description: The paper investigates the revenue and efficiency of different ascending price auction architectures for the sale of three items and five bidders. Four architectures are studied:  two different sequences of single item auctions, simultaneous auctions with a common countdown clock, and simultaneous auctions with item specific countdown clocks.  A countdown clock measures the time until the auction closes but resets with each new bid. The environment contains independent private values, no uncertainty about own preferences, no information about other's preferences, and a one unit budget constraint. The Nash equilibrium best response with straight forward bidding fits both dynamic and outcome data well.  When non-unique Nash equilibria exist as in the case of simultaneous markets with a common clock, the social value maximizing Nash equilibrium emerges as the equilibrium selection. Both total revenue and efficiencies depend on the architecture as predicted by the Nash model, with the exception of the independent clocks architecture, which performs poorly on all dimensions.

Fig. 9 a, d, e
Diagnostic features.
Small specimen (l × w × h; 46 × 34 × 30 mm) and fragile, found growing in turbid water near the coastal city of Makassar. Massive shape with large oscula (3–4 mm in diameter). Color in life deep blue and pale white in alcohol. The choanosomal skeleton is paucispicular tracts. Spicules are oxeas, larger oxeas 163.9–196.2 (163.9) × 7–9.9 (8) µm (n = 20) and thin oxeas 92–156.1 (127.5) × 0.8–5.7 (3) µm (n = 26). Microscleres are sigmas. The subgenus Haliclona (Soestella) consists of 25 species, and only Haliclona (Soestella) elegantia is registered from the marine ecoregions of Indonesia (Putra et al. 2023). This species is poorly studied; in fact, we have found no studies after its original description. Bowerbank’s description did not include an illustration, but the specimen was described as of small appearance and small spicules (short and stout) with fragile and elegant uni-, bi-, and tri-spiculous reticulation on the dermal structure (Bowerbank 1875: 286).
Distribution and ecology.
Previously recorded from Malacca Strait (Bowerbank 1875). This is the first record for the Spermonde Archipelago (at Kayangan Island, and Gusung Tallang Island; turbid environment).

description: We study optimal control of PDEs under uncertainty with the state variable subject to joint chance constraints. The controls are deterministic, but the states are probabilistic due to random variables in the governing equation. Joint chance constraints ensure that the random state variable meets pointwise bounds with high probability. For linear governing PDEs and elliptically distributed random parameters, we prove existence and uniqueness results for almost-everywhere state bounds. Using the spherical-radial decomposition (SRD) of the uncertain variable, we prove that when the probability is very large or small, the resulting Monte Carlo estimator for the chance constraint probability exhibits substantially reduced variance compared to the standard Monte Carlo estimator. We further illustrate how the SRD can be leveraged to efficiently compute derivatives of the probability function, and discuss different expansions of the uncertain variable in the governing equation. Numerical examples for linear and bilinear PDEs compare the performance of Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo sampling methods, examining probability estimation convergence as the number of samples increases. We also study how the accuracy of the probabilities depends on the truncation of the random variable expansion, and numerically illustrate the variance reduction of the SRD.
Mechanism Design with Public Goods: Committee Karate,
 Cooperative Games, and the Control of Social Decisions through Subcommittees

description: Axioms from social choice theory and the core of cooperative games in effectiveness form are used to design an organization that influences a voting group to choose the alternative preferred by a designer. The designer has information about individual preferences and can dictate organization but cannot dictate choice. The designer's influence works through decision centers (subcommittees). Subcommittee memberships, subcommittee separation, the alternatives available to the subcommittees, the chairpersons and voting rules can be used to create games with appropriate configurations of cores that result in group decisions according to the designer's wishes. The institutions leave considerable flexibility to subcommittee decisions and appear to be fair.  Manipulation is not detected.  Core alternatives emerge as the group choice.  Conflicting individual preferences enable organizational structures such that a wide range of alternative can be made the solution. Experiments demonstrate that the resulting model is a very accurate predictor of the group choice.

Namaqua Rock Rat
Micaelamys namaquensis
French: Rat namaquois / German: Namaqua-Buschlandratte / Spanish: Rata de roca de Namaqua
Other common names: Namaqua Aethomys, Namaqua Micaelamys, Namagqua Rock Mouse
Taxonomy. Gerbillus namaquensis A. Smith, 1834,
“Little Namaqualand,” Cape Prov-ince, South Africa. Restricted by G. C. Shortridge in 1942 to “Witwater,” Kamies-berg Region, Cape Province, South Africa.
Genus Micaelamys was previously included in Aethomys, but chromosomal, morphological, and molecular data support its recognition as a distinct genus. Monotypic.
Distribution. Widespread in S Africa, including W Angola, Namibia, Botswana, extreme S Zambia, Zimbabwe, C Mozambique, S Malawi, Swaziland, Lesotho, and South Africa.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 80-147 mm,tail 107-197 mm, ear 11-24 mm, hindfoot 16-32 mm; weight 33-89 g. The Namaqua Rock Rat’s fur is yellowish brown to reddish brown grizzled with black above, and white to pale gray or pale yellowish orange below. Tail is very long (c.140% of head—body length), brownish black above and below, coarsely scaled and sparsely haired. Female has 1+2 = 3 pairs of nipples. Karyotype 2n = 24.
Habitat. Rocky outcrops in savanna and semiarid areas.
Food and Feeding. Diet is mostly composed of grass and foliage, also seeds and insects. Cecum of the Namaqua Rock Rat is large, as is the case with other grass specialists.
Breeding. Reproduction is seasonal and confined to wet season, with births toward end of wet season orearly dry season. Young are born altricial and nipple-cling for about two or three weeks. Gestation period exceeds 22 days.Litter size 1-7.
Activity patterns. Namaqua Rock Rats are nocturnal, terrestrial and partly arboreal.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Namaqua Rock Rats nest singly, in pairs, or in small groups. Mean home range is 3100 m®. In the Namib Desert, home ranges of males did not overlap those of other males, and female home ranges likewise did not overlap; those of males and females, however, didoverlap. In captivity, intrasexual aggression was observed.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List (as Aethomys namaquensis).

description: Successful field tests were conducted on two new Information Aggregation Mechanisms (IAMs). The mechanisms collected information held as intuitions about opening weekend box office revenues for movies in Australia. Participants were film school students.  One mechanism is similar to parimutuel betting that produces a probability distribution over box office amounts. Except for "art house films", the predicted distribution is indistinguishable from the actual revenues. The second mechanism is based on guesses of the guesses of others and applied when incentives for accuracy could not be used. It tested well against data and contains information not encompassed by the first mechanism.

description: We study multiple-unit, laboratory experimental call markets in which orders are cleared by a single price at a scheduled "call". The markets are independent trading "days" with two calls each day preceded by continuous and public order flow. Markets approach the competitive equilibrium over time. The price formation dynamics operate through the flow of bids and asks configured as the "jaws" of the order book with contract execution structured by an underlying mathematical principle, the Newton method for solving systems of equations. Thus, both excess demand and its slope play a systematic role in call market price discovery.

Stochastic Choice and Preferences for Randomization
Creators: name: Agranov, Marina
name: Ortoleva, Pietro
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2015
Subjects: Stochastic Choice, Random Utility, Mistakes, Hedging

description: We conduct an experiment to investigate the origin of stochastic choice and to differentiate between the three main classes of models that account for it: Random Expected Utility; Mistakes; and Deliberate Randomization. Subjects face the same questions multiple times in two ways: 1) following the literature, with repetitions distant from each other; 2) in a novel treatment, with repetitions in a row, telling subjects that questions will be repeated. A large majority of subjects exhibited stochastic choice in both cases, and stochasticity is strongly correlated in the two cases. Our results support the class of models of Deliberate Randomization.

Flip-Flopping, Primary Visibility and the Selection of Candidates
Creators: name: Agranov, Marina
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2012
Subjects: primaries, information transmission, strategic voting

description: We present an incomplete information model of two-stage elections in which candidates can choose different platforms in primaries and general elections.  Voters do not  directly  observe  the  chosen  platforms,  but  infer  the  candidates' ideologies  from observing candidates' campaigns.  The ability of voters to detect candidates' types depends on the visibility of the race.  This model captures two patterns: the post-primary moderation effect, in which candidates pander to the party base during the primary and shift to the center in the general election; and the divisive-primary effect, which refers to the detrimental effect of hard-fought primaries on a party's general-election prospects.

Fig. 9 c, f
Diagnostic features.
Small specimen (l × w × h; 45 × 32 × 25 mm) with magenta color in life and pale white in alcohol. Massive shape with large osculum. Ectosomal skeleton shows multispicular fiber tracts. Spicules are oxeas, larger oxeas 102–130.9 (116.1) × 3.8–6.5 (5) µm (n = 24), and thin oxeas 78.4–114.4 (96.8) × 1.3–4.1 (2.5) µm (n = 20). Rounded meshes formed by the spicules characterized those species as belonging to the subgenus Soestella (de Weerdt 2000). However, due to differences in color and variation of the macro-morphology, it can be distinguished from Haliclona (Soestella) elegantia.
Distribution and ecology.
West Kayangan Island and Gusung Tallang Island, the Spermonde Archipelago; turbid environment.

What Makes Voters Turn Out: The Effects of Polls and Beliefs

description: We use laboratory experiments to test for one of the foundations of the rational voter paradigm { that voters respond to probabilities of being pivotal.  We exploit a
setup that entails stark theoretical effects of information concerning the preference distribution (as revealed through polls) on costly participation decisions.  We find
that voting propensity increases systematically with subjects' predictions of their preferred alternative's advantage.  Consequently,  pre-election polls do not exhibit the detrimental welfare effects that extant theoretical work predicts.  They lead to more participation by the expected majority and generate more landslide elections.

Static and Dynamic Underinvestment: an  Experimental Investigation

name: Frechette, Guillaume
name: Vespa, Emanuel
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2015

description: In this paper we design a stylized version of an environment with public goods, dynamic linkages, and legislative bargaining. Our theoretical framework studies the provision of a durable public good as a modified version of Battaglini et al. (2012). We develop an experimental design that allows us to disentangle inefficiencies that would result in a one-shot world (static inefficiencies) from extra inefficiencies that emerge in an environment in which decisions in the present affect the future (dynamic inefficiencies). We solve for efficiency and also characterize the bargaining equilibrium, a symmetric stationary subgame-perfect equilibrium, which is the most common concept used in applied work. The experimental results indicate that subjects do react to dynamic linkages and, as such, we find evidence of both static and dynamic inefficiencies.
In fact, the quantitative predictions of the model with respect to the share of dynamic inefficiencies are closest to the data when dynamic linkages are high. To the extent that behavior is different from what is predicted by the model, a systematic pattern emerges, namely the use of strategic cooperation whereby subjects increase the efficiency of period one proposals by selectively punishing, in period two, subjects who did not propose efficient allocations.

Transparency Versus Back-Room Deals in Bargaining
Creators: name: Agranov, Marina
name: Tergiman, Chloe
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2014

description: We design an experiment to study the effects of transparency on bargaining processes. We show that whether transparency arises endogenously depends on the degree of competition between subjects. In a competitive setting there is no transparency: subjects use private communication channels to compete for favors from those in power and establish backroom deals. In the absence of competition the bargaining process is transparent: subjects communicate publicly and outcomes are more egalitarian. We further show that in a competitive setting, imposing transparency by requiring all communication to be public reduces the observed competition between subjects and leads to more egalitarian outcomes.

The Political Economy of Public Debt: A Laboratory Study

Laboratory Experiments

description: This paper reports the results from a laboratory experiment designed to study political distortions in the accumulation of public debt. A legislature bargains over the levels of a public good and of district specific transfers in two periods. The legislature can issue or purchase risk-free bonds in the first period and the level of public debt creates a dynamic linkage across policymaking periods. In line with the theoretical predictions, we find that public policies are inefficient and efficiency is increasing in the size of the majority requirement, with higher investment in public goods and lower debt associated with larger majority requirements. Also in line with the theory, we find that debt is lower when the probability of a negative shock to the economy in the second period is higher, evidence that legislators use debt to smooth consumption. The experiment also highlights two phenomena that are not predicted by standard theories and have not been previously documented. First, balancing the budget in each period appears to be a focal point for some legislators, leading to lower distortions than predicted. Second, higher majority requirements induce significant delays in reaching an agreement.

Amphimedon paraviridis

description: Amphimedon paraviridis Fromont, 1993
Fig. 10
Diagnostic features.
Encrusting and soft, with small oscula and scattered ostia on the surface. Pale green in life and turning brown in alcohol. Skeleton isotropic reticulation arranged by oxeas 155–194 (173.5) × 5.9–8.1 (7.2) µm. Amphimedon paraviridis has similarities with Amphimedon viridis Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864 from the Caribbean Sea. However, the holotype of A. paraviridis (from the Great Barrier Reef) has thicker spicules, a much greater spongin component, thicker fibers, and larger mesh spaces compared to A. viridis (Fromont 1993). Only three species of Amphimedon have been reported from the marine ecoregions of Indonesia (Putra et al. 2023), including Amphimedon anastomosa Calcinai et al., 2017, Amphimedon zamboangae (Lévi, 1961), and Amphimedon denhartogi de Voogd, 2003.
Distribution and ecology.
Previously reported from Australia (Fromont 1993). This is first record of Amphimedon paraviridis from Samalona Island, the Spermonde Archipelago. Reef flat, overgrowing another sponge, Clathria (Thalysias) reinwardti Vosmaer, 1880.

How Cheap Talk Enhances Efficiency in Public Goods Games
Creators: name: Palfrey, Thomas R.

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2015
Subjects: Communication, cheap talk, message space, public good provision

description: This paper uses a Bayesian mechanism design approach to investigate the effects of communication in a threshold public goods game. Individuals have private information about contribution costs. If at least some fraction of the group make a discrete contribution, a public benefit accrues to all members of the group. We experimentally implement three different communication structures prior to the decision move: (a) simultaneous exchange of binary messages, (b) larger finite numerical message space and (c) unrestricted text chat. We obtain theoretical bounds on the efficiency gains that are obtainable under these different communication structures. In an experiment with three person groups and a threshold of two, we observe significant efficiency gains only with the richest of these communication structures, where participants engage in unrestricted text chatting. In that case, the efficiency bounds implied by mechanism design theory are achieved.
