Year: 2006
Subjects: Diffusion, Social Networks, Tipping, Technology Adoption, Coordination.

description: We analyze games on social networks where agents select one of two actions (whether or not to adopt a new technology, withdraw money from the bank, become politically active, etc.). Agents' payoffs from each of the two actions depend on how many neighbors she has, the distribution of actions among her neighbors, and a possibly idiosyncratic cost for each of the actions. We analyze the diffusion of behavior when in each period agents choose a best response to last period's behavior. We characterize how the equilibrium points of such a process and their stability depend on the network architecture, the distribution of costs, and the payoff structure. We also illustrate how the dynamics of behavior depends on the number of neighbors that agents have. Our results have implications and applications to marketing, epidemiology, financial contagions, and technology adoption.

The Swing Voter's Curse in the Laboratory

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2006

description: This paper reports the first laboratory study of the swing voter's  curse  and  provides insights on the larger theoretical and empirical literature on "pivotal voter" models. Our experiment controls for different information levels of voters, as well as the size of the electorate, the distribution of preferences, and other theoretically relevant parameters. The design varies the share of partisan voters and the prior belief about a payoff relevant state of the world. Our results support the equilibrium predictions of the Feddersen-Pesendorfer model, and clearly reject the notion that voters in the laboratory use naive decision-theoretic strategies. The voters act as if they are aware of the swing voter's curse and adjust their behavior to compensate. While the compensation is not complete and there is some heterogeneity in individual behavior, we find that aggregate outcomes, such as efficiency, turnout, and margin of victory, closely track the theoretical predictions.

Assessing Greenwashing in Electric Vehicle Marketing: Developing a Coding Scheme through Advertising Strategy Analysis

Subjects: subject: Greenwashing
subject: Advertisement
subject: Electric vehicle industry
subject: Marketing
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: Despite the environmental advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) over traditional gasoline vehicles, their production and lifecycle impacts are significant and often omitted in marketing materials. This study develops a coding scheme to analyze video advertisements critically, assessing the gap between marketed environmental claims and the actual ecological impacts. By dissecting the content of EV video advertisements, this research categorizes the level for greenwashing present and compares advertising tactics with the environmental impact of a sample of vehicles. The methodology includes a detailed examination of visual and textual elements within these advertisements, such as the portrayal of nature, use of green color, and emission claims. We hypothesized that electric vehicle advertisements employ greenwashing tactics to a significant extent, creating a discrepancy between the marketed environmental benefits and the actual ecological impacts of the vehicles. While the analysis confirmed the presence of greenwashing in EV advertisements, its prevalence and impact on advertisement themes and format are not uniformly extensive or present across all brands. Sustainably ranked vehicles were more likely to employ green marketing tactics and highlight eco-friendly product dimensions within their advertisements than lower environmentally ranked vehicles. The degree of greenwashing varies between advertisements, with many manufacturers employing subtle or minimal greenwashing tactics, which suggests that while greenwashing is present, it is not universally aggressive or overt within the industry.

description: Adaptation measures in Africa against weather extremes using the example of the West African Sahel: The Sahel is considered one of the hotspots of climate change, although the region has hardly contributed to climate change. After the severe droughts towards the end of the 20th century, rainfall is increasing again, but global warming and further weather extremes continue to cause problems for agriculture in the Sahel now and in the future. In response, smallholder farmers have developed a variety of adaptation measures, from cultivation techniques for water storage and soil improvement to agroforestry measures, which proved largely successful. Recently, however, political crises have made the security situation in key Sahel states worse, making it difficult to predict how this development will continue.
Efficiency, Equity, and Timing of Voting Mechanisms

Year: 2006

description: We compare the behavior of voters under simultaneous and sequential voting rules when  voting is costly and information is incomplete. In many political institutions, ranging from small committees to mass elections, voting is sequential, which allows some voters to know the choices of earlier voters. For a stylized model, we generate a variety of predictions about the relative efficiency and participation equity of these two systems, which we test using controlled laboratory experiments. Most of the qualitative predictions are supported by the data, but there are significant departures from the predicted equilibrium strategies, in both the sequential and simultaneous voting games. We find a tradeoff between information aggregation, efficiency, and equity in sequential voting: a sequential voting rule aggregates information better than simultaneous voting and is more efficient in some information environments, but sequential voting is inequitable because early voters pay greater participation costs.

Minorities and Storable Votes

name: Palfrey, Thomas R.

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2006

description: The paper studies a simple voting system that has the potential to increase the power of minorities without sacrificing aggregate efficiency. Storable votes grant each voter a stock of votes to spend as desired over a series of binary decisions. By accumulating votes on issues that it deems most important, the minority can win occasionally. But because the majority typically can outvote it, the minority wins only if its strength of preference is high and the majority's strength of preference is low. The result is that with storable votes, aggregate efficiency either falls little or in fact rises. The theoretical predictions of our model are confirmed by a series of experiments: the frequency of minority victories, the relative payoff of the minority versus the majority, and the aggregate payoffs all match the theory.

Heterogeneous Quantal Response Equilibrium and Cognitive Hierarchies

Subjects: experimental economics, quantal response equilibrium, cognitive hierarchy, behavioral game theory

description: We explore an equilibrium model of games where players' choice behavior is given by logit response functions, but their payoff responsiveness is heterogeneous. We extend the definition of quantal response equilibrium to this setting, calling it heterogeneous quantal response equilibrium (HQRE), and prove existence under weak conditions. We generalize HQRE to allow for limited insight, in which players can only imagine others with low responsiveness. We identify a formal connection between this new equilibrium concept, called truncated quantal response equilibrium (TQRE), and the Cognitive Hierarchy (CH) model. We show that CH can be approximated arbitrarily closely by TQRE. We report a series of experiments comparing the performance of QRE, HQRE, TQRE and CH. A surprise is that the fi of the models are quite close across a variety of matrix and dominance-solvable asymmetric information betting games. The key link is that in the QRE approaches, strategies with higher expected payoffs are chosen more often than strategies with lower expected payoff. In CH this property is not built into the model, but generally holds true in the experimental data.

The Compromise Game: Two-sided Adverse Selection in the Laboratory

Subjects: two-sided private information, adverse selection, laboratory experiment, behavioral game theory, quantal response equilibrium, cognitive hierarchy, cursed equilibrium

description: We analyze a game of two-sided private information characterized by extreme adverse selection, and study a special case in the laboratory. Each player has a privately known "strength" and can decide to fight or compromise. If either chooses to fight, there is a conflict; the stronger player receives a high payoff and the weaker player receives a low payoff. If both choose to compromise, conflict is avoided and each receives an intermediate payoff. The only equilibrium in both the sequential and simultaneous versions of the game is for players to always fight, independent of their own strength. In our experiment, we observe among other things (i) frequent compromise, (ii) little evidence of learning, and (iii) different behavior between first, second and simultaneous movers. We explore several models in an attempt to understand the reasons underlying these anomalous choices, including quantal response equilibrium, cognitive hierarchy, and cursed equilibrium.

description: In this paper I study the strategic implications of coalition formation in an assembly. A coalition forms a voting bloc to coordinate the voting behavior of its members, acting as a single player and affecting the policy outcome. I prove that there exist stable endogenous voting bloc structures and in an assembly with two parties I show how the incentives to form a bloc depend on the types of the agents, the sizes of the parties, and the rules the blocs use to aggregate their preferences. I also provide an empirical application of the model to the US Supreme Court and I show that justices face a strategic incentive to coalesce into voting blocs.

Attack Politics: Who Goes Negative and Why?

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

Subjects: campaigns, elections, negative campaigning, valence politics

description: I introduce a formal model of campaign strategy to show when candidates will engage in negative campaigning and how it can affect election results. The model separates campaign strategies by target (self or opponent) and dimension (issue or character), and defines negative campaigning as attacking one's opponent on the character dimension. Whether candidates choose negative campaigning depends upon three factors: the preconceptions of the voter, the voter's preferred dimension, and the candidate types. I show that eliminating negative campaigning has an ambiguous effect on voter welfare. In some cases, eliminating the negative option can hurt superior candidates.

Contestable Leaderships: Party Discipline and Vote Buying in Legislatures
Creators: name: Iaryczower, Matias
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2006
Subjects: political parties, party discipline, leadership, vote buying, pork

description: This paper examines the institutional determinants of discipline in legislative parties building on the premise that leaders need to maintain support within the organization to continue leading. Payments distributed by the incumbent on the spot increase the value of promises of future benefits by fostering individuals' perceived chances that the incumbent will retain her position. The main result of the paper shows, in fact, that the party leader can use promises of future benefits to induce members to vote for a position disliked by the majority of the party only if she also distributes benefits on the spot.

(Figs 13I–O, Q–S, 22F, I)
Types. The holotype (Fig. 13Q) is a primary radial ossicle (NHMUK EE 17688) from the lower Bathonian, Zigzagiceras zigzag ammonite Zone of La Pouza, near La Voulte-sur-Rhone (Ard̀eche, France). A total of nine similar ossicles from the same locality are paratypes (NHMUK EE 17689–17695).
Diagnosis. As for the genus.
Additional material. Two ossicles from the serpentinus ammonite Zone (Toarcian) of Fougerolles, near Caen, France (MHNLM 20201.2 and 20201.3).
Derivation of name. Latin for pockmarked (pock = scar, notata = marked), in reference to the surface sculpture.
Description. The abactinal plates are variable in shape, and hexagonal to oval in outline. All possess a distinctive sculpture of irregular pitting, which has a weak radial alignment in some specimens (e.g. Fig. 13I, N, Q, R). The position of possible pr can be identified from comparison with that in other Sphaerasteridae (Fig. 13O, R). They are hexagonal and symmetical about the vertical axis, and the articular facet contacting the successive radial is broad. The external face is gently convex, and appears to be smooth in one specimen (Fig. 13O); however, under low-oblique lighting it displays radiating ridges around the margin of the plate. The ossicles are half as thick as broad, and each side has a well-defined rounded rectangular articular surface which bears a scatter of fine pits. A single poorly defined papular notch is present on each corner (Fig. 19D). Other abactinals with a similar sculpture include rather tall, narrow, hexagonal to lozenge-shaped plates (e.g. Figs 13J–N, 22F, I) which were probably unpaired and occupied an interradial position, and broad hexagonal plates (Fig. 13M) which might be distal radials.
Remarks. The distinctive sculpture of the plates, irregular pitting with a weak radial element towards the margins, distinguish this species from all others. Reconstruction is not possible without further material.

Interim Efficient Mechanism Design with Interdependent Valuations
Creators: name: Kucuksenel, Serkan
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2006
Subjects: mechanism design, incentive compatibility, interdependent valuations, incentive efficiency

description: We consider the class of Bayesian environments with one-dimensional private signals and interdependent valuations. For these environments, we fully characterize the set of interim efficient mechanisms which satisfy interim incentive compatibility and interim individual rationality constraints. In these mechanisms, the allocation rules assign probability one to an alternative that maximizes the sum of all agents' virtual valuations that are defined for these economic settings and transfer functions are defined depending on agents' welfare weights. This set of mechanisms is compelling since interim efficient mechanisms are the best in the sense that there is no other incentive compatible and individually rational mechanism that is preferred by each agent.

Burnished Enggano Rat
Rattus adustus
French: Rat basané / German: Indonesische Glattfellratte / Spanish: Rata de Enggano pulida
Other common names: Burnished Rat, Sunburnt Rat
Taxonomy. Rattus adustus Sody, 1940,
sea level, Kiojoh, off the coast of W Sumatra
(and offthe continental shelf), Pulau Enggano, Indonesia.
Phylogenetic position of Rattus adustus is uncertain, but itis probably related to R. lugens and R. simalurensis. It is only known from the type specimen. Monotypic.
Distribution. EngganoI, off SW Sumatra.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 180 mm, tail 148 mm, ear 22 mm, hindfoot 42 mm (from type specimen). Nospecific data are available for body weight. The Burnished Enggano Rat is medium-sized, with short and harsh pelage having many hard spines mixed throughout. Dorsum is very dark brown (hence the common name); venter is dark brownish gray. Ears are dark. Tail is black and 82% of head-body length. Skull is larger than in the EngganoIsland Rat (R. enganus). There are five pairs of mammae: two pectoral and three inguinal pairs.
Habitat. Probably forest 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 Burnished Enggano Rat is in critical need for research because it is only known from the type specimen collected in 1920 and virtually nothing is known ofits ecology. It (and the EngganoIsland Rat) could be extinct. It is probably threatened by habitat loss because Enggano’s forests have been almost completely destroyed and competition with the Roof Rat (R. rattus).

Sequencing Strategies in Large, Competitive, Ascending Price Automobile Auctions: An experimental examination
Creators: name: Grether, David M.
name: Plott, Charles R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2006
Subjects: experiments, auctions

description: This paper reports on a large scale field experiment testing strategies available to a seller participating in simultaneous competitive sequential, ascending price automobile auctions. Every other week, the seller offered approximately 120 vehicles for sale in an auction environment in which several competitive sellers offered on the order of 3,000 vehicles. The experiment tested various sequences in which the seller could offer the vehicles, such as high values first or low values first. Surprisingly, and contrary to intuition drawn from the theory of single item and single seller auctions, the worst performing sequence from those tested is for the seller to order vehicles from highest to lowest values. The best sequence is to group the vehicles by type and offer the low valued vehicles first and then move to offer the higher valued vehicles. Our conjecture is that this sequence reduces the competition with other sellers for the attention of specialized buyers.

What Matchings Can Be Stable? The Refutability of Matching Theory

Subjects: Stable Matchings, Gale-Shapley, Core, Refutability

description: When can a collection of matchings be stable, if preferences are unknown? This question lies behind the refutability of matching theory. A preference profile rationalizes a collection of matchings if the matchings are stable under the profile. Matching theory is refutable if there are observations of matchings that cannot be rationalized. I show that the theory is refutable, and provide a characterization of the matchings that can be rationalized.

Kinabalu Rat
Rattus baluensis
French: Rat du Kinabalu / German: Kinabalu-Ratte / Spanish: Rata de Kinabalu
Other common names: Summit Rat
Taxonomy. Mus baluensis Thomas, 1894,
“Mount Kina Balu, 8000 feet [= 2438 m].”
Rattus baluensis is in the R. rattus species group; it is most closely related to R. tio- manicus and has included R. korinchi as a subspecies. It may actually be the same species as R.tiomanicus based on a recent study that had a specimen of R. baluensisthat clustered with R. tiomanicus. Monotypic.
Distribution. Mt Kinabalu, N Borneo.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 158- 188 mm, tail 175-205 mm, hindfoot 30-35 mm; weight 108 g. The Kinabalu Rat is a medium-sized, with long, dense, and soft pelage. Dorsum is dark tawny, with long black guard hairs mixed throughout, and slightly lighter on sides. Hairs are gray-tipped with ocherous tawny bases. Venteris buffy gray in contrast to grayish white on the Sumatran Mountain Rat (R. korinchi), and it is not sharply demarcated from dorsum. Feet are brown, with darker brown stripe down each metatarsal and metacarpal; claws are sharp, recurved, and short. Ears are small, brown, and covered with short brown hair. Tail is ¢.110% of head— body length and unicolored brown, covered in dark brown hair. Skull has slightly more inflated nasolacrimal capsules than on the Sumatran Mountain Rat. There are five pairs of mammae: one pectoral, one post-axillary, two abdominal, and one inguinal.
Habitat. Montane and moss forests and subsummit dwarf forest and scrub at elevations of 1524-3810 m.
Food and Feeding. The Kinabalu Rat has been recorded licking inner surfaces of pitcher plants (Nepenthes rajah, Nepenthaceae) while defecating in them, indicating mutualistic symbiosis because pitcher plants feed on fecal matter.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. The Kinabalu Rat is probably mostly terrestrial and nocturnal.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Kinabalu Rat has a restricted distribution, butit is found in Mount Kinabalu National Park and is relatively common. There are no major threats currently known, and it is considered fairly adaptable.
