Information and American Attitudes Toward Bureaucracy
Creators: name: Alvarez, R. Michael
name: Brehm, John
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996

description: The exploration of American attitudes towards the Internal Revenue Service joins an unusual pair of research domains: public opinion and public administration. Public administration scholars contend that the hostility Americans show towards "bureaucracy" stems from the contradictory expectations Americans have for bureaucratic performance. Drawing upon a survey commissioned by the IRS and conducted in 1987 just after the passage of the Tax Reform Act, we explore attitudes towards the performance of the IRS in eight categories. Using a new heteroskedastic ordinal logit technique, we demonstrate (1) that it is overwhelmingly a single expectation of flexibility that governs attitudes towards the IRS; (2) that these expectations are not in contradiction; and (3) that domain-specific information sharply focuses respondent attitudes towards bureaucracy.

Labor Supply of New York City Cab Drivers: One Day at a Time
Creators: name: Camerer, Colin F.
name: Babcock, Linda
name: Loewenstein, George
name: Thaler, Richard H.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996

description: Life-cycle models of labor supply predict a positive relationship between hours supplied and transitory changes in wages because such changes have virtually no effect on life-cycle wealth. Previous attempts to test this hypothesis empirically with time-series data have not been supportive; estimated elasticities are typically negative or nonsignificant. Such analyses, however, are vulnerable to measurement error and other estimation problems. We use data on daily observations of wages and hours for New York City cab drivers to estimate the supply response to transitory fluctuations in wages. Cab drivers decide daily how many hours to supply, and face wages that are positively correlated within days, but largely uncorrelated between days. Using these data, our central finding is that wage elasticities are persistently negative–from -.5 to -1 in three different samples–even after correcting for measurement error using instrumental variables. These negative wage elasticities challenge the notion that cab drivers trade off labor and leisure at different points in time and question the empirical adequacy of life-cycle formulations of labor supply.

When Politics and Models Collide: Estimating Models of Multi-Party Elections
Creators: name: Alvarez, R. Michael
name: Nagler, Jonathan
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996
Subjects: Binomials, Political parties, Spatial models, Economic models, Simulations, Voting, Modeling, Parametric models, Conservatism

description: Theory: The spatial model of elections can better be represented by using conditional logit than by multinomial logit. The spatial model, and random utility models in general, suffer from a failure to adequately consider the substitutability of candidates sharing similar or identical issue positions.
Hypotheses: Multinomial logit is not much better than successive applications of binomial logit. Conditional logit allows for considering more interesting political questions than does multinomial logit. The spatial model may not correspond to voter decision-making in multiple-candidate settings. Multinomial probit allows for a relaxation of the IIA condition and this should improve estimates of the effect of adding or removing parties.
Methods: Comparisons of binomial logit, multinomial logit, conditional logit, and multinomial probit on simulated data and survey data from a three-party election.
Results: Multinomial logit offers almost no benefits over binomial logit. Conditional logit is capable of examining movements by parties, whereas multinomial logit is not. Multinomial probit performs better than conditional logit when considering the effects of altering the set of choices available to voters.

Martingale Restrictions on Equilibrium Prices of Arrow-Debreu Securities Under Rational Expectations and Consistent Beliefs
Creators: name: Bossaerts, Peter
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996
Subjects: Arrow-Debreu Securities, Rational Expectations Equilibrium, Bayesian Equilibrium, Consistent Beliefs, Market Efficiency, Learning, Martingales, Reverse Time, Survivorship Bias.

description: Consider the Rational Expectations price history of an Arrow-Debreu security that matures in the money: p1; p2; …; pr. Past information can be used to predict the return pt+1 - pt) = pt. Now consider a simple alternative performance measure: (pt+1 - pt)=pt+1. It differs from the return only in that the future price is used as basis. This variable cannot be forecasted from past information. The result obtains even if investors' beliefs are biased, i.e., prices are not set in a Rational Expectations Equilibrium (REE). It depends only on investors' using the rules of conditional probability to process information. More precisely, the result continues to hold in the Bayesian Equilibrium with Consistent Beliefs (CBE) introduced by Harsanyi [1967]. Many related results are proved in this paper and extensions to the pricing of equity subject to bankruptcy risk are discussed.

Laboratory Experimental Testbeds: Application to the PCS Auction
Creators: name: Plott, Charles R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996

description: The use of laboratory experimental methods in economics has been growing rapidly. With each application, new insights are gained about how the methodology can be used to supplement the more traditional forms of research. Such was the case with the development of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) policy for the auction of licenses for Personal Communication Systems (PCS). At several different stages the laboratory experimental methods of economics were used. The application differed at each of these stages, representing the different types of relationships that can exist among theory, observation, and policy. This paper is a brief account of the applications.

Barriers to Effective Treatment for Overweight or Obese Pediatric Patients: A Needs Assessment Centered in Self-Care
Creators: name: Belfer, Kara
Publisher: name: Midwestern University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 520302
subject: Clinical psychology

description:  
     Obesity affects 14 million youth across the United States, across all ages, sexes, racial identities, and socioeconomic statuses, classifying it as a public health crisis (CDC, 2021c). Obesity in childhood is linked to adult obesity, as well as its associated comorbid physical and mental health conditions, influencing participation in weight management efforts (WHO, 2021; Calugi & Dalle Grave, 2020). It is known that pediatric obesity is driven by many interrelated factors (biological, psychological, and environmental), but treatment has been ineffective, as evidenced by increasing prevalence rates costing the healthcare system 14.1 billion dollars annually (Merrill et al., 2021; Xu & Xue, 2016). The gold standard for pediatric obesity treatment is lifestyle changes, which focus on decreasing sedentary behaviors and food consumption, although a lack of long-term efficacy is seen 1-year post-treatment (Singhai et al., 2021; Staiano et al., 2017). It is hypothesized that this is due to minimal emphasis on mental health or psychological factors. Therefore, this study explored the barriers to effective pediatric obesity treatment within the broader context of self-care to explore the connection between weight, self-care, quality of life, and mental health. Results suggest that self-esteem is a significant predictor of difficulties receiving and utilizing treatment. Psychological symptoms, HRQoL, self-care, and stigma were all identified as barriers to effective treatment, as well. Future pediatric obesity initiatives should, therefore, ensure more holistic treatment practices that extend beyond pre-existing care. This includes moving beyond traditional behavioral treatments to focus on the psychosocial aspects of treatment and incorporating family skill-building, school-based interventions, and parental empowerment practices (Golfenshtein et al., 2016; Kiser et al., 2010).
Interim Efficiency in a Public Goods Problem
Creators: name: Ledyard, John O.
name: Palfrey, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1997
Subjects: public goods, mechanism design, referendum, interim efficiency, incentive compatibility, private values

description: We consider a Bayesian public goods environment with independent private valuations, where a public good can be produced at constant returns to scale, up to some capacity. We fully characterize the interim efficient allocation rules and prove that they correspond to decision rules based on a virtual cost-benefit criterion, together with the appropriate incentive taxes. Compared to the classical Lindahl-Samuelson solution there are generally distortions that depend on the welfare weights because the efficient way to reduce the tax burden on low-valuation (resp: high-valuation) types is to reduce (resp: increase) the level of provision of the public good. Second, we explore the implementation of efficient allocations by means of simple, dominant strategy voting rules, called referenda. In a referendum, individuals vote for or against production of the public good. If a sufficiently large fraction vote in favor, the good is provided at maximum capacity and costs are distributed equally across the population. Otherwise the good is not produced. We prove that for each interim efficient allocation rule there exists a referendum that approximates that achieves the same total surplus in large populations. Furthermore, if there is common value uncertainty in addition to the private valuations uncertainty, then the approximately optimal referendum is unique.

A Statistical Theory of Equilibrium in Games
Creators: name: McKelvey, Richard D.
name: Palfrey, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996
Subjects: Game Theory, Statistical Methods

description: This paper describes a statistical model of equilibrium behavior in games, which we call Quanta! Response Equilibrium (QRE). The key feature of the equilibrium is that individuals do not always play best responses to the strategies of their opponents, but play better strategies with higher probability than worse strategies. We illustrate several different applications of this approach, and establish a number of theoretical properties of this equilibrium concept. We also demonstrate an equivalence between this equilibrium notion and Bayesian games derived from games of complete information with perturbed payoffs.

description: Numerous plant species are expanding their native ranges due to anthropogenic environmental change. Because cytotypes of polyploid complexes often show similar morphologies, there may be unnoticed range expansions (i.e. cryptic invasions) of one cytotype into regions where only the other cytotype is native. We critically revised herbarium specimens of diploid and tetraploid Centaurea stoebe, collected across Europe between 1790 and 2023. Based on their distribution in natural and relict habitats and phylogeographic data, we estimated the native ranges of both cytotypes. Diploids are native across their entire European range, whereas tetraploids are native only to South-Eastern Europe and have recently expanded their range toward Central Europe. The proportion of tetraploids has exponentially increased over time in their expanded but not in their native range. This cryptic invasion predominantly occurred in ruderal habitats and enlarged the climatic niche of tetraploids toward a more oceanic climate. We conclude that spatio-temporally explicit assessments of range shifts, habitat preferences and niche evolution can improve our understanding of cryptic invasions. We also emphasize the value of herbarium specimens for accurate estimation of species´ native ranges, with fundamental implications for the design of research studies and the assessment of biodiversity trends.

A Liapunov Function for Nash Equilibria
Creators: name: McKelvey, Richard D.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1998

description: In this paper, I construct a Liapunov function for Nash equilibria for finite n–person games in normal form. This function is useful for computation of Nash equilibria, since it converts the problem into a standard minimization problem. It provides an alternative to existing computational methods, which are based either on n - person extensions of the algorithm of Lemke and Howson [1961] (eg., Wilson [1971] and Rosenmiiller [1971]), or on methods for finding the fixed point of the best response correspondence, such as simplicial division algorithms (eg., Todd [1976], and Van der Laan et al. [1987]). This work is also related to that of Brown and von Neumann [1950], and Rosen [1964], who construct differential equation systems for solving certain classes of games.

The initial functions of the MOI were threefold: news and press censorship; home publicity; and oversees publicity in Allied and neutral countries”. This collection contains Press Notices and Bulletins published by the MOI between 1939-1945. The Press Notices and Bulletins are among many publications and films issued by the agency during the war.

description: In present study Wedelolactone (WL) was identified from successive extracts of whole plant Eclipta prostrate (L.) L. using HPTLC, optimised extraction/isolation method and confirmed WL structure.Extraction, isolation andidentification was performed though cold-percolation method, column chromatography and TLC respectively.WL was found abundantly in ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts at UV254 & 366 nm, respectively at RF0.42 by using toluene:ethyl acetate: formic acid (6:3.5:0.5, v/v/v). In the Method IV got a pure pale green crystals (0.138 g, % yield of 0.23) was adopted. Isolated compound verified by TLC and the structure confirmed by various spectroscopic tools. The study proposed high efficiency extraction-isolation method for WL, which could enhance the efficacy for identification of E. prostrate, studying such coumestan in extracts and herbal formulations. Study potentially aiding in developing advance anti-cancer and hepatoprotectivedosages and quality control.
Rational Price Discovery In Experimental And Field Data

Subjects: Price Discovery, Rational Expectations, Martingales, Nonstationarity, Nonergodic Central Limit Theorems, Event Studies, Experimental Economics.

description: The methodology of tests for martingale properties in return series is analyzed. Martingale results obtain frequently in finance. One case is focused on here, namely, rational price discovery. Price discovery is the process by which a market moves towards a new equilibrium after a major event. It is rational if price changes cannot be predicted from commonly available information. The price discovery process, however, cannot be assumed stationary. Hence, to avoid false inference in the presence of nonstationarities, event studies of field data have been advocating the use of cross-sectional information in the computation of test statistics. Under the martingale hypothesis, however, this inference strategy is shown to add little except if higher moments of the return series do not exist. On the contrary, the cross-sectional approach may even be invalid if there is cross-sectional heterogeneity in the price discovery process. The time series statistic of Patell (1976], originally suggested in the context of i.i.d. time series but cross-sectional heterosceclasticity, may be preferable. It will not provide valid inference either, if higher serial correlation coincides with higher volatility. Unfortunately, this appears to be the case in the dataset which is used in the paper to illustrate the methodological issues, namely, transaction price changes from experiments on continuous double auctions with stochastic private valuations.

Merging of Forecasts in Markov Models
Creators: name: Lee, Ho W.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996

description: Blackwell and Dubins (1962) and Kalai and Lehrer (1994) showed that absolute continuity is necessary and sufficient for merging of opinions. This paper suggests the concept of merging of forecasts which is a modification of merging of opinions in Markov models where the underlying state of nature may change over time.
We define the merging of forecasts as the conditional probabilities of the future state given the past observations of signals drawn conditional on the state get close to each other for different agents; it allows for the event that agents agree on the future evolution of the states even if they have not agreed in the distant past. For an ergodic Markov chain, any forecasts merge. In particular, we can dispense with the absolute continuity for merging of forecasts.

description: This paper offers a model of three-party elections which allows voters to combine retrospective economic evaluations with considerations of the positions of the parties in the issue-space as well as the issue-preferences of the voters. We describe a model of British elections which allows voters to consider simultaneously all three parties, rather than limiting voters to choices among pairs of parties as is usually done. Using this model we show that both policy issues and the state of the national economy matter in British elections. We also show how voters framed their decisions. Voters first made a retrospective evaluation of the Conservative party based on economic performance; and those voters that rejected the Conservative party chose between Labour and Alliance based on issue positions. Through simulations of the effects of issues—we move the parties in the issue space and re-estimate vote-shares—and the economy—we hypothesize an alternative distribution of views of t h e economy for voters—we show that Labour has virtually no chance to win with the Alliance as a viable alternative. Even if the Alliance (or the Liberal Democrats) disappears. Labour will need to significantly moderate its policy positions to have a chance of competing with the Conservative party. We argue that the methodological technique we employ multinomial probit, is a superior mechanism for studying three-party elections as it allows for a richer formulation of politics than do competing methods.
