EWA Learning in Bilateral Call Markets

Subjects: Experimental economics, call markets, sealed-bid mechanism, learning

description: This chapter extends the EWA learning model to bilateral call market games (also known as the "sealed-bid mechanism" in two-person bargaining). In these games, a buyer and seller independently draw private values from commonly-known distributions and submit bids. If the buyer's bid is above the seller's, they trade at the midpoint of the two bids; otherwise they don't trade. We apply EWA by assuming that players have value-dependent bidding strategies, and they partially generalize experience from one value/cost condition to another in response to the incentives from nonlinear optimal bid functions. The same learning model can be applied to other market institutions where subjects economize on learning by taking into consideration similarity between past experience and a new environment while still recognizing the difference in market incentives between them. The chapter also presents a new application of EWA to a "continental divide" coordination game, and reviews 32 earlier studies comparing EWA, reinforcement, and belief learning. The application shows the advantages of a generalized adaptive model of behavior that includes elements of reinforcement, belief-based and direction learning as special cases at some cost of complexity for the benefit of generality and psychological appeal. It is a good foundation to build upon to extend our understanding of adaptive behavior in more general games and market institutions. In future work, we should investigate the similarity parameters, ψ and ω, to better characterize their magnitude and significance in different market institutions.

Subjects: networks, core, Myerson Value, Shapley Value, allocation rules

description: Previous allocation rules for network games, such as the Myerson Value, implicitly or
explicitly take the network structure as fixed. In many situations, however, the network
structure can be altered by players. This means that the value of alternative network
structures (not just sub-networks) can and should influence the allocation of value among players on any given network structure. I present a family of allocation rules that incorporate information about alternative network structures when allocating value.

$1858 Sphaerites digitatus Quenstedt: 726, pl. 88, figs 48–52.
1985? Valettaster digitatus Quenstedt; Breton: 93.
Types. Of the abactinal ossicles figured by Quenstedt (1858, pl. 88, figs 48–52), from the ‘ Weisse Jura’ at Derlingen, Thale, Germany, the specimen illustrated as fig. 48 is here selected as lectotype, the present whereabouts of which are unknown.
Diagnosis. Abactinals large, flat, bearing irregularly developed digitate processes on margins; outer surfaces with sculpture of dense, evenly sized, crater-rimmed pits.
Material. A lot including 25 abactinal ossicles from the Oxfordian of southern Germany (GPIT /A5/50).
Occurrence. Oxfordian of southern Germany.
Description. Abactinals flat, truncated cones, irregular in outline, with thin flanged processes forming margins. The sloping marginal zone bears pits for articulation of smaller secondary ossicles. External faces irregularly oval, bearing evenly sized, densely packed pits, each with a crater rim.
Remarks. This species has received little attention in the literature, but is distinctive in its large, flat abactinals, with marginal processes and a sculpture of dense, fine crater-rimmed pits.

description: For groups that must make several decisions of similar form, we define a simple and general mechanism that is designed to promote social efficiency. The mechanism links the various decisions by forcing agents to budget their representations of preferences so that the frequency of preferences across problems conforms to the underlying distribution of preferences. We show that as the mechanism operates over a growing number decisions, the welfare costs of incentive constraints completely disappear. In addition, as the number of decisions being linked grows, a truthful strategy is increasingly successful and secures the efficient utility level for an agent.

Mentawai Archipelago Rat
Rattus lugens
French: Rat des Mentawai / German: Mentawai-Ratte / Spanish: Rata de Mentawai
Other common names: Mentawai Rat
Taxonomy. Mus lugens G. S. Miller, 1903,
Pulau UtaraPagai (= North Pagai Island),
Kepulauan Mentawai, Indonesia.
Rattus lugens is morphologically allied with
R. adustus and R. simalurensis, which together seem to be related to R. tiomanicus, being part of the R. rattus species group. Monotypic.
Distribution. Siberut, Sipora, North Pagai, and South Pagai Is, Mentawai Archipelago, off W Sumatra.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 226 mm,tail 210 mm, hindfoot 41 mm (from holotype). No specific data are available for body weight. The Mentawai Archipelago Rat is large and distinctive, similar to the Simalur Archipelago Rat (R. simalurensis), being darker, less buffy, and larger. Pelage is dense, fine, and moderately coarse. Dorsum is brownish black, lighter and buffier on sides and blending into ventral pelage. Venteris slate gray, with rusty brown streak on chest. Feet are dull rusty brown dorsally. Ears are blackish brown. Tail is ¢.93% of head-body length and unicolored blackish brown. Skull is larger and narrower than on the Simalur Archipelago Rat. There are three pairs of mammae.
Habitat. Tropical lowland evergreen forest.
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 Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. Habitat of the Mentawai Archipelago Rat has been largely affected by deforestation from logging and agricultural expansion, and competition with invasive Rattus species is probably a threat. It has a restricted distribution (13,317 km?) and is not found in any protected areas. Additional research is needed to fully understand its natural history, taxonomy, and conservation threats.

description: We argue that the standard toolbox used in electoral studies to assess the bias and responsiveness of electoral systems can also be used to assess the bias and responsiveness of legislative systems. We consider which items in the toolbox are the most appropriate for use in the legislative setting, then apply them to estimate levels of bias in the U.S. House from 1879 to 2000. Our results indicate a systematic bias in favor of the majority party over this period, with the strongest bias arising during the period of "Czar rule" (51st-60th Congresses, 1889-1910) and during the post-packing era (87th-106th Congresses, 1961-2000). This finding is consistent with the majority party possessing a significant advantage in setting the agenda.

description: Leberis davidi (Richard, 1895)
(Fig. 5)
Material examined. 10 parthenogenetic females from a small pond located in Playa de Guanabo, near Habana, Cuba, coll. 15.10.1987 by Y.S. Reshetnikov, NNS-1997-187.
Remarks on morphology. Our data confirmed observations by Sinev et al. (2005) that in L. davidi ODL limb I is supplied by: (1) accessory seta (Fig. 5E: acs); (2) a small hillock located approximately midway between base of ODL seta and accessory seta; (3) IDL with a rudimentary seta on inner face (Fig. 5E: rs). Epipodites of thoracic limbs III, IV and V have finger-like projections.
The short seta on IDL of limb I is supplied by a row of setules equal in thickness along the full length of its distal segment (Fig. 5E). In smaller studied specimens, anterior margin of labrum is almost convex. In most cases, the spine on basal segment of antenna II exopod is slightly shorter than middle segment. But in some individuals this spine is almost equal in length to the middle segment (Fig. 5C).
The number of long aesthetascs on antenna I in female in this species should be reexamined in the future. Sinev et al. (2005) reported three long aesthetascs in parthenogenetic females, although it is not obvious in their illustrations (e.g. fig. 111). At the same time, in other species of Leberis there are two long aesthetascs on antenna I.

description: We conducted a two-stage game experiment with a non-excludable public good. In the first stage, two subjects choose simultaneously whether or not they commit to contributing nothing to provide a pure public good. In the second stage, knowing the other subject's commitment decision, subjects who selected not to commit in the first stage choose contributions to the public good. We found no support for the evolutionary stable strategy equilibrium, and the ratio of subjects who did not commit to contributing nothing increased as rounds advanced; that is, the free-riding rate declined over time. Furthermore, this behavior did not arise due to altruism or kindness among subjects, but from spiteful behavior of subjects.

Other common names: Niken's Rat
Taxonomy. Rattus nikenii Maryanto et al., 2010,
“Gag Island,
West Papua, Indonesia.”
Rattus nikenai is in the Recent New Guinea clade within Rattus. Populations of R. nikenii were previously allocated to R.praetor. Monotypic.
Distribution. Gag I, Indonesia; and perhaps other islands in the region.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 135- 300 mm, tail 138-165 mm, hindfoot 31-36-5 mm; weight 113-175 g. The Gag Island Rat is mediumto large-sized and similar to the Large New Guinea Spiny Rat (R. praetor), although it is considerably smaller on average, with shorter snout and hindfeet proportionately. Pelage is harsh and spiny. Dorsum is ashy gray, with light brown sides sharply demarcated from venter. Venter is white on chin, rufous merging to tawny on throat, brown to patchy light brown on chest, creamy on abdomen, and pale brown mixed with cream in scrotal area. Feet are grayish white dorsally. Ears are small, rounded, and similarly in color to dorsum; vibrissae are long. Tail is less than 100% of head-body length and unicolored blackish brown. Skull has oval profiled cranium and is altogether similar to Stein’s New Guinea Rat (R. stein). There are four pairs of mammae: two axillary and two inguinal.
Habitat. Probably ultrabasic, evergreen valley forests.
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 Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. The GagIsland Rat was only recently recognized as a distinct species and has a very limited distribution (56 km?) that is completely in a protected area, although it is potentially threatened bynickel mining. More research is needed to fully understand its natural history, taxonomy, and conservation threats.

Separation of Decisions in Group Identification

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2006
Subjects: Group Identification, Liberal Rule, Separability, Voting, Axiom

description: We study a model of group identification in which individuals' opinions as to the membership of a group are aggregated to form a list of the group's members. Potential aggregation rules are studied through the axiomatic approach. We introduce two axioms, meet separability and join separability, each of which requires the list of members generated by the aggregation rule to be independent of whether the question of membership in a group is separated into questions of membership in two other groups. We use these axioms to characterize a class of "one vote" rules, in which one opinion determines whether an individual is considered to be a member of a group. We then use this characterization to provide new axiomatizations of the liberal rule, in which each individual determines for himself whether he is a member of the group, as the only non-degenerate anonymous rule satisfying the meet separability and join separability axioms.

description: Valettaster thuyi sp. nov.
(Fig. 22M, N)
Type. The specimen figured here (Fig. 22M, N) is the holotype, from the Hildoceras bifrons ammonite Zone (Toarcian) at Fougerolles, France (MHNML 2020.1.1).
Diagnosis. Valettaster with tabulate abactinal ossicles, the broad outer surface of which bears a branching reticulum of imperforate stereom.
Derivation of name. After Ben Thuy, who sent the holotype specimen to the author.
Material. Holotype, a single abactinal ossicle, obtained by Marc Chesnier from washed residues from the Gúerin quarry at Fougerolles, Normandy, France (see Hess & Thuy 2016 for details).
Description. Abactinal ossicle with outline irregularly semicircular, 3 mm in maximum dimension; one side is straight, the other bearing irregular short lobes. The ossicle is flat, with a broad external surface slightly narrower than basal breadth. The external surface shows a radial network of irregularly bifurcating ridges of smooth imperforate stereom.
Remarks. This is by a considerable margin the oldest known representative of Valettaster (185–190 Ma), and the similarity of its highly specialized sculpture (reticulum of imperforate stereom) to that of the Cretaceous V. argus and V. ocellatus confirms its placement in the genus. It differs from V. ocellatus in the thinner abactinals, the very broad external surface and the irregularly bifurcating, radial ribbing. In V. ocellatus the abactinals are stout truncated cones, and the sculpture comprises fine radial ridges and pustules (Fig. 22E).

Descriptive notes. Head-body 200- 213 mm,tail 176-198 mm, hindfoot 39-2- 42-2 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The Simalur Archipelago Rat is large and similar to the Malaysian Field Rat (R. tiomanicus). Pelage is dense, fine, and moderately coarse, with grooved spines and black guard hairs throughout, both having metallic iridescence at ends. Dorsum is grizzled black, with dull ocherous buff, and light-er along sides. Venteris buff, with somewhat gray streak on chest. Feet are dull brownish. Ears are dark brown. Tail is a little shorter than head-body length and dark brown. Skull has narrow rostrum and long and narrow incisive foramina. There are five pairs of mammae: one pectoral, one post-axillary, one abdominal, and two inguinal.
Habitat. Probably forests and forest edges.
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 Endangered on The IUCN Red List. The Simalur Archipelago Rat has a limited distribution (less than 3900 km?) and has not been studied well enough to understand its natural history, taxonomy, or conservation threats. It is probably threatened by forest loss and competition with the Roof Rat (R. rattus) and the Pacific Rat (R. exulans).

Podosphaeraster

description: Genus Podosphaeraster Clark & Wright, 1962
Type species. Podosphaeraster polyplax Clark & Wright, 1962, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Small spherical to sub-spherical (oblate) sphaerasterids that lack small ossicles intercalated between the large undifferentiated primary ossicles. The surface of these ossicles is composed of dense, smooth perforate stereom, raised into irregular ridges or confluent rugosities. The adambulacrals have broad rectangular external faces. The muscles dadam, padam and lim between the adambulacrals and ambulacrals are absent. The small madreporite is enclosed centrally within a large interradial ossicle.
Remarks. This Recent genus is now known from six species of worldwide distribution, which have very similar overall construction. Podosphaeraster polyplax is known from off northern Australia and the South China Sea, P. pulvinatus Rowe & Nichols,1980 from the Loyalty Islands, South Pacific, Guam in the North Pacific and the Philippines. The species P. thalassae Cherbonnier, 1970 was recovered from the north-east Atlantic, and Fujita & Rowe (2002) described P. toyoshiomaruae from southern Japan. Finally, McKnight (2006) described P. somnambulator from New Zealand. The present description is based on numerous specimens of P. pulvinatus from the Philippines, obtained by purchase (MhnhL OPH 174–176). The genus Podosphaeraster is re-placed within the Sphaerasteridae (see above).

description: We study the ordinal content of assuming supermodularity, including conditions under which a binary relation can be represented by a supermodular function. When applied to revealed-preference relations, our results imply that supermodularity is some times not refutable: A consumer's choices can be rationalized with a supermodular utility function if they can be rationalized with a monotonic utility function. Hence, supermodularity is not empirically distinguishable from monotonicity. We present applications to assortative matching, decision under uncertainty, and to testing production technologies.

Political Bias and War

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

Subjects: War, Political Bias, Alliances, Bargaining, Transfers, Commitment, Democratic Peace, War Technology

description: We examine the incentives for countries to go to war as they depend on the comparison between how much their pivotal decision-makers have at risk and how much they stand to gain from a war. How this ratio compares to the country at large is what we term "political bias." If there is no political bias, then there are always payments that one country would like to make to the other that will avoid a war in the presence of commitment or enforceability of peace treaties. If there is a bias on the part of one or both countries, then war can result and in some cases cannot be prevented by any transfer payments. We examine how war technology and relative wealth levels interact with political bias in determining whether countries make transfers, go to war, and form alliances. Our results shed some new light on the uneven contender paradox and the interpretation of the "democratic peace".

Rugosphaeraster

description: Genus Rugosphaeraster gen. nov.
Type species. Rugosphaeraster ruegenensis sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Robust abactinal ossicles block-like, irregularly polygonal to rhombic, mostly equidimensional, with notches for papulae at the corners. Surface of the abactinal ossicles bearing transverse strips or irregularly radial pustules of imperforate stereom. Adambulacrals bear large, irregularly arranged, bifid spine bases.
Derivation of name. From the Latin ruga, with reference to the rugose and striated surfaces of the abactinals.
Remarks. Other than abactinals, only adambulacrals are known. The affinities of the genus are obscure, but the structure of the large abactinals and adambulacrals indicates that this genus belongs to the Sphaerasteridae. The robust structure of the abactinal plates, with vertical sides and large papular notches, is quite different to that found in Valettaster, in which the plates have the form of truncated cones, the spaces between which are packed with secondary ossicles to form a flat exterior surface (Figs 23H–J, 24F, G). In the very thick form, with large papular notches, the abactinal plates bear a resemblance to those of Stauraster primitivus (Fig. 5D, F, L), but this is probably convergent, and no broad radial plates like those of S. primitivus are present in the material. The morphology of some abactinal plate types of R. rugensis gen. et sp. nov. is closely comparable with those of other sphaerasterids. The rhombic to six-sided large, elongated abactinals are similar to actinal interradial ‘I plates’ (see below), and the small plates with slanting sides, indicating imbrication, are similar to actinally positioned ossicles of other sphaerasterids. The adambulacrals are typical of sphaerasterids, in the presence of tall abradial surfaces, a square actinal surface, proximal and distal:proximal pits for ligamentary attachment, and replacement of muscles by carious ligament pits; however, these characters are plesiomorphic for sphaerasterids and do not suggest generic affinities.
A well-preserved specimen of Rugisphaeraster ruegensis gen. et sp. nov. from the Campanian of Germany is present in the collections of the Berlin Museum, which shows the form of the abactinal surface, but is currently unavailable for study.
