformis (Esper, 1806)
Fig. 7
Diagnostic features.
The appearance is thickly encrusting to repent or arborescent (bushy). The specimen is hard and smooth on the surface, with a broad erect base with short branches. The color in life is dark greyish pink (dark purple) with desaturated dark green on the tips. After preservation, the color is pale pink to yellow. Ectosomal skeleton shows unispicular tract and covering the associated branching microalgae (Fig. 7 c). Spicules are oxeas, 109–154 (129.7) × 2.3–5.2 (3.9) µm (n = 27), and microscleres are sigmas.
Haliclona (Gellius) cymaeformis (Esper, 1806) was abundant in turbid water near Makassar City. This species is known to be associated with the rhodophyte Ceratodictyon spongiosum Zanardini, 1878 (Azzini et al. 2007). Its morphological appearance is possibly similar to those of Halichondria (Halichondria) cartilaginea (Esper, 1797) and Callyspongia (Cladochalina) samarensis (Wilson, 1925).
Distribution and ecology.
This species has been recorded from marine karst lakes in Vietnam (Azzini et al. 2007), in shallow waters of the South China Sea (Huang et al. 2016; Lim et al. 2016), and in Taiwan (Li 2013), Andaman (Immanuel et al. 2015), India (George et al. 2020), across the Indonesian Archipelago (de Voogd and Cleary 2008), and north-west Australia (Fromont and Sampey 2014). Our samples were collected from a reef flat north-west of Samalona Island, overgrowing corals (Seriatopora sp. and Acropora sp.), also from Kayangan Island and Gusung Tallang; turbid reef environment.
