Consumer Inertia, the New Economy and EU Competition Law
Creators: name: Venegas, Vladimir Bastidas
Publisher: name: Market and Competition Law Review
Year: 2018

description: Services and goods in the new economy, such as social media platforms and applications, are often offered to end-consumers for “free”. This may cause problems for the application of traditional antitrust doctrines, such as tying or other forms of leveraging, which normally have been applied to products and services offered at a price. As illustrated by the Microsoft I decision (Windows Media Player), it is not self-evident that the bundling of an application with an operating system results in coercion, the pressure to consume the “tied” product, if consumers have a de facto possibility to download competing products for free. Moreover, the availability of competing products for free may also affect the long-term effects in the market, as both the existing customer base and new customers may easily shift their consumption, which decreases potential “lock-in” effects. This propensity and capability of customers to choose products or services other than the predefined “default” option, e.g. by being included in a bundle, was also relevant in the recent Google decision (Shopping), which concerned the company’s preferential placement of its own advertising messages in internet searches. In both Microsoft I and the Google decision, it was found that consumers were unable to choose products and services other than the default option, so-called consumer inertia. Consumer inertia has been explained both by the traditional law and economics literature and behavioural economics with switching costs, information costs and the status quo bias. Accordingly, this article explores the concept of consumer inertia in the light of the law and economics literature, in particular behavioural economics, to determine the factors which are relevant for establishing the presence of consumer inertia in individual antitrust cases concerning the new economy. Moreover, the article evaluates to what extent the use of consumer inertia in cases from the Union courts and the Commission is consistent with economic theory.

description: This remark is part of an ongoing project to simplify the structure of the multi-loop anomalous dimensions for parton distributions and fragmentation functions. It answers the call for a "structural explanation" of a "very suggestive" relation found by Moch, Vermaseren and Vogt in the context of the x->1 behaviour of three-loop DIS anomalous dimensions. It also highlights further structure that remains to be fully explained.

Four-dimensional de Sitter space is a Glauber-Sudarshan state in string theory

description: We show that four-dimensional de Sitter space is a Glauber-Sudarshan state, i.e. a coherent state, over a supersymmetric solitonic background in full string theory. We argue that such a state is only realized in the presence of temporally varying degrees of freedom and including quantum corrections, with supersymmetry being broken spontaneously. On the other hand, fluctuations over the resulting de Sitter space is governed by the Agarwal-Tara state, which is a graviton (and flux)-added coherent state. Once de Sitter space is realized as a coherent state, and not as a vacuum, its ability to remain out of the swampland as well as issues regarding its (meta)stability, vacuum energy, and finite entropy appear to have clear resolutions.

description: We study the adsorption of homogeneous or heterogeneous polymers onto heterogeneous planar surfaces with exponentially decaying site-site correlations, using a variational reference system approach. As a main result, we derive simple equations for the adsorption-desorption transition line. We show that the adsorption threshold is the same for systems with quenched and annealed disorder. The results are discussed with respect to their implications for the physics of molecular recognition.

description: This study used the flexible fixed cost quadratic function to analyze the cost structure of multi-product farms using farm-level panel data. The robustness of estimated parameters are examined using four panel data estimators. Results suggest that scale economies remain significant in Illinois farming. An increase in soybean acreage reduces the marginal cost of producing corn. Firm-specific effects, that indicate the levels of fixed costs, are found to be positive and significant.

description: Late-time BVRIJHK photometry of the peculiar Type Ic SN 2002ap, taken between 2002 June 12 and 2003 August 29 with the MAGNUM telescope, is presented. The light curve decline rate is derived in each band and the color evolution is studied through comparison with nebular spectra and with SN 1998bw. Using the photometry, the OIR bolometric light curve is built, extending from before light maximum to day 580 after explosion. The light curve has a late-time shape strikingly similar to that of the hypernova SN 1998bw. The decline rate changes from 0.018 mag/day between day 130 and 230 to 0.014 mag/day between day 270 and 580. To reproduce the late-time light curve, a dense core must be added to the 1-D hypernova model that best fits the early-time observations, bringing the ejecta mass from 2.5 Msun to 3 Msun without much change in the kinetic energy, which is 4 times 10^51 ergs. This is similar to the case of other hypernovae and suggests asymmetry. A large H-band bump developed in the spectral energy distribution after about day 300, probably caused by strong [Si I] 1.646 micron and 1.608 micron emissions. The near-infrared flux contribution increased simultaneously from <30% to >50% at day 580. The near-infrared light curves were compared with those of other Type Ib/c supernovae, among which SN 1983I seems similar to SN 2002ap both in the near-infrared and in the optical.

description: A suposição de que o rendimento escolar pode situar-se muito abaixo das potencialidades dos alunos tem vindo a tomar corpo (v.g., Benet et ai., 1990). De facto, considerando diferentes níveis de ensino, inclusive o universitário, não parece ser possível explicar os desempenhos na aprendizagem tendo apenas em conta factores de ordem intelectual. A necessidade de investigar outras variáveis, tanto cognitivas como motivacionais, para esclarecer as diferenças de realização entre os alunos é, hoje em dia, amplamente aceite (Fontaine, 1990).

description: The backward scattering of TM-polarized light by a two-side-open subwavelength slit in a metal film is analyzed. We show that the reflection coefficient versus wavelength possesses a Fabry-Perot-like dependence that is similar to the anomalous behavior of transmission reported in the study [Y. Takakura, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{86}, 5601 (2001)]. The open slit totally reflects the light at the near-to-resonance wavelengths. In addition, we show that the interference of incident and resonantly backward-scattered light produces in the near-field diffraction zone a spatially localized wave whose intensity is 10-10$^3$ times greater than the incident wave, but one order of magnitude smaller than the intra-cavity intensity. The amplitude and phase of the resonant wave at the slit entrance and exit are different from that of a Fabry-Perot cavity.

description: Controversy surrounding confined animal feeding operations (CAFO) is becoming more commonplace. In several regions of the country CAFOs and local residents have had disputes over odors emanating from these operations. Viewing the CAFO as jointly producing products with utility (e.g., meat) and disutility (e.g., foul odor), it is possible to determine an efficient level of production for both products that is market-based. The authors propose a hedonic price model based upon real-estate transactions adjacent to CAFOs to establish a market-based estimate of the degree and extent of odor disutility. Using the results of the hedonic model, the authors suggest that a simple model of odor dispersal can be used to address the issue of economies of scale and the production of the disutility odor. Specifically, the final outcome should reveal if there is more or less disutility produced with an industry that is intensively or extensively managed.
Adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of the human lipoprotein lipase gene
Creators: name: Ashbourne Excoffon, Katherine J. D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Lipoprotein lipase is a pivotal enzyme involved in the metabolism of circulating lipoproteins. Through the hydrolysis of the triglycerides (TG) in TG-rich particles, free fatty acids and glycerol are available for uptake by muscle, for energy, or adipose for storage. Patients with complete and partial LPL deficiency exhibit marked hypertriglyceridemia and altered lipoprotein metabolism. Gene therapy to deliver functional LPL to the circulation has been proposed in order to reduce the clinical morbidity and atherogenic risk due to this metabolic disorder. In vitro analysis of first generation recombinant adenoviral (Ad) vectors expressing the human LPL gene from an RSV promoter or a CMV promoter (Ad-LPL) revealed efficient infection and subsequent LPL expression in several cell lines. Delivery of Ad-LPL (RSV or CMV driven) to the liver of either normal mice or mice heterozygous for LPL deficiency results in an improved lipoprotein profile for at least 42 days and the correction of impaired fat load tolerance. Similarly, an Ad incorporating a common polymorphism that deletes the last two amino acids of LPL (Ser447Ter) results in an improved profile. Despite minimal hepatoxicity in these animals, the augmentation of LPL expression from natural sites, including muscle and adipose, was investigated using the CMV-driven Ad-LPL vector. After intra-adipose or intra-muscular Ad-LPL treatment via direct injection, expression within the adipose and muscle tissue compartments was significantly elevated until D14. Regardless of this over expression, no change in plasma LPL activity or TG levels was evident. Due to the neo-natal lethality associated with complete LPL deficiency in mice, a larger feline model of complete deficiency was explored. Complete correction in a cohort of homozygous LPL deficient cats was observed for 14 days before expression was extinguished, likely due to a vigorous immune response to both the adenovirus and the human LPL gene. In summary, the outcome effected by transferring the LPL gene to animal models, as well as somatic cells in tissue culture, have been defined for the first time. Evaluation of the systemic and tissue-specific efficiency, stability, potential toxicity and immunogenicty of adenoviral-mediated LPL gene expression has been delineated over the duration of these studies providing proof-of-principle towards LPL gene therapy. Although adenovirus is an efficient vector for gene delivery, future studies will evaluate alternative vector systems that display longer term expression and less immunogenicity, such as the adeno-associated virus.
Phase transition in a directed traffic flow network

description: The generic feature of traffic in a network of flowing electronic data packets is a phase transition from a stationary free-flow phase to a continuously growing congested non-stationary phase. In the most simple network of directed oriented square lattice we have been able to observe all crucial features of such flow systems having non-trivial critical behavior near the critical point of transition. The network here is in the shape of a square lattice and data packets are randomly posted with a rate $ρ$ at one side of the lattice. Each packet executes a directed diffusive motion towards the opposite boundary where it is delivered. Packets accumulated at a particular node form a queue and a maximum of $m$ such packets randomly jump out of this node at every time step to its neighbors on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. The phase transition occurs at $ρ_c=m$. The distribution of travel times through the system is found to have a log-normal behavior and the power-spectrum of the load time-series shows $1/f$ like noise similar to the scenario of Internet traffic.

Digital Economy, Big Data and Competition Law
Creators: name: Pfeiffer, Roberto Augusto Castellanos
Publisher: name: Market and Competition Law Review
Year: 2019

description: Big data has a very important role in the digital economy, because firms have accurate tools to collect, store, analyse, treat, monetise and disseminate voluminous amounts of data. Companies have been improving their revenues with information about the behaviour, preferences, needs, expectations, desires and evaluations of their consumers. In this sense, data could be considered as a productive input. The article focuses on the current discussion regarding the possible use of competition law and policy to address privacy concerns related to big data companies. The most traditional and powerful tool to deal with privacy concerns is personal data protection law. Notwithstanding, the article examines whether competition law should play an important role in data-driven markets where privacy is a key factor. The article suggests a new approach to the following antitrust concepts in cases related to big data platforms: assessment of market power, merger notification thresholds, measurement of merger effects on consumer privacy, and investigation of abuse of dominant position. In this context, the article analyses decisions of competition agencies which reviewed mergers in big data-driven markets, such as Google/DoubleClick, Facebook/ WhatsApp and Microsoft/LinkedIn. It also reviews investigations of alleged abuse of dominant position associated with big data, in particular the proceeding opened by the Bundeskartellamt against Facebook, in which the German antitrust authority prohibited the data processing policy imposed by Facebook on its users. The article concludes that it is important to harmonise the enforcement of competition, consumer and data protection polices in order to choose the proper way to protect the users of dominant platforms, maximising the benefits of the data-driven economy.

description: Low dimensional structures comprised of ferroelectric (FE) PbTiO$_3$ (PTO) and quantum paraelectric SrTiO$_3$ (STO) are hosts to complex polarization textures such as polar waves, flux-closure domains and polar skyrmion phases. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations can provide insight into this order, but, are limited by the computational effort needed to simulate the thousands of required atoms. To relieve this issue, we use the novel multi-site support function (MSSF) method within DFT to reduce the solution time for the electronic groundstate whilst preserving high accuracy. Using MSSFs, we simulate thin PTO films on STO substrates with system sizes $>2000$ atoms. In the ultrathin limit, the polar wave texture with cylindrical chiral bubbles emerges as an intermediate phase between full flux closure domains and in-plane polarization. This is driven by an internal bias field born of the compositionally broken inversion symmetry in the [001] direction. Since the exact nature of this bias field depends sensitively on the film boundary conditions, this informs a new principle of design for manipulating chiral order on the nanoscale through the careful choice of substrate, surface termination or use of overlayers. Antiferrodistortive (AFD) order locally interacts with these polar textures giving rise to strong FE/AFD coupling at the PbO terminated surface driving a $p(2 \times Λ)$ surface reconstruction. This offers another pathway for the local control of ferroelectricity.

In this paper, we assess consumer preferences for local, organic, and GMO-free potatoes in order to discover their potential niche markets. We identify socio-demographic characteristics that affect consumer preferences and compare the effects of different attributes on consumers' willingness to pay. Results suggest that the attribute "Colorado-Grown" carries a higher premium than organic and GMO-free attributes.

description: This paper develops a measure of efficiency when data have been aggregated. Unlike the most commonly used efficiency measures, our estimator handles the heteroskedasticity created by aggregation appropriately. Our estimator is compared to estimators currently used to measure school efficiency. Theoretical results are supported by a Monte Carlo experiment. Results show that for samples containing small schools (sample average may be about 100 students per school but sample includes several schools with about 30 students), the proposed aggregate data estimator performs better than the commonly used OLS and only slightly worse than the multilevel estimator. Thus, when school officials are unable to gather multilevel or disaggregate data, the aggregate data estimator proposed here should be used. When disaggregate data is available, standardizing the value-added estimator should be considered.

description: Engineered swift equilibration (ESE) is a class of driving protocols that enforce an equilibrium distribution with respect to external control parameters at the beginning and end of rapid state transformations of open, classical non-equilibrium systems. ESE protocols have previously been derived and experimentally realized for Brownian particles in simple, one-dimensional, time-varying trapping potentials; one recent study considered ESE in two-dimensional Euclidean configuration space. Here we extend the ESE framework to generic, overdamped Brownian systems in arbitrary curved configuration space and illustrate our results with specific examples not amenable to previous techniques. Our approach may be used to impose the necessary dynamics to control the full temporal configurational distribution in a wide variety of experimentally realizable settings.

description: We present evidence that the mid infrared (MIR) is a good tracer of the total infrared luminosity, L(IR), and star formation rate (SFR), of galaxies up to z 1.3. We use deep MIR images from the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) and the Spitzer Space Telescope in the Northern field of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS-N) together with VLA radio data to compute three independant estimates of L(IR). The L(IR,MIR) derived from the observed 15 and/or 24 um flux densities using a library of template SEDs, and L(IR,radio), derived from the radio (1.4 and/or 8.5 GHz) using the radio-far infrared correlation, agree with a 1-sigma dispersion of 40 %. We use the k-correction as a tool to probe different parts of the MIR spectral energy distribution (SED) of galaxies as a function of their redshift and find that on average distant galaxies present MIR SEDs very similar to local ones. However, in the redshift range z= 0.4-1.2, L(IR,24um) is in better agreement with L(IR,radio) than L(IR,15 um) by 20 %, suggesting that the warm dust continuum is a better tracer of the SFR than the broad emission features due to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We find marginal evidence for an evolution with redshift of the MIR SEDs: two thirds of the distant galaxies exhibit rest-frame MIR colors (L(12 um)/L(7 um) and L(10 um)/L(15 um) luminosity ratios) below the median value measured for local galaxies. Possible explanations are examined but these results are not sufficient to constrain the physics of the emitting regions. We compare three commonly used SED libraries which reproduce the color-luminosity correlations of local galaxies with our data and discuss possible refinements to the relative intensities of PAHs, warm dust continuum and silicate absorption.

description: During the current century, each major coronavirus outbreak has triggered a quick surge of academic publications on this topic. The spike in research publications following the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19), however, has been like no other. The global crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has mobilised scientific efforts in an unprecedented way. In less than five months, more than 12,000 research items have been indexed while the number increasing every day. With the crisis affecting all aspects of life, research on Covid-19 seems to have become a focal point of interest across many academic disciplines. Here, scientometric aspects of the Covid-19 literature are analysed and contrasted with those of the two previous major Coronavirus diseases, i.e. SARS and MERS. The focus is on the co-occurrence of key-terms, bibliographic coupling and citation relations of journals and collaborations between countries. Certain recurring patterns across all three literatures were discovered. All three outbreaks have commonly generated three distinct and major cohort of studies: (i) studies linked to the public health response and epidemic control, (ii) studies associated with the chemical constitution of the virus and (iii) studies related to treatment, vaccine and clinical care. While studies affiliated with the category (i) seem to have been the first to emerge, they overall received least numbers of citations compared to those of the two other categories. Covid-19 studies seem to have been distributed across a broader variety of journals and subject areas. Clear links are observed between the geographical origins of each outbreak or the local geographical severity of each outbreak and the magnitude of research originated from regions. Covid-19 studies also display the involvement of authors from a broader variety of countries compared to SARS and MRS.

description: Wetlands valuation is a situation in which CVM studies might be expected to fail scope tests. This paper reports results from a split-sample CVM study of Wisconsin wetlands. The survey employed a multiple-bounded, polychotomous-choice format, and compared WTP distributions using the method of convolutions. The survey demonstrated sensitivity to scope.
Conductance noise in interacting Anderson insulators driven far from equilibrium

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The combination of strong disorder and many-body interactions in Anderson insulators lead to a variety of intriguing non-equilibrium transport phenomena. These include slow relaxation and a variety of memory effects characteristic of glasses. Here we show that when such systems are driven with sufficiently high current, and in liquid helium bath, a peculiar type of conductance noise can be observed. This noise appears in the conductance versus time traces as downward-going spikes. The characteristic features of the spikes (such as typical width) and the threshold current at which they appear are controlled by the sample parameters. We show that this phenomenon is peculiar to hopping transport and does not exist in the diffusive regime. Observation of conductance spikes hinges also on the sample being in direct contact with the normal phase of liquid helium; when this is not the case, the noise exhibits the usual 1/f characteristics independent of the current drive. A model based on the percolative nature of hopping conductance explains why the onset of the effect is controlled by current density. It also predicts the dependence on disorder as confirmed by our experiments. To account for the role of the bath, the hopping transport model is augmented by a heuristic assumption involving nucleation of cavities in the liquid helium in which the sample is immersed. The suggested scenario is analogous to the way high-energy particles are detected in a Glaser's bubble chamber.

From tunneling to photoemission: correlating two spaces

description: Correlating the data measured by tunneling and photoemission spectroscopies is a long-standing problem in condensed matter physics. The quasiparticle interference, recently discovered in high-Tc cuprates, reveals a possibility to solve this problem. Application of modern phase retrieval algorithms to Fourier transformed tunneling data allows to recover the distribution of the quasiparticle spectral weight in the reciprocal space of solids measured directly by photoemission. This opens a direct way to unify these two powerful techniques and may help to solve a number of problems related with space/time inhomogeneities predicted in strongly correlated electron systems.

description: The Porter Hypothesis relates the effects of environmental regulation on (a) technological innovation and (b) economic performance. Specifically, it asserts that innovation offsets can occur. These are a type of technological change that will "partially or more than fully offset the costs of complying with environmental regulation" (Porter and van der Linde, 1995, p. 98). The hypothesis has been highly debated, in part, because nomenclature has been careless. Also, the role of property rights in defining innovation offsets has been neglected. If the Porter Hypothesis has validity in agriculture, its policy implications are important. Recent changes in agro-environmental legislation provides an opportunity to more thoroughly investigate the hypothesis and its implications.

description: Among the known particles, the neutron takes a special position, as it provides experimental access to all four fundamental forces and a wide range of hypothetical interactions. Despite being unstable, free neutrons live long enough to be used as test particles in interferometric, spectroscopic, and scattering experiments probing low-energy scales. As was already recognized in the 1970s, fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics can be tested in neutron interferometry using silicon perfect-single-crystals. Besides allowing for tests of uncertainty relations, Bell inequalities and alike, neutrons offer the opportunity to observe the effects of gravity and hypothetical dark forces acting on extended matter wave functions. Such tests gain importance in the light of recent discoveries of inconsistencies in our understanding of cosmology as well as the incompatibility between quantum mechanics and general relativity. Experiments with low-energy neutrons are thus indispensable tools for probing fundamental physics and represent a complementary approach to colliders. In this review we discuss the history and experimental methods used at this low-energy frontier of physics and collect bounds and limits on quantum mechanical relations and dark energy interactions.

description: We have studied the electronic transport properties of homogeneously disordered superconducting tantalum thin films in magnetic fields. The films exhibit three distinct transport regimes in the zero temperature limit which we identify as superconducting, metallic, and insulating phases. The metallic phase is unexpected. The transport characteristics of this metallic phase are found to be similar to those of MoGe films and high mobility dilute two-dimensional electrons or holes confined in semiconductor interface or transistor geometry.

description: Exclusive electroproduction of hard dijets can be described within the collinear factorization. This process has clear experimental signature and provides one with an interesting alternative venue to test QCD description of hard diffractive processes and extract information on generalized nucleon parton distributions.
