description: We introduce a new model for evaluating privacy that builds on the criteria proposed by the EuroPriSe certification scheme by adding usability criteria. Our model is visually represented through a cube, called Usable Privacy Cube (or UP Cube), where each of its three axes of variability captures, respectively: rights of the data subjects, privacy principles, and usable privacy criteria. We slightly reorganize the criteria of EuroPriSe to fit with the UP Cube model, i.e., we show how EuroPriSe can be viewed as a combination of only rights and principles, forming the two axes at the basis of our UP Cube. In this way we also want to bring out two perspectives on privacy: that of the data subjects and, respectively, that of the controllers/processors. We define usable privacy criteria based on usability goals that we have extracted from the whole text of the General Data Protection Regulation. The criteria are designed to produce measurements of the level of usability with which the goals are reached. Precisely, we measure effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction, considering both the objective and the perceived usability outcomes, producing measures of accuracy and completeness, of resource utilization (e.g., time, effort, financial), and measures resulting from satisfaction scales. In the long run, the UP Cube is meant to be the model behind a new certification methodology capable of evaluating the usability of privacy, to the benefit of common users. For industries, considering also the usability of privacy would allow for greater business differentiation, beyond GDPR compliance.

The Tolman Surface Brightness Test for the Reality of the Expansion. IV. A Measurement of the Tolman Signal and the Luminosity Evolution of Early-Type Galaxies

description: We review a sample of the early literature in which the reality of the expansion is discussed, explain Hubble's reticence to accept the expansion as real, and contrast the Tolman surface brightness test with three other modern tests. We search for the Tolman surface brightness depression with redshift using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data from Paper III for 34 early-type galaxies from the three clusters Cl 1324+3011 (z=0.76), Cl 1604+4304 (z=0.90), and Cl 1604+4321 (z=0.92). Depressions of the surface brightness relative to the zero-redshift fiducial lines in the mean surface brightness, log linear radius diagrams of Paper I are found for all three clusters. Expressed as the exponent, n, in 2.5 log (1 + z)^n mag, the value of n for all three clusters is n = 2.59 +/- 0.17 in the R band and 3.37 +/- 0.13 in the I band for a q_o = 1/2 model. The sensitivity of the result to the assumed value of q_o is shown to be less than 23% between q_o = 0 and +1. For a true Tolman signal with n = 4, the luminosity evolution in the look-back time, expressed as the exponent in 2.5 log (1+z)^(4-n) mag, must then be between 1.72 to 1.19 in the R band and 0.94 to 0.45 in the I band. We show that this is precisely the range expected from the evolutionary models of Bruzual & Charlot. We conclude that the Tolman surface brightness test is consistent with the reality of the expansion. We have also used the high-redshift HST data to test the ``tired light'' speculation for a non-expansion model for the redshift. The HST data rule out the ``tired light'' model at a significance level of better than 10 sigma.

description: We compare Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) and the Linear Sigma Model (LSM) as realizations of low energy QCD for light mesons in a chirally imbalanced medium. The relations between the low-energy constants of the Chiral Lagrangian and the corresponding constants of the Linear Sigma Model are established as well as the expressions for the decay constant of the $π$-meson in the medium and the mass of the $a_0$. In the large $N_c$ count taken from QCD the correspondence of ChPT and LSM is remarkably good and give a solid ground for search of chiral imbalance manifestation in pion physics. A possible experimental detection of chiral imbalance tracks (and therefore a phase with Local Parity Breaking) in the charged pion decays inside the fireball is outlined.

description: Today’s consumers often perceive an additional benefit associated with responsible business practices and sustainability of purchased products. Regarding wood products, environmental quality has in the earlier studies been found to be a part of the total product quality. However, there is still lack of knowledge on the consumers’ attitudes towards socially and environmentally responsible supplier characteristics. Therefore we address in this paper what kind of perceptions do consumers hold for their wood product suppliers particularly with regard to environmental and social responsibility. Our data is collected during 2004-2007 as exit data from home retail centers selling building materials and our respondents (n=227) were Finnish adult consumers. Perceived supplier characteristics associated were found to be linked with both domestic origin of wood and domestic company ownership. Based on this there seems to be some scope for developing wood products marketing based on these issues.

description: Hadrons produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions can suppress the production of J/psi and other charmonium states by charmonium spontaneous dissociation as the hot hadronic environment alters the interaction between the charm quark and charm antiquark. Furthermore, hadrons can thermalize a charmonium to excite it to higher charmonium states which subsequently dissociate spontaneously. They can also collide with a charmonium to lead to its prompt dissociation into an open charm pair.

title: Analysis of Isogeometric Non-Symmetric FEM-BEM Couplings for the Simulation of Electromechanical Energy Converters
Creators: name: Elasmi, Mehdi
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: The main contribution of this thesis consists in providing a rigorous analysis of non-symmetric isogeometric couplings of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the direct Boundary Element Method (BEM) for some model problems that are relevant for the simulation of electromechanical energy converters. The corresponding (electro)magnetic subsystem of such a multi-physics problem can be modeled by the eddy-current approximation of Maxwell’s equations. We study this type of models in both the static and quasistationary case, which we formulate in terms of the magnetic vector potential in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) Lipschitz domains with a general topology. We associate FEM with bounded domains that may be filled with non-linear materials, whereas BEM is applied for bounded and unbounded domains that contain linear materials, i.e., for which a fundamental solution is available. Our analysis is based on the framework of strongly monotone and Lipschitz continuous operators, which also incorporates the required physical properties of the considered non-linear materials. To establish well-posedness and stability of the continuous settings, we use either implicit stabilization (in two dimensions) or a formulation in appropriate quotient spaces (in three dimensions) depending on the specific model. Moreover, we show the quasi-optimality of the method with respect to a conforming Galerkin discretization. For the concrete discretization, we consider an isogeometric framework, in particular, we employ conforming B-Spline spaces for the approximation of the solution, and Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) for geometric modelling. This approach facilitates h- and p-refinements, and avoids the introduction of geometrical errors. In this setting, we derive a priori estimates, and discuss the possible improvement of the convergence rates (super-convergence) of the method, when the pointwise error in func- tionals of the solution (more precisely its Cauchy data) is evaluated in the BEM domain. This improvement may double the usual convergence rates under certain circumstances. The theoretical findings are confirmed through several numerical examples. To validate our approach for the complete electromechanical system, we couple the (electro)magnetic and the mechanical subsystems weakly, and compute the needed forces and/or torques by using the Maxwell Stress Tensor (MST) method. For the sake of illustration, time derivatives are discretized by means of a classical implicit Euler scheme. The results of numerical experiments are in agreement with the expectations and the reference solutions.

description: Coastal communities are especially vulnerable to the impacts of a range of natural disasters. The reported frequency of natural disasters has risen dramatically in the past 100 years, with coastal zones particularly exposed to tsunamis, cyclones, and flooding. Managing the change in coastal dynamics and securing the livelihoods of those affected as responses to these disasters, are important issues for governments and international agencies worldwide. This paper discusses the important role that agriculture can play in the transition from immediate emergency aid to long-term recovery following natural disasters. The focus of this discussion is on the recovery following the 26 December 2004 earthquake and tsunami in the province of Aceh, Indonesia. Collaborative work such as monitoring agricultural soils and establishing experimental and extension activities to restore agriculture to tsunami-affected sites and supporting the long-term recovery of farming communities undertaken in Aceh from 2005 to 2009 is discussed. Recommendations for future agricultural recovery programs are outlined. The importance of agriculture to livelihoods in Aceh is mirrored in other populous nations of the world, many of whom farm extensively along coastal areas. Agriculture should be regarded as an integral part of any post-disaster recovery program.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Exciton-polaritons are the fundamental excitations arising from the strong coupling of quantum well excitons and cavity photons in semiconductor microcavities. They are compound bosons for which stimulated scattering and macroscopic occupation of single quantum states can occur at sufficiently high densities. One way of creating such polariton condensates is with nonresonant optical pumping. Doing so creates a large density of free- carriers and excitons that strongly interact and blueshift the polariton energy levels. Using spatially patterned nonresonant fields, the polariton potential landscape can be tailored and optically trapped condensates can be created. This thesis shows that the spin properties of polariton condensates are strongly modified by such trapping. Under linearly polarised pumping, helicity can spontaneously develop at a critical occupation, breaking the parity symmetry. This formation of spin-up/spin-down condensates is explained within a Gross-Pitaevskii model which accurately reproduces the influence of electric fields and condensate density. Under elliptically polarised pumping, two phenomena are observed: the formation of condensates with the opposite handedness to the pump and hysteresis of both occupation and spin with respect to pump power. The spatial dependence of these effects highlights the limitations of commonly used models of polariton condensation. Finally, the suitability of patterned optical fields for the creation of polariton lattices is explored. For small chains of condensates, controllable coupling between adjacent spins is demonstrated, with the formation of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic domains. The extent of these domains is strongly affected by sample nonuniformity, fundamentally limiting the scalability of these lattices.

description: The present study is concerned with the measurement of total factor productivity growth (TFPG) using the non-parametric approach for seven major crops--aus, aman, boro, jute, wheat, rapeseed-mustard, and potato--in West Bengal, from 1980 to 2003. TFPG is decomposed into the components of technical change, efficiency change, and scale change. A second stage regression analysis highlights the favorable role of factors (i.e., public expenditure, credit, irrigation, regulated markets, and inequality reduction in the distribution of operational land holdings) in fostering TFPG.
Efficient acceleration and radiation in Poynting flux powered GRB outflows

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We investigate the effects of magnetic energy release by local magnetic dissipation processes in Poynting flux-powered GRBs. For typical GRB parameters (energy and baryon loading) the dissipation takes place mainly outside the photosphere, producing non-thermal radiation. This process converts the total burst energy into prompt radiation at an efficiency of 10-50%. At the same time the dissipation has the effect of accelerating the flow to a large Lorentz factor. For higher baryon loading, the dissipation takes place mostly inside the photosphere, the efficiency of conversion of magnetic energy into radiation is lower, and an X-ray flash results instead of a GRB. We demonstrate these effects with numerical one-dimensional steady relativistic MHD calculations.

description: Competing orders in condensed matter give rise to the emergence of fascinating, new phenomena. Here, we investigate the competition between superconductivity and charge density wave in the context of layered-metallic compounds, transition metal dichalcogenides, in which the superconducting state is usually suppressed by the charge density wave. We show, using real-space self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes calculations and momentum-space calculations involving density-functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory, that there is a surprising reappearance of superconductivity in the presence of non-magnetic disorder fluctuations, as observed in recent experiments.

description: Figurative Language (FL) seems ubiquitous in all social-media discussion forums and chats, posing extra challenges to sentiment analysis endeavors. Identification of FL schemas in short texts remains largely an unresolved issue in the broader field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), mainly due to their contradictory and metaphorical meaning content. The main FL expression forms are sarcasm, irony and metaphor. In the present paper we employ advanced Deep Learning (DL) methodologies to tackle the problem of identifying the aforementioned FL forms. Significantly extending our previous work [71], we propose a neural network methodology that builds on a recently proposed pre-trained transformer-based network architecture which, is further enhanced with the employment and devise of a recurrent convolutional neural network (RCNN). With this set-up, data preprocessing is kept in minimum. The performance of the devised hybrid neural architecture is tested on four benchmark datasets, and contrasted with other relevant state of the art methodologies and systems. Results demonstrate that the proposed methodology achieves state of the art performance under all benchmark datasets, outperforming, even by a large margin, all other methodologies and published studies.

description: This study explores crisis-adjustment strategies adopted by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia in coping with the 2008-2009 global economic crisis. For the purpose of the study, a field survey on export-oriented SMEs in the wood and rattan furniture industry was conducted. The furniture industry was chosen as it is among several industries in Indonesia severely affected by the crisis. From June 2008 to June 2009, export of Indonesian furniture declined significantly. The survey found that the highest-ranking adjustment measure taken by the majority of the respondents was seeking out new customers or markets. It also found that for those who made adjustments to their existing workforce, the most important form was reducing working time. Overall, it was found that uneducated and female workers were the most affected by the labor-adjustment measures.

description: Agricultural intensification is not as simple as the Boserupian process of agricultural change; rather it is a complex evolutionary process involving several interacting drivers. This article attempts to identify the gaps in the social, economic, and environmental effects of agricultural intensification in the mid-hills of Nepal by reviewing agricultural intensification, which emerged as a major subject of development discourse in livelihood improvement and environmental degradation in Nepal. Intensification of agriculture has provided improved economy, food security, employment opportunities, decision making, labor division, local institutions, and leaderships. However, with the aim of increasing production, the intensification process has almost overlooked essential environmental factors -- soil acidification, fertility decline, and greenhouse gas emissions have been accelerated. A path towards sustainable intensification would be possible through improvements in agricultural extension programs such as integrated pest management (IPM) and farmers’ field schools. Indeed, good institutional systems make sustainable agricultural intensification economically feasible. Thus, such measures will probably encourage farmers and likely ensure economically- and environmentally-sound production, with the promise of sustainable agricultural intensification.

description: ABSTRACT

Background: According to the history of the judiciary's role in protecting human rights and development can be traced back to various significant events and cases that have shaped the legal landscape of many countries. The judiciary system refers to the legal and court system that is responsible for the administration of justice in a country.

Objective/ Purpose of the research study: The main purpose of this study the Somali judiciary's role in protecting human rights and promoting development.

Finding: The table showed that the majority gender of the respondents male were 30 (60%) of the total respondents. The table showed that the majority of marital status respondents single were 32 respondents and their percentage was 44.8% of the total percentage. The table showed that the majority ages of the respondents between 20-29 years were 20 (40%) of the total respondents. The table showed that the majority of years of experience respondents less than 1 year were 18 respondents and their percentage was .36% of the total percentage. The table showed that the majority educational level of the others of the respondents 17 and their percentage was 34% of the total percentage.

Conclusion: One of the vital ways to keep human rights safe is by preserving the prevailing role of the judiciary. Standards developed by the judiciary have a significant beneficial effect of making the lives of people better and the accomplishment of the government's goals easier. In addition, these standards may ensure a better understanding of the relationship between the people and their government, on the one hand, and among the members of the international community, on the other.

Recommendation: Currently in Somaliland there is no check and balance on the corrupt practices of justice actors. There is no systematic monitoring undertaken or any watchdog organization, such as a strong law society or other civil society group, to hold actors to account. In addition, there is a passive acceptance of the situation by members of society and no active demand for change.

description: We want to study long-time behaviour of solutions $f_t$ of kinetic Fokker-Planck equation in $\mathbb{R}^d$, namely their convergence towards equilibrium $f_\infty$ in the form \[ \textrm{d}(f_t,f_\infty)\leq C_1 e^{-C_2 t}\textrm{d}(f_0,\mu) \] for appropriate distances $\textit{d}$ and constants $C_1 \geq 1$, $C_2>0$. In Section 1 we provide an introduction and motivation for the equation, together with the setting of {Villani, Hypocoercivity} which will be useful in Section 2. In Section 2 we will review the monograph {Villani, Hypocoercivity}, where such convergence is proved, for $h=f/\mu$, in $H^1 (\mu)$ and $H_\mu +I_\mu$, that is, the sum of relative entropy and Fisher information. Here results are stated in terms of general operators $\partial_t +A^*A+B=0$, and commutation conditions on $A$ and $B$ are to be imposed. In Section 3 we shall take into consideration the work by Monmarch\'{e} {Monmarche, Generalized Γ calculus} in which such convergence is established by rephrasing some concepts in term of $\Gamma$-calculus: with respect to {Villani, Hypocoercivity} there is no need for regularization along the semigroup since the functional taken into account is a modified $H+I$ that at initial time only takes entropy into account, and the argument turns out to be shorter. Also, the convergence rate is $e^{-Ct(1-e^{-t})^2}$ instead of $C_1 e^{-C_2 t}$. However it turns out, as in {Villani, Hypocoercivity}, that for this case it is strictly needed to have a pointwise bound on $D^2 U$, where $U$ is the confinement potential. A drawback of this method with respect to {Villani, Hypocoercivity} is that, in a more general setting than kinetic Fokker-Planck equation, stronger commutation assumptions are required, which imply that the diffusion matrix is basically required to be constant. On this work a specific analysis was carried out, simplifying the proof for our Fokker-Planck case and finding explicit and improved expressions for convergence constants. The same author in {Monmarche, chaos kinetic particles}, which is the subject of Section 4, addresses a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation with a potential that generalizes $U$ and the related particle system. Chaos propagation in $W_2$, the $2$-Wasserstein distance, is proved, namely $W_2(f_t^{(1,N)},f_t)\leq CN^{-\epsilon}$. This leads to both Wasserstein and $L^1$ hypocoercivity, however dependence of the right hand side from the initial data is not linear as wished.

description: We consider a sample of 22 nearby clusters of galaxies observed with the Medium Energy Concentrator Spectrometer (MECS) on board of BeppoSAX. They cover the range in gas temperature between 3 and 10 keV, with bolometric X-ray luminosity between 2e44 erg/s and 6e45 erg/s. Using the de-projected gas temperature and density profiles resolved in a number of bins between 5 and 7 and obtained from this dataset only, we recover the total gravitating mass profiles for 20 objects just applying the (i) spherical symmetry and (ii) hydrostatic equilibrium assumptions. We investigate the correlations between total mass, gas temperature, luminosity at several overdensities values and find that the slopes of these relations are independent from the considered overdensity and consistent with what is predicted from the cluster scaling laws. The best-fit results on the normalization of the M-T relation are slightly lower, but still consistent considering the large errors that we measure, with hydrodynamical simulations. A segregation between relaxed and non-relaxed systems is present in each plane of these relations pointing out to a significant component in their intrinsic scatter. This segregation becomes more evident at higher overdensities and when physical quantities, like M_gas and L, that are direct function of the amount of gas observed, are considered.

description: We extend the multi-angle computational framework and investigate the time evolution of the neutrino halo on collective neutrino oscillation in the core collapse of an iron core progenitor. We find that in the case of the $9.6\, \rm M_\odot$ progenitor adopted in this work, there are windows of time when the effects of neutrino halo and collective neutrino oscillation are not simultaneously large. Inside the shock, the impact of the inward-scattered halo neutrino cannot in general be neglected compared to the outward-propagating neutrino flux. However, during early epochs, collective neutrino oscillation is effectively shut down by multi-angle matter suppression. During the intermediate epoch, collective neutrino oscillation is not suppressed, but its onset radius is beyond the still relatively small explosion shock front where the halo is prominent. We also find in the case of the $9.6\, \rm M_\odot$ progenitor the halo neutrinos induce a delay in the onset of collective neutrino oscillations. This causes novel flavor conversions which sharpen collective neutrino oscillation spectral features. We predict that the inclusion of neutrino halo effects makes neutrino signals that are more clearly distinct from thermal emission that when halo neutrinos are omitted.

description: The quantization of Hall conductance in a p-type heterojunction with lateral surface quantum dot superlattice is investigated. The topological properties of the four-component hole wavefunction are studied both in r- and k-spaces. New method of calculation of the Hall conductance in a 2D hole gas described by the Luttinger Hamiltonian and affected by lateral periodic potential is proposed, based on the investigation of four-component wavefunction singularities in k-space. The deviations from the quantization rules for Hofstadter "butterfly" for electrons are found, and the explanation of this effect is proposed. For the case of strong periodic potential the mixing of magnetic subbands is taken into account, and the exchange of the Chern numbers between magnetic subands is discussed.

description: Lifelong Learning is the development of human potential through a continuously supportive process which stimulates individuals to acquire knowledge and skills throughout their lifetimes (Dewey, 1910; Leicester & Field, 2000). It is significant both for the individual and the society in the 21st century, especially for China. Inspired by the Lisbon Key Competences (Cziboly, 2010) and Capability Approach, the author defined five core capabilities for lifelong learning related to this educational research: language capability, learning capability, creative capability, aesthetic and cultural capabilities, and social and civic capabilities. Drama in educational settings is the focus on the educational function to define drama as a teaching and learning method (DfES, 2003). It incorporates elements of an actor’s training to facilitate students’ physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. Drama used as a pedagogy in education is seen as a valuable tool for learning in many aspects related to language learning and lifelong learning (Cziboly, 2010). However, influenced by culture and history, drama pedagogy is less well developed in China compared to the West, in terms of both theory and practice. In this research, the author conducted a case study using drama pedagogy to design a drama program through “College Chinese” teaching in the Communication University of China. The two main research questions were 1) to explore the relationship between drama pedagogy and lifelong learning and 2) to discover the positive and negative effects of using drama pedagogy in the Chinese context. For the second question, the author used the concept of “localisation”, which is the process of adapting a product or content to a specific locale or market. Although it is a term that is more often used in business and economics, the author used it in this research because it is closely related to the idea of adapting a teaching strategy from one distinct cultural area (e.g. the West) to another (e.g. China). This research contributes to the theory of the relationship between drama pedagogy and lifelong learning. It also has implications for the localisation of liberal pedagogy in indigenous contexts and the future educational reform in China.

description: Hybrid finite elements with self-equilibrated assumed stresses have proven to provide several advantages for analysing shell structures. They guarantee high performance when using coarse meshes and accurately represent the stress field. Additionally, they do not require assumptions about the displacement field within the element domain, and the integration is efficiently performed only along their contours. This work exploits those advantages to develop a solid-shell finite element for the geometrically nonlinear static analysis of composite laminated structures. In particular, an eight-node finite element, which has 24 displacement variables and 18 stress parameters, is developed. The displacement field is described only by translations, eliminating the need for complex finite rotation treatments in large displacement problems. A Total Lagrangian formulation is used with the Green-Lagrange strain tensor and the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor. Thickness locking is cured using an assumed natural strain formulation for the transversal normal stress, and the assumed stress field eliminates shear locking. Then, for the analysis of linear-elastic problems, no domain integration is needed, and all the element operators are obtained by line integrals. The resulting formulation is efficient and allows for easy implementation. Computed numerical results show the accuracy and robustness of the presented element when used for both the linear elastic static and geometrically nonlinear elastic static analysis of composite laminated shell structures.

description: This dissertation reports a series of studies on social influences in decision making with wide ranging marketing implications in areas such as gamification initiatives, participative pricing mechanisms, and charity fundraising strategies. The body of this work comprises of three indepth, stand-alone studies. The first study, “Contagion of the Competitive Spirit: The Influence of a Competition on Non-Competitors”, investigates the influence of a competition on noncompetitors who do not participate in it but are aware of it. In a series of experimental studies, the study shows that the mere awareness of a competition can affect a non-competitor’s performance in similar tasks. These experiments provide confirmatory and process evidence for this contagion effect, showing that it is driven by heightened social comparison motivation due to mere awareness of the competition. In addition, the study finds evidence that the reward level for the competitors could moderate the contagion effect on the non-competitors. The second study, “The Negative Effects of Precommitment on Reciprocal Behaviour: Evidence from a Series of Voluntary Payment Experiments”, examines the effects of precommitment on reciprocal behaviour towards a forthcoming benefit. Through a series of experiments in several countries, the study shows that precommitment often weakens reciprocal behaviour. In two field experiments, a laboratory and an online experiment, the study finds consistent evidence that voluntary payment amounts decrease for individuals who are asked to precommit their payment. The results from a final online trust-game experiment support the posited mental-accounting mechanism for the effect. The third study, “Hold-Up Induced by Demand for Fairness: Theory and Experimental Evidence”, explores the domain of hold-up and fairness concerns. While recent research suggests that fairness concerns could mitigate hold-up problems, this study proposes a starkly opposite possibility: that fairness concerns can also induce hold-up problems and thus significant inefficiencies. The study reports theoretical analysis and experimental evidence of hold-up in scenarios in which it will not occur if agents are purely self-interested, but could occur if they care about fairness at ex post negotiation.
