title: Product Durability in Markets with Consumer Lock-in

Subjects: subject: Consumer Lock-in, Product Durability, Duopoly
subject: 330

description: This paper examines a two-period duopoly where consumers are locked-in by switching costs that they face in the second period. The paper's main focus is on the question of how the consumer lock-in affects the firms' choice of product durability. We show that firms may face a prisoners' dilemma situation in that they simultaneously choose non-durable products although they would have higher profits by producing durables. From a social welfare perspective, firms may even choose an inefficiently high level of product durability.

description: Is free-riding in teams reduced when one member receives a signal on his colleagueís performance? And how does free-riding depend on the signal's type? We address these questions in experimental teams in which two agents sequentially exert effort to contribute to the team output. We vary the type of information the second mover receives prior to his effort choice and find that agents work more when signals are available. Overall, behavior differs from predictions of standard theory. Signals that are predicted to have no effect are, in fact, influential and signals that are predicted to have an effect are redundant.

Subjects: subject: 330

description: The infamous Blackberry case brought new attention to so-called "patent trolls" and began the general association of trolls with "non-practicing" patent holders. This has had important legal consequences: Namely, patent holders have been denied injunctive relief because they did not practice the patents themselves. In this paper we analyze how patent holders -- both non-practicing and vertically integrated -- choose their royalties depending on the structure of the upstream and downstream markets and the types of licensing agreements available. We show that a vertically integrated firm has an incentive to raise its rivals’ costs and to restrict entry on the downstream market; incentives that do not hold for non-integrated patent holders. An automatic presumption that a non-integrated patent holder will charge higher royalties than a vertically integrated company is therefore unfounded. Whether a company charges "excessive" royalties depends on whether there is scope for hold-up, either because of sunk investments on the part of potential licensees or because of "weak" patents held by the licensor. These factors are orthogonal to whether patent holders are practicing or not

Subjects: subject: Durability, quality, monopoly
subject: 330

description: I show that Swan’s (1970) independence result requires a multiplicative interaction between durability and all other quality attributes. Because there is no compelling argument for a multiplicativity in quality, monopolists tend to distort durability, even with constant marginal costs. Distortions in durability and other quality aspects are aligned exactly when the marginal cost of quality do not increase too much with durability.

description: In our paper targets, by setting a reserve price, screen acquirers on their (expected) ability to generate merger-speci?c synergies. Both empirical evidence and many common merger models suggest that the di?erence between high- and low-synergy mergers becomes smaller during booms. This implies that the target’s opportunity cost for sorting out relatively less ?tting acquirers increases and, hence, targets screen less tightly during booms, which leads to a hike in merger activity. Our screening mechanism not only predicts that merger activity is intense during economic booms and subdued during recessions but is also consistent with other stylized facts about takeovers and generates novel testable predictions.

description: Cellular slime moulds (Dictyosteloids) are characterised by at least two different modes of slug migration. Most species, e.g. Dictyostelium mucoroides, produce a stalk continuously during slug migration, while a few species, e.g. Dictyostelium discoideum are characterised by stalk-less slug migration and only produce a stalk upon culmination. Experiments on D. discoideum and theoretical model calculations have shown that D. discoideum slugs are organized by a cAMP scroll wave in the tip which produces planar waves in the back. These waves guide cell movement in slugs: spiralling in the tip and forward movement parallel to the slug axis in the back. Simple changes in model parameters can lead to the formation of a twisted scroll wave which extends throughout the slug. In order to investigate whether such twisted scroll waves occur naturally we have analysed the movement of fluorescently labelled single cells in migrating D. mucoroides slugs. The results show that cells in the prespore zone of D. mucoroides slugs move in a spiral path. Although the velocity of single cells in D. mucoroides is faster than in D. discoideum, the net forward component of their movement is less due to their spiral trajectories. As a result D. mucoroides slugs move more slowly than D. discoideum slugs. The entire D. mucoroides slug also describes a spiralling path leaving corkscrew shaped stalks behind. Based on these observations we propose that cell movement in D. mucoroides slugs is controlled by a propagating twisted scroll wave of cAMP which extends throughout the length of the slug.

Η στρατηγική θέση της περιοχής, η  οποία αποτελεί τη σύνδεση μεταξύ της Παλιάς με τη Νέα πόλη και το αστικό αυτό ανεκμετάλλευτο κενό συντέλεσαν στην πρόταση δημιουργίας ενός κέντρου πολιτισμού αλλά και ενός νέου πράσινου τοπίου  το οποίο θα λειτουργεί σαν <<πέρασμα>> προσελκύοντας με αυτόν τον τρόπο  τόσο τους μόνιμους κατοίκους αλλα και τους επισκέπτες της πόλης. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη φυσιογνωμία του εδάφους της πόλης, των λόφων του Παλαμηδίου αλλα και της Ακροναυπλίας προτείνεται ένα κτίριο του οποίου τα δώματα είναι βατά, κεκλιμένα και λειτουργούν ως χώροι διάβασης, στάσης αλλα και θέασης προς όλες τις κατευθύνσεις (λοφος,θάλασσα,Παλια πόλη, Νέα πόλη). Το κέντρο πολιτισμού θα στεγάζει χρήσεις όπως· εκθεσιακούς χώρους, αίθουσα θεάτρου, μικρότερες αίθουσες παρουσιάσεων και συνεδριάσεων, bookshop και αναψυκτήριο.

description: The design of the present thesis concerns the creation of a cultural centre and by extension the regeneration of the surrounding area in the city of Nafplio and more specifically in the area of the railway station. The strategic location of the area, which is the link between the Old and the New Town and this unused urban void contributed to the proposal for the creation of a cultural centre and a new green landscape that will thus act as a pole of attraction for both residents and visitors of the city. Taking into account the physiognomy of the city's terrain, the hills of Palamidi and Acronauplia, a building is proposed whose roofs are low, sloping and function as transit, staging and viewing areas to all directions (hill, sea, Old Town, New Town). The cultural centre will house uses such as: exhibition spaces, a theatre hall, smaller presentation and meeting rooms, a bookshop and a refreshment room.

description: Visual search problems are often reported in children with Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI). To tackle the clinical challenge of objectively differentiating CVI from other neurodevelopmental disorders, we developed a novel test battery. Visual search tasks were coupled with verbal and gaze-based measurements. Two search tasks were performed by children with CVI (n: 22; mean age (SD): 9.63 (.46) years) ADHD (n: 32; mean age (SD): 10.51 (.25) years), dyslexia (n: 28; mean age (SD): 10.29 (.20) years) and neurotypical development (n: 44; mean age (SD): 9.30 (.30) years). Children with CVI had more impaired search performance compared to all other groups, especially in crowded and unstructured displays and even when they had normal visual acuity. In-depth gaze-based analyses revealed that this group searched in overall larger areas and needed more time to recognize a target, particularly after their initial fixation on the target. Our gaze-based approach to visual search offers new insights into the distinct search patterns and behaviours of children with CVI. Their tendency to overlook targets whilst fixating on it, point towards higher-order visual function (HOVF) deficits. The novel method is feasible, valid, and promising for clinical differential-diagnostic evaluation between CVI, ADHD and dyslexia, and for informing individualized training.

description: Aged humans show severe difficulties in temporal auditory processing tasks (e.g., speech recognition in noise, low-frequency sound localization, gap detection). A degradation of auditory function with age is also evident in experimental animals. To investigate age-related changes in temporal processing, we compared extracellular responses to temporally variable pulse trains and human speech in the inferior colliculus of young adult (3 month) and aged (3 years) Mongolian gerbils. We observed a significant decrease of selectivity to the pulse trains in neuronal responses from aged animals. This decrease in selectivity led, on the population level, to an increase in signal correlations and therefore a decrease in heterogeneity of temporal receptive fields and a decreased efficiency in encoding of speech signals. A decrease in selectivity to temporal modulations is consistent with a downregulation of the inhibitory transmitter system in aged animals. These alterations in temporal processing could underlie declines in the aging auditory system, which are unrelated to peripheral hearing loss. These declines cannot be compensated by traditional hearing aids (that rely on amplification of sound) but may rather require pharmacological treatment.

description: This review summarizes vertebrate rhombic lip and early cerebellar development covering classic approaches up to modern developmental genetics which identifies the relevant differential gene expression domains and their progeny. Most of this information is derived from amniotes. However, progress in anamniotes, particularly in the zebrafish, has recently been made. The current picture suggests that rhombic lip and cerebellar development in jawed vertebrates (gnathostomes) share many characteristics. Regarding cerebellar development, these include a ptf1a expressing ventral cerebellar proliferation (VCP) giving rise to Purkinje cells and other inhibitory cerebellar cell types, and an atoh1 expressing upper rhombic lip giving rise to an external granular layer (EGL, i.e., excitatory granule cells) and an early ventral migration into the anterior rhombencephalon (cholinergic nuclei). As for the lower rhombic lip (LRL), gnathostome commonalities likely include the formation of precerebellar nuclei (mossy fiber origins) and partially primary auditory nuclei (likely convergently evolved) from the atoh1 expressing dorsal zone. The fate of the ptf1a expressing ventral LRL zone which gives rise to (excitatory cells of) the inferior olive (climbing fiber origin) and (inhibitory cells of ) cochlear nuclei in amniotes, has not been determined in anamniotes. Special for the zebrafish in comparison to amniotes is the predominant origin of anamniote excitatory deep cerebellar nuclei homologs (i.e., eurydendroid cells) from ptf1a expressing VCP cells, the sequential activity of various atoh1 paralogs and the incomplete coverage of the subpial cerebellar plate with proliferative EGL cells. Nevertheless, the conclusion that a rhombic lip and its major derivatives evolved with gnathostome vertebrates only and are thus not an ancestral craniate character complex is supported by the absence of a cerebellum (and likely absence of its afferent and efferent nuclei) in jawless fishes.

description: In the analysis of differential item functioning (DIF) using item response theory (IRT), a common metric is necessary to compare item parameters between groups of test-takers. In the Rasch model, the same restriction is placed on the item parameters in each group in order to define a common metric. However, the question how the items in the restriction - termed anchor items - are selected  appropriately is still a major challenge. This article proposes a conceptual framework for categorizing anchor methods: The anchor class to describe characteristics of the anchor methods and the anchor selection strategy to guide how the anchor items are determined. Furthermore, a new anchor class termed the iterative forward anchor class is proposed. Several anchor classes are implemented with two different anchor selection strategies (the all-other and the single-anchor selection strategy) and are compared in an extensive simulation study. The results show that the newly proposed anchor class combined with the single-anchor selection strategy is superior in situations where no prior knowledge about the direction of DIF is available. Moreover, it is shown that the proportion of DIF items in the anchor - rather than the fact whether the anchor includes DIF items at all (termed contaminationin previous studies) - is crucial for suitable DIF analysis.
title: Humanitäre Interventionen

Year: 2013

description: Mit dem militärischen Eingriff der internationalen Gemeinschaft in den Libyen-Konflikt im Jahr 2011 wurde erstmalig die Doktrin Responsibility to Protect (R2P) als Legitimation für eine Intervention angewandt. Als Weiterführung der Lehre des gerechten Krieges bietet die R2P jedoch lediglich marginale Neuerungen und dient weitgehend dazu, militärische Interventionen unter der Ägide einer Internationalen Schutzverantwortung zu rechtfertigen. Bedenken und Zweifel hinsichtlich der wahren Motive dieser als humanitär gekennzeichneten Intervention wurden bereits zu Anfang des Konflikts geäußert. Die vorliegende Arbeit überprüft anhand einer Medienanalyse der österreichischen Tageszeitung Der Standard die Gründe und Motivationen hinter der militärischen Intervention in Libyen. Nach der als Erfolg verbuchten militärischen Intervention in Libyen steht das Land heute vor massiven Problemen. Abspaltungstendenzen im Süden des Landes, die hohe Zirkulation von Kleinwaffen und die Durchlässigkeit der Grenzen lösen einen Zerfallsprozess Libyens aus, der das Land zu einem failed state werden lässt. Ob die Internationale Gemeinschaft durch ihren Fokus auf einen Luftkrieg und die damit verbundene massive Zerstörung der Infrastruktur oder aufgrund der von vielen als übereilt erachteten Abzugsstrategie zum Teil für den Zerfallsprozess Libyens und die jetzige Fragilität des Landes verantwortlich gemacht werden kann, bleibt in den Analysen meist unerwähnt. Die Ausgangsbedingungen für eine erfolgreiche Demokratisierung Libyens waren durchaus als positiv zu bewerten. Dennoch kämpft das Land mit den Folgen einer über 40 Jahre dauernden Diktatur und den Nachwehen eines Bürgerkrieges inklusive ausländischer militärischen Intervention. Dies kann nur durch einen langfristig angelegten Demokratisierungsprozess und nur durch die Bevölkerung Libyens selbst erfolgreich bewältigt werden.

description: With the exception of astroglia-like cells in the neurogenic niches of the telencephalic subependymal or hippocampal subgranular zone, astroglia in all other regions of the adult mouse brain do not normally generate neurons. Previous studies have shown, however, that early postnatal cortical astroglia in culture can be reprogrammed to adopt a neuronal fate after forced expression of Pax6, a transcription factor (TF) required for proper neuronal specification during embryonic corticogenesis. Here we show that also the proneural genes neurogenin-2 and Mash1 (mammalian achaete schute homolog 1) possess the ability to reprogram astroglial cells from early postnatal cerebral cortex. By means of time-lapse imaging of green fluorescent astroglia, we provide direct evidence that it is indeed cells with astroglial characteristics that give rise to neurons. Using patch-clamp recordings in culture, we show that astroglia-derived neurons acquire active conductances and are capable of firing action potentials, thus displaying hallmarks of true neurons. However, independent of the TF used for reprogramming, astroglia-derived neurons appear to mature more slowly compared with embryonic-born neurons and fail to generate a functional presynaptic output within the culturing period. However, when cocultured with embryonic cortical neurons, astroglia-derived neurons receive synaptic input, demonstrating that they are competent of establishing a functional postsynaptic compartment. Our data demonstrate that single TFs are capable of inducing a remarkable functional reprogramming of astroglia toward a truly neuronal identity.

description: This dissertation proposes to introduce a new excuse into international criminal law for persons who lack normal moral perception in accordance with international standards and who have impaired practical reasoning, if they developed these defect through no fault of their own. The main ground for the excuse is that by lacking normal moral perception in accordance with international standards, these persons are deprived of the fair opportunity to choose to obey the law. I identify adult soldiers who were recruited at a young age into extreme armed groups and for whom it is reasonable to expect would develop emotional disturbances in response to their experiences as child soldiers in those groups, and who, did in fact develop such disturbances, which distorts their adult moral judgment and impairs their practical reasoning.
title: Die posthume Heldenverehrung von Jagdfliegern und die Kontroverse am Beispiel von Walter Nowotny
Creators: name: Haas, Oliver
Year: 2013

description: Walter Nowotny war der berühmteste und erfolgreichste Jagdflieger Österreichs und wurde Jahrzehnte lang als sogenannter „Held“ gesehen. Diese Arbeit hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, den Begriff des Heldentums zu definieren und dessen Wandel im Kontext der gesellschaftlichen und politischen Entwicklung zu erläutern. Als zeitgeschichtlich interessiert, wählte ich daher dieses Thema, von welchem während einer öffentlichen politischen Auseinandersetzung im Jahr 2003, die Öffentlichkeit wieder mehr Notiz nehmen konnte. Des Weiteren soll die Geschichte der deutschen Luftfahrt und ihre Modernisierung und Technisierung im Krieg veranschaulicht werden. Sogenannte Helden des Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieges werden kurz biographisch erwähnt. Schwerpunkt der Arbeit ist schließlich die Person Walter Nowotny, Aushängeschild der NS-Propaganda, der eine steile Karriere vorzuweisen hatte und dessen Tod mit 24 Jahren im November 1944, ihn im Dritten Reich zu einem Mythos werden ließ. Der Leser soll über das Leben sowie Schlüsselereignisse im Leben Walter Nowotnys sowie die Umstände seines Todes erfahren. Der Autor knüpft sogleich an die jahrzehntelange Diskussion, in der die Frage aufgeworfen wird, ob es gerechtfertigt ist, dieses Bild im Österreich der Nachkriegszeit, in Form eines Ehrengrabes auf dem Wiener Zentralfriedhof, aufrechtzuerhalten oder nicht. Das letzte Kapitel befasst sich schließlich mit der Frage nach ähnlichen Fällen von möglicherweise zu Unrecht gewidmeten Ehrengräbern an umstrittene Persönlichkeiten und versucht hier auch zu zeigen, wie schwierig es sein kann, gesamtgesellschaftliche Maßstäbe zu setzen. Hier werden auch Beispiele aus der jüngsten Vergangenheit genannt. Insgesamt soll der Leser auch dazu ermutigt werden, zu hinterfragen ob es vereinbar ist, der Jugend große Persönlichkeiten der Geschichte als beispielgebende Idealgestalten zu präsentieren und sie gleichzeitig zu einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit anzuregen. Der Leser soll sich auch damit befassen, ob Menschen und insbesondere Jugendliche überhaupt Helden brauchen und welche Folgen es haben kann, sollten sie diese möglicherweise in der Vergangenheit suchen. Denn gerade hier liegt die Gefahr dass die Wirklichkeit entschwindet und der Mythos triumphiert.

description: This dissertation proposes to introduce a new excuse into international criminal law for persons who lack normal moral perception in accordance with international standards and who have impaired practical reasoning, if they developed these defect through no fault of their own. The main ground for the excuse is that by lacking normal moral perception in accordance with international standards, these persons are deprived of the fair opportunity to choose to obey the law. I identify adult soldiers who were recruited at a young age into extreme armed groups and for whom it is reasonable to expect would develop emotional disturbances in response to their experiences as child soldiers in those groups, and who, did in fact develop such disturbances, which distorts their adult moral judgment and impairs their practical reasoning.

description: The precedence effect describes the phenomenon whereby echoes are spatially fused to the location of an initial sound by selectively suppressing the directional information of lagging sounds (echo suppression). Echo suppression is a prerequisite for faithful sound localization in natural environments but can break down depending on the behavioral context. To date, the neural mechanisms that suppress echo directional information without suppressing the perception of echoes themselves are not understood. We performed in vivo recordings in Mongolian gerbils of neurons of the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL), a GABAergic brainstem nucleus that targets the auditory midbrain, and show that these DNLL neurons exhibit inhibition that persists tens of milliseconds beyond the stimulus offset, so-called persistent inhibition (PI). Using in vitro recordings, we demonstrate that PI stems from GABAergic projections from the opposite DNLL. Furthermore, these recordings show that PI is attributable to intrinsic features of this GABAergic innervation. Implementation of these physiological findings into a neuronal model of the auditory brainstem demonstrates that, on a circuit level, PI creates an enhancement of responsiveness to lagging sounds in auditory midbrain cells. Moreover, the model revealed that such response enhancement is a sufficient cue for an ideal observer to identify echoes and to exhibit echo suppression, which agrees closely with the percepts of human subjects.

description: The workshop focused on evaluating and comparing automated tools designed for assessing compliance with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. Participants explored how these tools - F-UJI, FAIR Enough, and FAIR Checker - apply different methodologies to analyze metadata and assess datasets' FAIRness. The workshop used pre-generated outputs from datasets across various repositories, emphasizing biomedical contexts, displayed through a dashboard.

The workshop provided broad application of FAIR assessments for monitoring and improvement purposes. Through guided discussions and comparations, participants critically assessed the strengths, limitations, and nuances of these tools, recognizing their role as starting points rather than definitive measures.

Key outcomes of the workshop included:

Understanding the scope and utility of FAIR tools: Discussions highlighted the value of these tools in guiding repositories toward better metadata practices, but also acknowledging their current limitations.

Challenges and opportunities: Insights emerged on the variable interpretability of FAIR scores, differences across domains, and the potential risks of over-reliance on automated metrics.

Future directions: Participants discussed strategies to enhance these tools, improve FAIRness monitoring, and raise awareness about their intended purposes and limitations.

description: Usual sequential testing procedures often are very sensitive against even small deviations from the `ideal model' underlying the hypotheses. This makes robust procedures highly desirable. To rely on a clearly defined optimality criterion, we incorporate robustness aspects directly into the formulation of the hypotheses considering the problem of sequentially testing between two interval probabilities (imprecise probabilities). We derive the basic form of the Kiefer-Weiss optimal testing procedure and show how it can be calculated by an easy-to-handle optimization problem. These results are based on the reinterpretation of our testing problem as the task to test between nonparametric composite hypotheses, which allows to adopt the framework of Pavlov (1991). From this we obtain a general result applicable to any interval probability field on a finite sample space, making the approach powerful far beyond robustness considerations, for instance for applications in artificial intelligence dealing with imprecise expert knowledge.

Subjects: subject: Bayes factors, link function, GLM, model selection, reference prior
subject: 510

description: One important component of model selection using generalized linear models (GLM) is the choice of a link function. Approximate Bayes factors are used to assess the improvement in fit over a GLM with canonical link when a parametric link family is used. For this approximate Bayes factors are calculated using the approximations given in Raftery (1996), together with a reference set of prior distributions. This methodology can also be used to differentiate between different parametric link families, as well as allowing one to jointly select the link family and the independent variables. This involves comparing nonnested models. This is illustrated using parametric link families studied in Czado (1997) for two data sets involving binomial responses.

description: Human joint action is inherently cooperative, manifested in the collaborative efforts of participants to minimize communicative trouble through interactive repair. Although interactive repair requires sophisticated cognitive abilities, it can be dissected into basic building blocks shared with non-human animal species. A review of the primate literature shows that interactionally contingent signal sequences are at least common among species of non-human great apes, suggesting a gradual evolution of repair. To pioneer a cross-species assessment of repair this paper aims at (i) identifying necessary precursors of human interactive repair; (ii) proposing a coding framework for its comparative study in humans and non-human species and (iii) using this framework to analyse examples of interactions of humans (adults/children) and non-human great apes. We hope this paper will serve as a primer for cross-species comparisons on dealing with communicative breakdowns.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Revisiting the human ‘interaction engine’: comparative approaches to social action coordination’.
