Measurements. Total body: ♂ 20.0‒23.0, ♀ 18.0‒20.0; forceps: ♂ 10.0‒12.0, ♀6.0‒7.0.
Material. 1♂, Wuyanling, Taishun, Zhejiang, China, 1987. VIII.27, collected by Liu Xian-Wei et al.; 1♂, 2♀♀, Rensaping, Fengyang Mountain, Longquan, Zhejiang, China, elev. 1100‒1500m, 2008. VII.30‒VIII.4, collected by Liu Xian-Wei et al ..
Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Guangxi), Vietnam.
Discussion. This species was described by Burr, 1917 in the genus Kosmetor. Steinmann (1989) transferred it to the genus Pterygida. The first antennal joint is flat above with sides forming a kind of ridge, and therefore it should belong to the genus Cordax. Eutimomena paradoxa Bey-Bienko, 1970 was synonymized with Cordax armatus (Haan, 1842) by Srivastava (1987), but on the basis of its original description it appears to be identical to C. claviger. Therefore, we propose E. paradoxa as a junior subjective synonym of C. claviger.

description: The recent experimental results of Plott and Sunder (1982) and Friedman, Harrison and Salmon (1983) on the ability of single commodity markets to "reveal" the underlying state to initially uninformed traders were potentially influenced by a design in which the set of informed traders was held constant throughout the life of the market. Hence the performance of uninformed traders in the market might have been predicated on their knowledge of, and the observed behavior of, the informed traders. The experiment discussed below is a replication of one market in Plott and Sunder (1982), with the added feature that the traders who were to be informed of the state differed from period to period. The results are equivalent to those of Plott and Sunder (1982) in the price dynamics, while less conclusive regarding the acquisition and use of the state-price correspondence by uninformed traders.

L'idéal de solidarité et de "socialité" porté par le titre de ce secteur, vise à l'unifier notamment en le distinguant de "l'économie économique", de l'économie ordinaire, au fond capitaliste. Ce papier a pour objectif d'interroger cette distinction, par une réflexion tant sur le secteur concerné que sur les entreprises ordinaires. L'analyse qui en résulte tentera de montrer que ce secteur est somme toute caractérisé par des traits très voisins de celui dont il essaie de se démarquer, mais aussi que cette démarcation même est l'un des ressorts de l'efficacité managériale du mythe de la spécificité de ce secteur.

Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Taiwan, Guizhou, Guangxi).
Discussion. This species is very similar to C. armatus. The first antennal joint is flat above with sides forming a kind of ridge, and therefore it belongs to Cordax. Cordax unidentatus appears to be widely distributed in China. It shows great variation in the shape of male forceps. The descriptions of T. inermis from Guizhou and T. cuneatus from Guizhou only differ from C. unidentatus in minute differences that fall well within the variational limits of the latter; therefore, both are considered synonyms of C. unidentatus.

Profitable Speculation and Linear Excess Demand
Creators: name: Lien, Da-Hsiang Donald
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1984

description: Since Friedman maintained that profitable speculation necessarily stabilizes prices, there had been many debates. Farrell concluded these debates by showing that (i) for a two-period model, any continuous negatively sloped non-speculative excess demand function would validate Friedman's conjecture if there is no lag structure, and (ii) for a T-period model with T≥3, negatively sloped linear non-speculative excess demand is necessary and sufficient for Friedman's conjecture to be true if there is no lag structure. Later, Schimmler generalized Farrell's results to lag-responsive nonspeculative excess demand cases.
However, there are some problems in Farell's and Schimmler's approaches which invalidate their proofs. In this paper, we will point out these problems and show that after correcting these slips, Farrell's two results are in fact correct. Also, we will redo Schimmler's problem for time-independent non-speculative excess demand functions. The conclusions derived are (i) for two-period models, any continuously differentiable non-speculative excess demand f(P_t,P_(t-1)) with f_1 (P_t,P_(t-1) )<0,f_2 (P_t,P_(t-1) )≤0 [where f_(t-s+1) (P_t,P_(t-1) )=∂f(P_t,P_(t-1) )/〖∂P〗_s  , s=t-1, t] will validate Friedman's conjecture; (ii) for T-period models (T≥3), within the class of twice-continuously differentiable functions, linear non-speculative excess demand functions f(P_t,P_(t-1),⋯P_(t-T+1)) satisfying f_1<0,f_2=f_3=⋯= f_(t-T+1)=0 represent necessary and sufficient conditions for Friedman's conjecture to be true.

A Model of Tax Compliance Under Budget-Constrained Auditors
Creators: name: Graetz, Michael J.
name: Reinganum, Jennifer F.
name: Wilde, Louis L.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1984

description: In the midst of various taxpayer "revolts" and federal budget deficits of unprecedented magnitude, noncompliance with federal and state income tax laws has become an issue of significant policy concern. If the IRS' budget is limited, the probability that any individual taxpayer will be audited depends on the behavior of other taxpayers. Thus the problem of compliance involves a "congestion" effect, which generates strategic interaction among taxpayers as well as between taxpayers and the IRS. This paper reflects an initial attempt to explore how the combination of a strategic IRS and asymmetric information affects the traditional theoretical results on tax compliance behavior.

description: A review of two recent books on the history of voting participation in America displays some of the conceptual and methodological advances as well as some of the frailties which are characteristic of the "new political history." After summarizing the explanations which Bumbarn and Kleppner offer for the collapse of northern white turnout in the early part of the twentieth century, its partial revival during the 1930s, and its decline since 1960, I evaluate the theories and methods they use in order to determine how well-founded their conclusions are. Adopting a rational choice-inspired standpoint rather than their sociological approaches suggests interpretations of the early twentieth century and 1960-1980 changes which are somewhat at variance with theirs.

(Figs. 24‒29)
Description. Male size medium, body slender. Head smooth, swollen. Eyes prominent, nearly as long as genae in length, sutures indistinct. Antennae long and slender, 11 joints, first joint decidedly longer than the distance between the antennal bases, above flat, with distinct lateral ridges; third and fourth joints almost equal, but shorter than fifth. Pronotum smooth, almost as broad as long, anterior and hind margins rounded, lateral margins parallel, prozona slightly tumid, median sulcus distinct, with paired depressions on both sides, metazona flat. Elytra and wings completely developed. Elytra smooth, about twice as long as pronotum, external margins without ridge, anterior margins truncate. Scales of wings slightly shorter than pronotum. Legs short, anterior femora thick, hind tarsus with first joint almost equal to third joint, second joint strongly enlarged. Abdomen smooth, with very indistinct, sparse punctations, stink-glands feeble but distinct, seventh to ninth segments each with a weak tubercle, last dorsal segment transverse and parallel, half as broad as long, above with paired of slightly raised tubercles over the roots of the forceps (Fig. 24). Subgenital plate transverse, with broadly rounded posterior margin and some punctations (Fig. 25). Pygidium not tranverse, with short stumpy tubercles. Forceps widely separated at base, narrowed to the apex and incurved, internal margins serrated in basal half (Fig. 26).Genitalia (Figs. 27) with parameres as type, basal vesitcle with two narrow sclerotized plates and one of them armed with denticulations, virga small.
Female similar to male, but subgenital plate broader (Fig. 28), forceps slender, simple, nearly touching at base, incurved at the apex, internal margins crenulate (Fig. 29).
Coloration. Generally pale yellowish brown, nearly unicolorous.
Measurements. Total body: ♂ 15.0, ♀ 15.0; forceps: ♂ 4.0, ♀ 6.0.
Material. Holotype ♂, Longhushan, Longan, Guangxi, China, 1995. VIII.1, collected by Liu Xian-Wei et al.; paratype 1♀, Fengyang Mountain, Longquan, Zhejiang, China, elev. 1100‒1500m, 2008. VII.30‒VIII.4, collected by Liu Xian-Wei & Bi Wen-Xuan.
Distribution. China (Guangxi, Zhejiang).
Discussion. This new species is very similar to C. inermis (Borelli, 1915), but differs in that the forceps of the male are shorter and strongly curved, and the internal margins are serrated in the basal one-third.

On the Existence of Cournot Equilibrium

Subjects: Cost functions, Economic theory, Marginal revenue, Market equilibrium, Demand, Existence theorems, Average cost, Marginal costs, Nonexistence, Nash equilibrium

description: This paper examines the existence of n-firm Cournot equilibrium in a market for a single homogeneous commodity. It proves that if each firm's marginal revenue declines as the aggregate output of other firms increases (which is implied by concave inverse demand) then a Cournot equilibrium exists, without assuming that firms have nondecreasing marginal cost or identical technologies. Also, if the marginal revenue condition fails at a "potential optimal point," there is a set of firms such that no Cournot equilibrium exists. The paper also contains an example of nonexistence with two nonidentical firms, each with constant returns to scale production.

Litigation of Settlement Demands Questioned by Bayesian Defendants
Creators: name: Salant, Stephen W.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1984

description: This paper analyzes a stylized model of pretrial settlement negotiations in a personal-injury case. It is assumed that the prospective plaintiff knows the severity of his injury but that the prospective defendant has incomplete information. As a result of this information asymmetry a proportion of slightly-injured plaintiffs are tempted to inflate their settlement demands and a proportion of such demands are rejected by suspicious defendants. By analogy with other models of adverse selection (e. g., Rothschild-Stiglitz (1976)), the presence of slightly-injured plaintiffs imposes a negative externality on plaintiffs with genuine severe injuries since defendant s cannot identify the severely-injured and sometimes reject their reasonable demands, forcing them into costly litigation. A filing fee imposed on minor claims is shown to displace the equilibrium but, paradoxically, to cause an increase in the frequency of litigation.
This model differs from recent contributions to the literature on pretrial negotiations under incomplete information. Unlike P'ng (1983) and Bebchuk (1983), the uninformed litigant in this model learns from the observed equilibrium behavior of the informed litigant. Unlike Ordover-Rubinstein (1983) and Salant-Rest (1982), settlement demands are endogenous.
description: This paper extends the analysis in Salant and Rest (1982) by relaxing its restriction that plaintiffs must make one of two exogenous settlement demands. I would like to thank Gregory Rest for his collaboration in the earlier research effort. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to Jonathan Cave for his many helpful suggestions.

Year: 1989

description: The optimal design of a beam under harmonic excitations is formulated and solved numerically for linear and nonlinear forced vibration theories. The beam has a nonuniform cross-sect ion, whose thickness can change during the optimization procedure. Based on the numerical results, for the given input frequency range, the linear vibration theory produces a more conservative design than the nonlinear vibration theory.

The analytical formulation for both theories is presented. For the linear case, a mean case is defined for the self-weight on a beam, and an alternating case is defined for input forcing frequencies which cause fatigue variations on a beam. For the nonlinear vibration theory, the geometric nonlinearities are from the nonlinear strain-displacement relation induced by large deflections in the beam. The design sensitivity analyses are also presented for both theories.

Finally, an optimization routine using a predefined subroutine, LINRM, is used to define the optimal design for the beam satisfying the prescribed stress requirements. A comparative analysis between the two vibration theories is detailed in this study. Additionally, the modified Goodman theory is used as a stress constraint, and the results for this case are compared with the results obtained in the linear case.

On the Meaning of the Preponderance Test in Judicial Regulation of Chemical Hazard

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

Subjects: Minimization of cost, Plaintiffs, Defendants, Toxicity, Statutory interpretation, Financial liabilities, Economic costs, Court costs, Chemical hazards, Burden of proof standards

description: As usually defined, the preponderance test is a standard of proof which directs the jury to accept the plaintiff's version of the disputed facts if they are more probably true than not. But what happens when the most important disputed "facts" are judgments about probability? This paper offers an interpretation of the preponderance test which can be applied to this situation.
In the example of the paper, B is the benefit of a drug, C is the health cost if it is a teratogen, and p is the probability of teratogenicity. The contested "fact" is the magnitude of p, the probability of harm. In the interpretation considered by the paper, the jury finds in favor of the plaintiff if the jury decides that it is more likely than not that p is greater than B/C. This definition of the preponderance test does not quite minimize expected costs, and compared with expected cost minimization it is likely to be biased toward under-protection when the health costs are high compared with the benefits. But when the mean and median of the second order probability of p are the same, the definition coincides with expected cost minimization. It is also shown that under a criterion of expected cost minimization, contrary to Posner, judicial error costs are not in general the same and the number of erroneous judgments favoring undeserving plaintiffs is not likely to be the same as the number of erroneous judgments favoring undeserving defendants.

Agrarian Politics and Development
Creators: name: Bates, Robert H.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1984

description: Rural insurrections in Third World nations transformed the study of agrarian politics into a recognized subfield of political development. They also discredited prevailing development theories and while rendering development studies a subfield of political economy.
This essay reviews the major approaches to the study of agrarian politics. It emphasizes two major weaknesses: the assumption that development implies the demise of the rural sector and the inability of most "economic" approaches to incorporate institutional features of peasant societies, thereby creating a wasteful disjuncture between political economy and anthropology in the study of rural societies.
The collective choice approach, it is argued, rectifies these weaknesses and generates a fruitful agenda for new research into the political economy of Third World nations.

The Winner's Curse and Cost Estimation Bias in Pioneer Projects

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1984
Subjects: Cost Estimation Bias

description: Cost overruns are almost as massive and almost as pervasive on private "first of a kind" projects as on defense contracts. This paper examines the cost overrun problem in terms of the methodology of cost estimation, abstracting from moral hazard problems. The main results of the paper are these: first, if cost estimators are an unbiased estimation methodology, then under certain monotonicity conditions, this will produce an observed cost underestimation bias, because cost estimates are used as a guide to project decision making; second, the more uncertainty there is with respect to the costs of a project, the larger will be the observed cost underestimation bias, assuming the estimator uses an unbiased estimation methodology; third, in bottoms up estimation, the most accurate of cost estimation methodologies, there is a built in cost underestimation bias because the value of information is not incorporated into the cost estimate; fourth, the size of the underestimation bias in bottoms up estimation definitely-increases with uncertainty only under rather stringent conditions on the construction production function.

title: Building Trustworthy AI: Uncertainty Quantification and Failure Detection in Large Vision-Language Models
Creators: name: Ao, Shuang
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2025

description: Despite the impressive performance of AI systems in various fields, knowing when to trust their predictions is still difficult. In this thesis, we address the critical challenges of model calibration, failure detection and uncertainty quantification to enhance the reliability and trustworthiness of AI systems. Firstly, we investigate the problem of model miscalibration, where a model's confidence in its predictions doesn't align with its actual accuracy. We propose novel metrics and calibration techniques to tackle both overconfidence and under-confidence, enhancing the reliability of model predictions. This is particularly important in safety-critical tasks where under-confidence can lead to missed detection or alerts. Secondly, we delve into the issue of failure detection. We propose new evaluation metrics, including the Excess Area Under the Optimal Risk-Coverage curve (E-AUoptRC) and the Trust Index (TI), to better assess model trustworthiness and learning ability. These metrics provide a more nuanced understanding of model performance than traditional accuracy measures. Thirdly, we explore uncertainty quantification in natural language generation (NLG) tasks, particularly in the context of large language models (LLMs). We introduce Contrastive Semantic Similarity, a Contrastive Language–Image Pre-training (CLIP) based feature extraction module, to measure semantic similarity between text pairs and estimate uncertainty. This method improves the trustworthiness of LLM-generated responses by enabling selective NLG, where unreliable generations are detected and rejected.



Throughout the thesis, we conduct extensive experiments on different modalities of language and vision, with various benchmark datasets and different model architectures, demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposed methods in improving model calibration, failure detection, and uncertainty quantification. This research contributes to the development of more reliable and safe AI systems, particularly in safety-critical domains where the consequences of model errors can be severe.

Uncertainty and Shopping Behavior: An Experimental Analysis

description: This paper reports experimental tests of three search equilibrium models. These models which differ only in the search strategies available to the buyers have qualitatively different predictions, that is, equilibria: price distributions, single price equilibria at the competitive price and at the monopoly price and two price equilibria. The experimental outcomes generally were consistent with the models' predictions. This suggests that debate on the utility of this class of models should shift to the realism of the models' assumptions rather than focus on their ability to characterize market outcomes. Also, since the basic models have been validated, the project of analyzing experimentally the results of relaxing some of their assumptions seems worthwhile.

Obstruction, Germaneness and Representativeness in Legislatures
Creators: name: Krehbiel, Keith
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1984

description: Obstruction has often been regarded as an abhorrent feature of American legislatures, but few attempts have been made to specify the conditions under which it occurs or the precise nature and degree of its putative evil. This paper presents a theory of decentralized decision-making that specifies the necessary and sufficient conditions for sophisticated obstruction by committees. The assumptions of the theory are embedded in a simulation model which generates preferences and status quo points, identifies outcomes under competing behavioral assumptions, and estimates the representativeness of outcomes as a function of legislators' ideal points. The results call for rejection of the hypothesis that obstruction leads to unrepresentative outcomes. A discussion of the House's discharge petition examines the findings in a richer congressional context.

Bargaining Theory for Games with Transferable Value
Creators: name: Schofield, Norman
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1984

description: This paper presents an existence proof of a bargaining equilibrium set B*, in the case of games with transferable value, by making use of the Knaster Kuratowski Mazurkiewicz (KKM) Theorem. As a corollary proof of existence of the usual bargaining set B1 is obtained. Whereas previous proofs of B1 existence have made use of fixed point arguments, use of the KKM theorem provides an insight into possible extensions of the existence proof to the nontransferable value case.
