Diffusion on Social Networks
Creators: name: Jackson, Matthew O.
name: Yariv, Leeat
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2006
Subjects: Diffusion, social networks, tipping, technology adoption, coordination

description: We analyze a model of diffusion on social networks. Agents are connected according to an undirected graph (the network) and choose one of two actions (e.g., either to adopt a new behavior or technology or not to adopt it). The return to each of the actions depends on how many neighbors an agent has, which actions the agent's neighbors choose, and some agent-specific cost and benefit parameters. At the outset, a small portion of the population is randomly selected to adopt the behavior. We analyze whether the behavior spreads to a larger portion of the population. We show that there is a threshold where "tipping" occurs: if a large enough initial group is selected then the behavior grows and spreads to a significant portion of the population, while otherwise the behavior collapses so that no one in the population chooses to adopt the behavior. We characterize the tipping threshold and the eventual portion that adopts if the threshold is surpassed. We also show how the threshold and adoption rate depend on the network structure. Applications of the techniques introduced in this paper include marketing, epidemiology, technological transfers, and information transmission, among others.

Nomination Processes and Policy Outcomes
Creators: name: Jackson, Matthew O.
name: Mathevet, Laurent
name: Mattes, Kyle
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2006
Subjects: nominations, elections, primaries, party competition, spending competition

description: We model and compare three different processes by which political parties nominate candidates for a general election: nominations by party leaders, nominations by a vote of party members, and nominations by a spending competition among potential candidates. We show that in equilibrium, non-median outcomes can result when two parties compete using nominations via any of these processes. We also show that more extreme outcomes can emerge from spending competition than from nominations by votes or by party leaders. When voters (and potential nominees) are free to switch political parties, then median outcomes ensue when nominations are decided by a vote but not when nominations are decided by spending competition.

Subjects: Strategy-proofness, Bossiness, Non-constancy, Quasi-constancy, Symmetry.

description: We consider the problem of sharing a good, where agents prefer more to less. In this environment, we prove that a sharing rule satisfies strategy-proofness if and only if it has the quasi-constancy property: no one changes her own share by changing her announcements. Next, by constructing a system of linear equations, we provide a way to find all of the strategy-proof sharing rules, and identify a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a non-constant, strategy-proof sharing rule. Finally, we show that it is only the equal sharing rule that satisfies strategy-proofness and symmetry.

A Voting Model of Federal Standards with Externalities
Creators: name: Crémer, Jacques
name: Palfrey, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003

description: This paper proposes a framework for studying policy making in a federal system in the presence of spillover externalities. Local jurisdictions choose local policies by majority rule subject to standards that are set by majority rule at the federal level. We characterize the induced preferences of voters for federal policies, prove existence of local majority rule equilibrium, provide an example of nonexistence of global majority rule equilibrium, and explore the welfare properties of federal standards in the presence of spillovers.

Spatial Competition Between Two Candidates of Different Quality: The Effects of Candidate Ideology and Private Information

name: Palfrey, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003
Subjects: candidate quality
spatial competition

description: This paper examines competition in a spatial model of two-candidate elections, where one candidate enjoys a quality advantage over the other candidate. The candidates care about winning and also have policy preferences. There is two-dimensional private information. Candidate ideal points as well as their tradeoffs between policy preferences and winning are private information. The distribution of this two-dimensional type is common knowledge. The location of the median voter's ideal point is uncertain, with a distribution that is commonly known by both candidates.  Pure strategy equilibria always exist in this model. We characterize the effects of increased uncertainty about the median voter, the effect of candidate policy preferences, and the effects of changes in the distribution of private information. We prove that the distribution of candidate policies approaches the mixed equilibrium of Aragones and Palfrey (2002a), when both candidates' weights on policy preferences go to zero.

Electoral Competition with Privately-Informed Candidates
Creators: name: Bernhardt, Dan
name: Duggan, John
name: Squintani, Francesco
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003
Subjects: elections, median voter, polling, private information, probabilistic voting

description: We consider a model of elections in which two office-motivated candidates receive private signals about the location of the median voter's ideal point prior to taking policy positions. We show that at most one pure strategy equilibrium exists and provide a sharp characterization, if one exists: After receiving a signal, each candidate locates at the median of the distribution of the median voter's location, conditional on the other candidate receiving the same signal. It follows that a candidate's position, conditional on his/her signal, is a biased estimate of the true median, with candidate positions tending to the extremes of the policy space. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a pure strategy equilibrium. Essentially, the pure strategy equilibrium exists if for each signal, the other candidate is sufficiently likely to receive a signal in the same direction that is at least as extreme. Though the electoral game exhibits discontinuous payoffs for the candidates, we prove that mixed strategy equilibria exist generally, that equilibrium expected payoffs are continuous in the parameters of the model, and that mixed strategy equilibria are upper hemicontinuous. We investigate the robustness of the median voter theorem to private information: Pure strategy equilibria may fail to exist in models close to the Downsian model, but mixed strategy equilibria must, and they will be "close" to the Downsian equilibrium. Finally, we provide bounds on the support of mixed strategy equilibria and restrictions on possible atoms of equilibrium mixed strategies.

Enggano Island Rat
Rattus enganus
French: Rat d'Enggano / German: Enggano-Ratte / Spanish: Rata de Enggano
Other common names: Enggano Rat
Taxonomy. Mus enganus G. S. Miller, 1906,
“Engano Island [= Pulau Enggano],”
Indonesia
Placement of enganus in Rattus is unre-solved, but itis considered morphologically primitive for the genus. It is morphologi-cally similar to R.macleari and R. xanthurus and probably related to the two recently extinct species from Christmas Islands, R.macleari and R. nativitatis. There are no genetic studies involving R. enganus. Monotypic.
Distribution. Enggano I, off SW Sumatra.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 228 mm, tail 257 mm, ear 19 mm, hindfoot 46 mm (from type specimen, a male). No specific data are available for body weight. The Enggano Island Rat is an endemic and very distinct species of Rattus. Pelage is soft (almost silky), long, and covered in short grooved black spines. Dorsum is dull, pale ocherous buff, suffused with smoke gray on sides and cheeks and blending into ventral pelage rather than being sharply demarcated. Venter is pale smoke gray, with darker gray based fur. Feet are scantily covered in fine light gray hairs. Vibrissae are long and soft. Tail is ¢.113% of head-body length, unicolored dark brown, and covered in small hairs. Skull has long and wide rostrum.
Habitat. Probably forests habitats.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. The Enggano Island Rat is only known from a single specimen collected more than 100 years ago. It might be extinct; a survey in the 1980s did not record it. It is threatened by habitat loss and probably by competition with the Roof Rat (R. rattus).

Dynamic Urban Models: Agglomeration and Growth

Subjects: Agglomerative Activity, Marshallian Externalities, Matching, Urban Growth

description: Theoretical models of urban growth are surveyed in a common framework. Exogenous growth models, where growth in some capital stock as a function of investment is assumed, are examined first. Then endogenous growth models, where use of some factor by a firm increases the productivity of other firms, are studied. These are all models with perfect competition among agents. Next, models with imperfect competition are discussed. There are two varieties: those employing a monopolistic competition approach to product differentiation, and those employing explicit externalities but lacking some markets. Finally, avenues for future research are explored. Correlations between agglomeration and growth in the various models and data are compared.

Subjects: Monocentric City, Hedonic Models, No Arbitrage

description: We present two notions of "no arbitrage" in urban economic models and show that there is no model satisfying both. The standard hedonic housing model of urban economics and its generalizations are consistent with the first of these, but inconsistent with the second. We present a model consistent with the second notion of "no arbitrage" and a continuum of models consistent with neither notion that are observationally
equivalent to the standard model, even if the utility function of consumers is known. Only one of these is the standard model. Thus, the available tests of the standard model cannot provide much evidence of its validity. Finally, we examine nonlinear price systems consistent with the second notion of "no arbitrage" and their welfare consequences.

description: Strategy-proofness, requiring that truth-telling is a dominant strategy, is a standard concept used in social choice theory. Saijo, et al., (2003) argue that this concept has serious drawbacks. In particular, announcing one's true preference may not be a unique dominant strategy, and almost all strategy-proof mechanisms have a continuum of Nash equilibria. For only a subset of strategy-proof mechanisms do the set of Nash equilibria
and the set of dominant strategy equilibria coincide. For example, this double coincidence occurs in the Groves mechanism when preferences are single-peaked. We report experiments using two strategy-proof mechanisms where one of them has a large number of Nash equilibria, but the other has a unique Nash equilibrium. We found clear differences in the rate of dominant strategy play between the two.

description: We make two main contributions to the theory of optimal income taxation. First, assuming conditions sufficient for existence of a Pareto optimal income tax and public goods mechanism, we show that if agents' preferences satisfy an extended notion of single crossing called capacity constrained single crossing, then there exists a Pareto optimal income tax and public goods mechanism that
is budget balancing. Second, we show that, even without capacity constrained single crossing, existence of a budget balancing, Pareto optimal income tax and public goods mechanism is guaranteed if the set of agent types contains no atoms.

2000 Valettaster gr. ocellatus (Forbes); Jagt: 428, pl. 20, figs 25–28.
Type. The ossicle figured by Brunnich Nielsen (1943, pl. 4, fig. 37) is the holotype, from the upper Danian of Saltholm, Denmark (MMH collections, unregistered).
Diagnosis. Valettaster in which the abactinal ossicles bear scattered granules.
Material. Two abactinal ossicles from the lower Maastrichtian of Rugen, Germany (SNSB-PGSB 2020 XLV 1-2).
Occurrence. The species is known from the Maastrichtian of Germany and Belgium and the Danian of Denmark.
Remarks. It is unclear whether the Maastrichtian specimens from Rugen (Fig. 22H, K) and north-east Belgium (Jagt 2000, pl. 20, figs 25–28) should be referred to this species, described originally from the upper Danian of Denmark. The illustrations of Brunnich Nielsen and Wienberg Rasmussen are inadequate to get a good impression of the surface sculpture, which appears to consist of sparse, rounded granules standing clear of the surface. The late Campanian material figured by Jagt has dense, tiny granules, while the specimens from Rugen have widely spaced, small crater-rimmed rugosities. These may well both prove to be new species.

A Social Choice Lemma on Voting over Lotteries with Applications to a Class of Dynamic Games
Creators: name: Banks, Jeffrey S.

Year: 2003
Subjects: lotteries, dynamic games, representative voter, decisive voter

description: We prove a lemma characterizing majority preferences over lotteries on a subset of Euclidean space. Assuming voters have quadratic von Neumann-Morgenstern utility representations, and assuming existence of a majority undominated (or "core") point, the core voter is decisive: one lottery is majority-preferred to another if and only if this is the preference of the core voter. Several applications of this result to dynamic voting games are discussed.

1914 Valettaster ocellatus (Forbes); Valette: 60, fig. 20.
1985 Valettaster argus (Spencer); Breton: 91, fig. 6.
Type. An individual (not figured) from the Marsupites Zone of Brighton, southern England (NHMUK E 5109) is the holotype.
Diagnosis. Valettaster in which the abactinal ossicles possess small external faces and bear a reticulate sculpture.
Material. A well-preserved specimen from the coranguinum Zone of Micheldever, Hampshire (NHMUK E 20294) and a partly articulated specimen from the same zone at Thanet, Kent, provide many details of the ossicles and nature of the abactinal surface (NHMUK EE 17637).
Occurrence. Valettaster argus is present in the Turonian to Campanian Chalk of the United Kingdom.
Remarks. The new material provides information on the nature of the exterior surface of this species (Fig. 23H–K). The spaces between the large abactinal ossicles are packed with smaller, secondary ossicles of various sizes (Fig. 23H), creating a smooth surface made up of the exposed summits of the larger ossicles and the smaller plates (Fig. 23 I, J). There are spaces between the smaller ossicles, which might represent papular pores (Fig. 23J), or where secondary ossicles have fallen out. It is important to point out that the reconstruction of Breton (1985, fig. 4), which shows the surface of the asteroid with a thick dermis, containing numerous small ossicles, is incorrect.

The complete mitogenome of Rhaphidophora quadrispina was assembled into a circular-mapping form of 15892 bp in length (GenBank accession number: OL450400), which comprised 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region (D-loop). Among these mitochondrial genes, fourteen tRNA genes and nine protein coding genes were coded with the J-strand, while other genes were encoded by the N-strand. There were 15 intergenic spacer regions and 13 overlapping regions are observed in the mitogenome ranging from 1 bp to 30 bp and 1 to 23 bp (Table 1).
The overall base nucleotide composition of Rhaphidophora quadrispina mitogenome was determined to be 41.35% A, 34.18% T, 14.84% C, 9.62% G and revealed an obviously A/T (75.53%) bias (Table 2). Meanwhile, the control region had the highest A+T content (81.69%), while tRNAs were the lowest (51.34%) in the mitogenome. Except control region, AT-skew values were positive from 0.02 (PCGs-1st) to 0.48 (tRNAs) and GC-skew values were negative ranging from -0.56 (tRNAs) to -0.06 (PCGs -3rd), which indicated that the content of A and C nucleotides was more abundant than G and T.
Among 13 PCGs, the longest one was ND5 gene (1735 bp), whereas the shortest was ATP8 gene (159 bp). All protein-coding genes mainly started with the standard codons ATN, except for ND5 which started with GTG. Most genes were used TAA or TAG as complete stop codons. But the termination codons of ND5 and ND4 were a single T instead of completeness. For the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), the first five frequently used were UUA (Leu2), AUA (Met), GUU (Val), GUA (Val) and UCA (Ser2) (Fig. 19).
The lengths of tRNA genes ranging from 64 bp (trnaA and trnaH) to 72 bp (trnaV). Besides trnaS1, the other tRNA genes formed the typical cloverleaf structure (Fig. 20). The lengths of rrnL and rrnS were 1313 bp and 791 bp respectively.

Type. The partly articulated individual figured by Forbes (in Dixon 1850, pl. 21, fig. 13) is the holotype. ‘ Upper Chalk, Sussex and Kent’. The present whereabouts of this specimen are unknown.
Diagnosis. Abactinal ossicles with a broad flat outer surface that bears dense, irregularly radiating ridges and beads of imperforate stereom.
Material. A partly articulated individual from the coranguinum Zone of Micheldever, Hampshire (NHMUK E 5019) and a well-preserved specimen from the Marsupites Zone of Brighton, Sussex (NHMUK E 5012) are described. Additionally, isolated abactinal plates from the coranguinum Zone of Thanet, Kent are identified (NHMUK EE 17696–17697).
Occurrence. Valettaster ocellatus is present in the Cenomanian to Maastrichtian of the Anglo-Paris Basin (UK and France), and the Maastrichtian of Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.
Remarks. Valettaster ocellatus differs from V. argus in the broad external surface of the abactinal ossicles and the fine radial sculpture (Fig. 22E); in V. argus, the imperforate stereom forms an irregular reticulum (Fig. 22L). Specimens figured by Jagt (2000, pl. 20, figs 25–28) perhaps represent a form transitional to V. granulatus (see below). Breton (1985) reconstructed the surface of V. ocellatus as possessing a thick epidermis in which were set smaller secondary ossicles, decreasing in size progressively towards the outer surface (Breton 1985, fig. 4). The new material figured here demonstrates that the secondary ossicles were positioned in grooves between the external surfaces of the primary abactinals, and their sculptured external surfaces were flush with those of the primary ossicles.
