Outside Options and Social Comparison in 3-Player Ultimatum Game Experiments
Creators: name: Knez, Marc
name: Camerer, Colin F.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1995

description: We conducted ultimatum games in which a proposer offers a division of $10 to a respondent, who accepts or rejects it. If an offer is rejected, players receive a known outside option. Our proposers made simultaneous offers to two respondents, with outside options of $2 and $4. The rate of rejected offers was higher than in similar studies, around 50%, and persisted across five trials. Outside options seem to make players "egocentrically" apply different interpretations of the amount being divided, which creates persistent disagreement. And half of respondents demand more when they know other respondents are being offered more.

Are People Bayesian? Uncovering Behavioral Strategies

Subjects: Classification, Learning, Mixture models, Probability assessments

description: Economists and psychologists have recently been developing new theories of decision making under uncertainty that can accommodate the observed violations of standard statistical decision theoretic axioms by experimental subjects. We propose a procedure which finds a collection of decision rules that best explain the behavior of experimental subjects. The procedure is a combination of maximum likelihood estimation of the rules together with an implicit classification of subjects to the various rules, and a penalty for having too many rules. We apply our procedure to data on probabilistic updating by subjects in four different universities. We get remarkably robust results which show that the most important rules used by the subjects (in order of importance) are Bayes's rule, a representativeness rule (ignoring the prior), and to a lesser extent, conservatism (over-weighting the prior).

The Allocation of a Shared Resource Within an Organization

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1995
Subjects: Scheduling, Auctions, Mechanism design

description: Many resources such as supercomputers, legal advisors, and university classrooms are shared by many members of an organization. When the supply of shared resources is limited, conflict usually results between contending demanders. If these conflicts can be adequately resolved, then value is created for the organization. In this paper we use the methodology of applied mechanism design to examine alternative processes for the resolution of such conflicts for a particular class of scheduling problems. We construct a laboratory environment, within which we evaluate the outcomes of various allocation mechanisms. In particular, we are able to measure efficiency, the value attained by the resulting allocations as a percentage of the maximum possible value. Our choice of environment and parameters is guided by a specific application, the allocation of time on NASA's Deep Space Network, but the results also provide insights relevant to other scheduling and allocation applications. We find (1) experienced user committees using decision support algorithms produce reasonably efficient allocations in lower conflict situations but perform badly when there is a high level of conflict between demanders, (2) there is a mechanism, called the Adaptive User Selection Mechanism (AUSM) which charges users for time, which yields high efficiencies in high conflict situations but because of the prices paid, the net surplus available to the users is less than that resulting from the inefficient user committee (a reason why users may not appreciate "market solutions" to organization problems) and (3) there is a modification of AUSM in which tokens, or internal money, replaces real money, which results in highly efficient allocations without extracting any of the users' surplus. Although the distribution of surplus is still an issue, the significant increase in efficiency provides users with a strong incentive to replace inefficient user committees with the more efficient AUSM.

Real Women Are Too Real: Female Character Constructions in Carmen Maria Machado’s “Real Women Have Bodies”

Subjects: subject: Abjection

subject: Female Subjectivity
subject: Feminism
subject: Julia Kristeva
subject: Dewey Decimal Classification::400 | Sprache, Linguistik::420 | Englisch

description: Horror contains all the necessary ingredients for an enticing read: its startling, oftentimes unprecedented elements and imagery manage to produce suspense within a fixed framework that ensures separation between a fictional tormented protagonist and real-life readers. Carmen Maria Machado focuses on yet another strength of the genre, namely its power to give voice to the unspeakable. She reclaims the monstrous female and redefines her as the potent ‘Other.’ Through the lens of Julia Kristeva’s concept of the abject, this paper illustrates how body horror in Machado’s short story “Real Women Have Bodies” can be elevated to a functional literary instrument that exposes a readership’s biases towards female realities. Machado’s female characters defy categorization in terms of heteropatriarchal laws and willingly choose existence in a liminal space where ambiguity reigns. By executing their roles as abjects, Machado’s female cast perpetually challenges readers to perceive and re-evaluate their seemingly one-dimensional characters in all their contradictory facets. Ultimately, abject female characters act as signposts, pointing at underlying gaps and fractures in male-oriented societies.

description: Often cast aside as a mere advertisement, a vapid illustration of sound, music video has received little scholarly attention to date. However, especially in the 1980s, the art form enamored entire generations of adolescents, who turned to it because it promised an escape into a less restrictive, more enticing life. This article reads the music video of Laura Branigan’s 1984 pop song “Self Control” in the context of the simultaneous rise of social conservatism and the emerging medium of the music video. I argue that “Self Control” entraps its audience in the artificial, unattainable space music videos create in order to profit off the wish to transgress one’s material surroundings. For this venture, the video appropriates queer, transgressive spaces, aesthetics, and conventions, which were fashioned in the late-1970s disco era. It then subjects disco spaces to two parallel processes. One is that of reworking and refashioning them to appease a mass audience and its tastemakers. The other is that of abstracting these spaces and severing their connection to the lived realities in which they originate. Together, these processes refashion the format of the music video into an industrial product that mediates pleasurable experiences such as free bodily expression and the temporary suspension of marginalization. I trace these developments by analyzing several parameters of film style, including mise-en-scène, cinematography, and editing.
Mutually Destructive Bidding: The FCC Auction Design Problem
Creators: name: Bykowsky, Mark. M
name: Cull, Robert J.
name: Ledyard, John O.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1998

description: Dissatisfaction with previous assignment mechanisms and the desire to raise revenue induced Congress to grant the FCC authority to auction radio licenses. The debate over an appropriate auction design was wide ranging with many imaginative proposals. Many of the arguments and their scientific support are unfortunately not publicly available. Here, we present our side of this debate for the record.
Synergies across license valuations complicate the auction design process. Theory suggests that a "simple" (i.e., non-combinatorial) auction will have difficulty in assigning licenses efficiently in such an environment. This difficulty increases with increases in "fitting complexity." In some environments, bidding may become "mutually destructive." Experiments indicate that a combinatorial auction is superior to a simple auction in terms of economic efficiency and revenue generation in bidding environments with a low amount of fitting complexity. Concerns that a combinatorial auction will cause a "threshold" problem are not borne out when bidders for small packages can communicate.

Shaw vs. Reno and the World of Redistricting and Representation
Creators: name: Kousser, J. Morgan
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1995

description: Justice O ' Connor's majority opinion in the 1993U.S. Supreme Court case of Shaw v. Reno has widely been seen as withdrawing judicial protection of minority voting rights -- a welcome development to those who believe as a matter of faith that discriminatory electoral rules, racist appeals in elections, and racially polarized voting are things of the distant past, but less hopeful to close students of redistricting and election campaigns of the last two decades. Deeply ambiguous, the opinion has spawned a wide range of interpretations, from assertions that it bans redistricters from taking the race of voters into account at all, even when they place them in majority-white districts, to contentions that it merely asks for further information about the basis for establishing certain "ugly" districts that have majorities of African Americans or Latinos.
In this paper, which is based on research that I carried out for Shaw v. Hunt, the remand version of Shaw v. Reno, and Vera v. Richards, its Texas counterpart, I try to restore a sense of reality to the often factually incorrect assertions or implications of Justice O'Connor's opinion, not only by a close textual reading of the briefs and opinions in the Supreme Court case, but also by looking in considerable detail at the actual redistricting processes in North Carolina and Texas during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Were race, partisanship, and individual politicians' interests taken into account in redrawing districts before 1991, or were all previous reapportionments pristine exercises in civic virtue? Might the states in the 1990s have had compelling interests in redressing past racially discriminatory practices? Were the motives of the 1991-92redistrictings so uncomplicated that they can be easily and unambiguously determined by a quick glance at a map? For North Carolina, I also examine whether white and black public opinion and the voting records of white and black members of Congress differ systematically from each other. Do black voters need black faces to represent them?
Shaw's vagueness affords the Supreme Court the possibility of gracefully backing away from its separate but unequal standards, standards that allow whites standing to sue without having to prove that the electoral rules at issue have a racially discriminatory effect and without having to show in detail that they were adopted with a racially discriminatory intent. In the final section, I outline five escape routes from Shaw, all of which are based on its factual inadequacies.

The Failure of Transnational Retirement Migration on the Example of German Retirees in Thailand
Creators: name: Hollstein, Pauline
Publisher: name: MLU Human Geography Working Paper Series
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 000

description: Thailand has been one of the most common destinations for retirement migrants worldwide for centuries. Known for its supposedly healthy climatic conditions, high-quality care facilities, and the availability of attractive, primarily female lovers, many German migrants seek to improve their life quality in the Southeast Asian country. However, retiring in Thailand is not always successful, as several problems can arise. The purpose of this paper is to examine aspects associated with a failing migration of German retirees to the country and to explain their interrelations. Furthermore, the organization and procedures of the returns to Germany shall be analyzed. With the help of the internet, four suitable persons have been acquired and questioned in guided interviews. Overall, four aspects contributing to a failing migration can be distinguished: the financial circumstances of the retirees and their families; a lack of language skills; interpersonal and integration conflicts; failed relationships and marriages. The return to Germany then proceeds mostly unplanned and forced rather than well-prepared.

French: Rat de Christina / German: Christina-Margareta-Ratte / Spanish: Rata margarita de Christina
Other common names: Christina's Margaretamys
Taxonomy. Margaretamys christinae Mortelliti et al., 2012,
south slope of Gunung Mo- serosero, Pegunungan Mekongga, Sulawesi Tenggara, south-eastern Sulawesi.
In the phylogenetic study by M. Pages and colleagues in 2016, M. christinae was sister to M. elegans. Monotypic.
Distribution. Known only from type locality in SE Sulawesi.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 111 mm, tail 175 mm, hindfoot 20 mm, ear 24-5 mm; weight 49 g. rm S im Rat is similar in size to the Lesser Margareta Rat (M. parvus). Pelage is long, soft, and dense. Dorsum is reddish brown. Underparts are grayish yellow, but chin and throat are grayish white. There is no indication of a facial mask. Feet are brown with white digits. Whiskers are very long. Tail is 158% of headbody length, with hairs increasing toward distinctly tufted tip. Proximal two-thirds of tail is grayish brown, and distal part is white. Three hairs emerge from each tail scale.
Habitat. Lower and upper montane rainforest at an elevations of 1537 m. Holotype was captured 1-5 m off the ground a few hundred meters from a trail used by local hunters. The area was characterized by interspersed patches ofprimary and secondary forest at the beginning of tropical lower montane forest.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. Christina’s Margareta Rat is believed to be nocturnal because holotype was trapped at night. That single rat was captured on Pegunungan Mekongga with the Common Hill Rat (Bunomys chrysocomus), Montane Hill Rat (Bunomys penitus), Giant Sulawesi Rat (Paruromys dominator), Maxomys sp.

Correlated Disturbances in Discrete Choice Models: A Comparison of Multinomial Probit Models and Logit Models
Creators: name: Alvarez, R. Michael
name: Nagler, Jonathan
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1994

description: In political science, there are many cases where individuals make discrete choices from more than two alternatives. This paper uses Monte Carlo analysis to examine several questions about one class of discrete choice models - those involving both alternative specific and individual-specific variables on the right-hand side - and demonstrates several findings. First, the use of estimation techniques assuming uncorrelated disturbances across alternatives in discrete choice models can lead to significantly biased parameter estimates. This point is tempered by the observation that probability estimates based on the full choice set generated from such estimates are not likely to be biased enough to lead to incorrect inferences. However, attempts to infer the impact of altering the choice set - such as by removing one of the alternatives - will be less successful. Second, the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) model is extremely unreliable when the pat tern of correlation among the disturbances is not as restricted as the GEV model assumes. GEV estimates may suggest grouping among the choices that is in fact not present in the data. Third, in samples the size of many typical political science applications – 1000 observations - Multinomial Probit (MNP) is capable of recovering precise estimates of the parameters of the systemic component of the model, though MNP is not likely to generate precise estimates of the relationship among the disturbances in samples of this size. Paradoxically, MNP's primary benefit is its ability to uncover relationships among alternatives and to correctly estimate the effect of removing an alternative from the choice set. Thus this paper suggests the increased use of MNP by political scientists examining discrete choice problems when the central question of interest is the effect of removing an alternative from the choice set. We demonstrate that for other questions, models positing in dependent disturbances may be 'close enough.'

Relationship Banking, Liquidity, and Investment in the German Industrialization

description: Because of apparently close ties between banks and industry, German-style universal banking is thought by many to improve investment efficiency. This paper presents new evidence to the contrary. Using a panel of firm data from Germany's heavy industrialization period (1903-1913), the analysis shows that investment is more sensitive to internal liquidity for bank-networked firms than unattached firms, and that this effect is only minimally offset in the long run. Furthermore, the paper presents extensive evidence on the characteristics of bank-attached firms and demonstrates through direct tests that the estimated investment equations are free of selection bias.

Two-Stage Estimation of Non-Recursive Choice Models
Creators: name: Alvarez, R. Michael
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1994

description: Questions of causation are important issues in empirical research on political behavior. Most of the discussion of the econometric problems associated with multi-equation models with reciprocal causation has focused on models with continuous dependent variables (e.g. Markus and Converse 1979; Page and Jones 1979). Since many models of political behavior involve discrete or dichotomous dependent variables, this paper turns to two techniques which can be employed to estimate reciprocal relationships between dichotomous and continuous dependent variables. One technique which I call two-stage probit least squares (2SPLS) is very similar to familiar two-stage instrumental variable techniques. The second technique, called two-stage conditional maximum likelihood (2SCML), may overcome problems associated with 2SPLS, but has not been used in the political science literature. First I show the properties of both techniques using Monte Carlo simulations. Then, I apply these techniques to an empirical example which focuses on the relationship between voter preferences in a presidential election and the voter's uncertainty about the policy positions taken by the candidates. This example demonstrates the importance of these techniques for political science research.

Exchange Economies and Loss Exposure: Experiments Exploring Prospect Theory and Competitive Equilibria in Market Environments
Creators: name: Myagkov, Mikhail
name: Plott, Charles R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1995

description: A natural economic interpretation of Prospect Theory is that people have preferences that are risk seeking in losses and risk averse in gains. Thus, according to this interpretation of the theory, individuals in an exchange economy facing only losses in wealth, would have concave preferences as opposed to the usual convex preferences. That is, if individuals could engage in trade that would reduce the magnitude of expected losses and change the variance associated with losses, they would have a tendency to seek higher variance and perhaps be willing to do so at the cost of a reduction of expected value of wealth. Such individuals would be willing to sell insurance at prices below the expected value. With concave preferences all competitive equilibria have allocations at the boundaries of the Edgeworth Box. Experimental markets were constructed to determine if such behavior could be observed. The results are that risk seeking behavior is observed in many people. Furthermore, the propensity toward risk seeking in markets is consistent with answers given to questionnaires involving hypothetical choices among lotteries. The propensity toward risk seeking appears to be reduced with experience. In one sense the data are strongly supportive of Prospect Theory but in another sense the data are not. The evidence suggests that preferences in the market setting are not labile and that the risk seeking propensities are not a result of delicate framing effects. The preferences revealed in the market seemed to be a property of the people and not simply a property of their decision processes as required by Prospect Theory.

The Formation of Multiple Teams
Creators: name: Sherstyuk, Katerina
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1994

description: Organizational forms such as task-oriented teams have often been proposed as a method to enhance the efficiency of a firm. Under asymmetric information, however, the costs of acquiring the information needed to improve efficiency may outweigh the efficiency gains and lead to lower profits. We illustrate this idea by considering a profit-maximizing principal who needs to allocate a group of agents among a number of projects, given that the principal has incomplete information about the agents' abilities. We study feasible incentive-compatible (truth-revealing) individually rational mechanisms under both the dominant strategy and Bayesian Nash behavioral assumptions. Some attention is also paid to Nash equilibrium mechanisms. The paper covers derivation of optimal mechanisms, efficiency analysis, and analysis of the principal's expected profit as a function of different types of environment and information structures. We find that if the principal has little or no information about the agents' private characteristics and the agents follow dominant strategy behavior, the principal may often run into losses in an attempt to discover the hidden information. Paradoxically, the loss occurs when the efficiency gains from team production are high and the competition among the agents is low. If the hidden information about each agent can be summarized as a one-dimensional type parameter, and if a prior distribution function of the agents ' types is common knowledge among the agents and the principal, an expected-profit maximizing Bayesian equilibrium mechanism exists and is of the optimal auction form (Myerson, 1 98 1 ) . Moreover, the mechanism can be equivalently implemented in dominant strategies with no expected profit loss for the principal. Yet, the principal's profit often decreases with an increase in the number of projects. These findings suggest that, in profit-maximizing firms with low competition among the employees, efficient organizational forms may often be foregone in favor of profits.

Voter Choice in 1992: Economics, Issues, and Anger
Creators: name: Alvarez, R. Michael
name: Nagler, Jonathan

Year: 1994

description: This paper examines the voting behavior of individuals in the 1 992 presidential election. Employing a multinomial probit model we disprove several commonly held beliefs regarding the uniqueness of the election and the mood of the voters. We show emphatically the dominance of the economy as an issue, and that Clinton, not Perot, was the beneficiary of economic discontent. We show the limited influence of the candidates' efforts at choosing the optimal ideological position. We also demonstrate, via simulations of the outcome under hypothetical distributions of preferences, that the effect of the economy, while large, cannot by itself explain the magnitude of Bush's defeat. We also prove the surprisingly powerful impact of the candidates' positions on abortion on voters' choices. And we disprove the stylized fact that the 1 992 election was characterized by "angry voters." Finally, we show that Perot took more votes from Bush than he did from Clinton.
