description: Recent years have seen a huge increase in the amount of data collected from multiple sources: mobile phones are ubiquitous, social networks are widely used, cities are more and more connected and the mobility of people and goods has risen to a global scale. The Big Data Era has opened the doors to new kinds of studies that were unthinkable with previous qualitative methods: human behavior can now be analyzed with a fine-grained resolution, patterns of mobility and behavior can be extracted from the incredible amount of data collected every day. Modern large cities are becoming more and more interconnected and this phenomenon leads to an increasing communication and activities? synchronization. Due to the amount of data available or for anonymization reasons, it is often necessary to aggregate data spatially and temporally. A natural representation of clustered mobility data is the temporal network representation. In this thesis we focus on these two aspects of spatial distance in human mobility: (i) we study the synchronization of 76 Italian cities, using mobile phone data, showing that both distance between cities and city size determine the synchronization in communication rhythms. Moreover, we show that the effect of the distance in synchronization decreases when the size of the city increases; (ii) we investigate how clustering continuous spatio-temporal data affects spatio-temporal network measures for real-life and synthetic datasets and analyze how spatio-temporal networks? measures vary at different aggregation levels.

Testable Implications of Bargaining Theories

Subjects: Revealed Preference, Nash Bargaining, Utilitarian Solution, Egalitarian Solution

description: We develop the testable implications of well-known theories of bargaining over money.  Given a finite data set of bargaining outcomes, where utility functions are unknown, we ask if a given theory could have generated the observations. When the data come with a fixed disagreement point, we show that the Nash, utilitarian, and the egalitarian max-min bargaining solutions are all observationally equivalent. These theories are in turn characterized by a simple test of comonotonicity of bargaining outcomes.

When the disagreement point is allowed to vary, we characterize the testable implications of the equal gain/loss egalitarian solution. The main application of our result is to testing the tax code for compliance with the principle of equal loss. For other theories, we introduce a general method based on the study of real solutions to systems of polynomial inequalities.

Karoo Foursstriped Grass Rat
Rhabdomys intermedius
French: Rhabdomys du Karoo / German: Karoo-Vierstreifengrasmaus / Spanish: Rata de hierba de cuatro listas de Karoo
Other common names: Karoo Rhabdomys
Taxonomy. Arvicanthis pumilio interme-dius Wroughton, 1905,
Deelfontein, N of Richmond, central Karoo, Northern Cape Province, South Africa.
Rhabdomys intermedius was recently split from R. pumilio on molecular grounds;it is parapatric with latter species and with R. bechuanae, R. chakae, and R. dilectus. Monotypic.
Distribution. A narrow band through the semiarid Nama Karoo of South Africa.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 96-135 mm, tail 90-121 mm, ear 12-15 mm, hindfoot 22-27 mm; weight 28-64 g. A small rodent with longitudinal black and cream stripes, the Karoo Four-striped Grass Rat is similar morphologically to other Rhabdomys species but with background color paler than that of mesic species. Fur is coarse, yellowish brown to speckled buff above, paler below. It has no mid-dorsal stripe, but instead two lateral cream-colored broad stripes, each bordered by two black stripes, extend from between ears to base of tail. Head is of same color as back, with black median stripe from between ears to between eyes. Nose, chin, throat, and abdomen are paler than above. Ears are densely covered with short reddish-brown hairs. Forefeet are paler than dorsal fur, soles darkly pigmented. Tail is comparatively long (c.96% of headbody length), sparsely haired, bicolored, black above and yellowish brown or gray below. Females have 2+2 = 4 pairs of nipples.
Habitat. Karoo shrubs and bushes.
Food and Feeding. In the Nama Karoo Desert, the diet varies temporally and spatially, comprising mostly foliage but also seeds and insects. This contrasts with diet of desert rodents in North America and Israel, where seeds are very important.
Breeding. No information.

description: Hymeraphia vaceleti sp. nov. Morrow
(Figure 3 a–b)
Material examined: The holotype of Hymeraphia vaceleti sp. nov. (BELUM Mc2018.1) was collected during cruise CE13008, R.V. Celtic Explorer using the ROV Holland I, southwest off Ireland, 48.583, -10.46, 14/06/2013, 1541 m depth.
Diagnosis: Hymeraphia with markedly bent acanthostyles with a large crown of stellate spines at their distal end.
Holotype description: Thin encrustation measuring 8mm x 5 mm x 1.5 mm, growing on dead Desmophyllum pertusum (Linnaeus, 1758). Long tylostyles project through surface giving hispid appearance. Consistency soft and compressible. Colour white in ethanol.
Skeleton: Choanosomal skeleton with hymedesmoid arrangement consisting of a basal membrane attached to substratum, bases of echinating acanthostyles and long tylostyles embedded in membrane and arranged perpendicular to it. Long tylostyles protrude a long way through ectosome, surrounded by bouquets of very fine hair-like, ectosomal styles.
Spicules: Tylostyles are long and thin, gently curving and tapering to a fine point, with an asymmetric base, occasionally base is subtylote (125– 690 – 2000 x 7– 10 –12 µm n=3). Echinating acanthostyles have a markedly bent, slightly inflated smooth base, base frequently subtylote. Distal ends of acanthostyles have a large stellate crown composed of approximately 16 spines (acanthostyle length = 57– 69 –83 µm; base = 7– 10 –12.5 µm; crown = 12– 29 –45 µm n =20). Ectosomal styles, very fine and hair-like (340– 415 –460 µm x 1–2 µm n=20). See Fig. 2 for spicule morphology and Table 2 for spicule dimensions.
Etymology: The specific epithet vaceleti is given in honour of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Jean Vacelet, for the friendship and encouragement he has consistently shown and for his overwhelming contribution to sponge science.
Remarks: Hymeraphia vaceleti sp. nov. differs from other species of Hymeraphia by the distinctive acanthostyles which are shorter than those of the other congeners and have a much larger stellate crown of spines. The shaft of the acanthostyle is markedly bent just above the tylote base (Table 1).

P. i b i c u i Lugo­Ortiz & McCafferty, 1996: 167.
Nymph. This species was described by Lugo­Ortiz & McCafferty (1996) from Paraguay. We collected new material assignable to this species that present two character differences from the original description. The longitudinal dark brown band on abdominal segments I–IX is absent and the tarsal claws have two rows of 5–6 small denticles basally and 3–5 larger denticles distally (Fig. 47). Additional new characters include, antennae long, 3.5–4 times the width of head capsule; maxillary palpi 1.5–1.6 times the length of galea­lacinia (Fig. 44); caudal filaments with crown of spines on each segment, cerci with long spines toward the external margin every two segments basally, and every four segments apically (Fig. 49).
Adult. Unknown.
Discussion. Paracloeodes ibicui can be distinguished from the other species of the genus by the following combination of characters, 1) frontal keel present; 2) antennae long, 3.5–4 times width of head capsule; 3) labrum with short setae dorsally, without a pair of subapical setae near middle (Fig. 40); 4) hypopharynx: lingua shorter than superlingua and slightly projected apically (Fig. 43); 5) left mandible with external margin straight (Fig. 41), right mandible with external margin convex (Fig. 42); 6) maxillary palpi 1.5–1.6 times the length of galea­lacinia (Fig. 44); 7) segment II of labial palpi with rounded distomedial projection, 2.25 times width of segment III (Fig. 45); 8) ventral edge of femora and tarsi with bipectinate spines (Fig. 46); 9) femora with a transverse dark band subapically (Fig. 46); 10) hind wing pads present; 11) tarsal claws 0.4 times the length of tarsi (Fig. 46), with two rows of 5–6 small denticles basally and 3–5 larger denticles distally (Fig. 47); 12) posterior margin of abdominal terga with spines 2.5 times longer than wide (as in Fig. 36); 13) gills with main branch of trachea and a few secondary branches pigmented (Fig. 48); 14) cerci with long spines toward the external margin every two segments basally, and every four segments apically (Fig. 49).

description: We extend the Luce model of discrete choice theory to satisfactorily handle zero-probability choices.  The Luce model (or the Logit model) is the most widely applied and used model in stochastic choice, but it struggles  to explain choices that are never made.  The Luce model requires that if an alternative y is never chosen when x is available, then there is no set of alternatives from which y is chosen with positive probability: y cannot be chose, if from sets of alternatives that exclude x.  We relax this assumption.  In our model, if an alternative y is never chosen when x is available, then we infer that y is dominated by x.  While dominated by x, y may still be chosen with positive probability - even with high probability - when grouped with a comparable set of alternatives.

Data were sourced from the published Annual Financial Statements of five food and beverage manufacturing firms listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group over a ten-year period (2008-2017).The study employed ex-post facto research design. Panel data analysis was with Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator model. The results from the fixed regression model reveal that turnover exhibited a positive but non-significant effect on cash holding, while total assets showed a negative but significant impact. These findings underscored the influence of firm size on cash management practices within the food and beverage industry in Nigeria, suggesting the importance of maintaining optimal cash levels to meet immediate financial needs while ensuring long-term solvency. It was concluded that a significant correlation exist between firm size and cash holding decisions. The study recommended, among others, that firms should carefully plan their total asset to enhance productivity and control acquisition costs

description: This paper characterizes interim efficient mechanisms for public good production and
cost allocation in a two-type environment with risk neutral, quasi-linear preferences and
fixed size projects, where the distribution of the private good, as well as the public
goods decision, affects social welfare. An efficient public good decision can always be
accomplished by a majority voting scheme, where the number of "YES" votes required
depends on the welfare weights in a simple way. The results are shown to have a natural
geometry and an intuitive interpretation. We also extend these results to allow for
restrictions on feasible transfer rules, ranging from the traditional unlimited transfers to
the extreme case of no transfers.

For a range of welfare weights, an optimal scheme is a two-stage procedure which
combines a voting stage with a second stage where an even-chance lottery is used to
determine who pays. We call this the "lottery draft mechanism". Since such a costsharing
scheme does not require transfers, it follows that in many cases transfers are
not necessary to achieve the optimal allocation. For other ranges of welfare weights
the second stage is more complicated, but the voting stage remains the same. If transfers
are completely infeasible, randomized voting rules may be optimal. The paper also
provides a geometric characterization of the effects of voluntary participation constraints.

description: The US-Soviet arms race entered a new stage in the late 1970s and early 1980s which created a revolution in military-technological affairs including new weapons systems possessing revolutionary levels of sophistication. The rapid development and acquisition of these weapons systems by the United States created pressure on the Soviet Union to continue the economically debilitating arms race. By 1985, in the midst of this military-technical revolution, Mikhail S. Gorbachev began his reform of Soviet system, including Soviet military doctrine, creating pressure on the Soviet military. These two pressures on the Soviet military are the subject of this thesis. How were these two pressures for change reflected in the Soviet military of the late 1980s and early 1990s? This thesis relies primarily on Soviet military, political and civilian writers for source material. It also includes US government documents and Western journals on the subject of Soviet-American military relations.

Mass Transport Approach (MTA)

description: Using results from convex analysis, we investigate a novel approach to identification and estimation of discrete choice models which we call the "Mass Transport Approach" (MTA). We show that the conditional choice probabilities and the choice-specific payoffs in these models are related in the sense of conjugate duality, and that the identification problem is a mass transport problem. Based on this, we propose a new two-step estimator for these models; interestingly, the first step of our estimator involves solving a linear program which is identical to the classic assignment (two-sided matching) game of Shapley and Shubik (1971). The application of convex-analytic tools to dynamic discrete choice models, and the connection with two-sided matching models, is new in the literature.

To Score or Not to Score? Estimates of a Sponsored Search Auction Model

description: We estimate a structural model of a sponsored search auction model.  To accomodate the "position paradox", we relax the assumption of decreasing click volumes with position ranks, which is often assumed in the literature.  Using data from "Website X", one of the largest online market places in China, we find that merchants of different qualities adopt different bidding strategies: high quality merchants bid more aggressively for informative keywords, while low quality merchants are more likely to be sorted to the top positions for value keywords.  Counterfactual evaluations show that the price trend becomes steeper after moving to a score-weighted generalized second price auction, with much higher prices obtained for the top position but lower prices for the other positions.  Overall, there is only a very modest change in total revenue from introducing popularity scoring, despite the intent in bid scoring to reward popular merchants with price discounts.

description: The article examines the risk factors of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and their impact on cardiovascular health. The study identifies the significance of both non-modifiable factors (gender, age, genetic predisposition) and modifiable factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, physical activity, stress) in the development of IHD. Men aged 30 to 60 are found to be the most vulnerable. Harmful habits, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, are highlighted as major negative factors. The importance of a healthy lifestyle and regular medical check-ups is emphasized. A comprehensive approach to the prevention and treatment of IHD is presented as a key aspect of combating this disease. The analysis underscores the need for continued efforts in this area to reduce morbidity and mortality rates.
Estimating Multinomial Choice Models using Cyclic Monotonicity

Subjects: Cyclic Monotonicity, Multinomial Choice, Panel Data, Fixed Effects

description: This paper proposes a new identification and estimation approach to semi-parametric multinomial choice models that easily applies to not only cross-sectional settings but also panel data settings with unobservable fixed effects. Our approach is based on cyclic monotonicity, which is a defining feature of the random utility framework underlying multinomial choice models. From the cyclic monotonicity property, we derive identifying
inequalities without requiring any shape restriction for the distribution of the random utility shocks. These inequalities point identify model parameters under straightforward assumptions on the covariates. We propose a consistent estimator based on these inequalities, and apply it to a panel data set to study the determinants of the demand of bathroom tissue.

description: We present the critical role of PIDs in enhancing data citation and reusing research data at granular levels. It highlights the efforts of the KonsortSWD consortium, part of Germany's National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), in implementing the PID Registration Service. The discussion focuses on PIDs as stable, unique references that address challenges in data citation, such as dataset versioning and accessing specific elements like variables, questions, and excerpts.

The presentation outlines the development of the PID registration service, designed to assign PIDs below the study and dataset level, emphasizing its application in diverse use cases within social sciences and economics. Additionally, it introduces knowledge graphs and controlled vocabularies to map relations between variables across studies and waves, fostering semantic richness and interoperability. The talk concludes with practical benefits for researchers and data providers, along with future directions to extend PID services to other data types, such as qualitative data.

Testing the Quantal Response Hypothesis

Year: 2014
Subjects: quantal response equilibrium, cyclic monotonicity, lab experiment

description: This paper develops a formal test for consistency of players' behavior in a series of games with the quantal response equilibrium (QRE). The test exploits a characterization of the equilibrium choice probabilities in a QRE as the gradient of a convex function, which thus satisfies the cyclic monotonicity inequalities. Our testing procedure utilizes
recent econometric results for moment inequality models. We assess the performance of the test using both Monte Carlo simulation and lab experimental data from a series of generalized matching pennies games. Our experimental findings are consistent with the literature: the joint hypothesis of QRE, risk neutrality and player role homogeneity is rejected in the pooled data, but cannot be rejected in the individual data for over half of the subjects. By considering subsets of cycle monotonicity inequalities, our approach also highlights the nature of QRE consistency violations.

description: We introduce sparse random projection, an important dimension-reduction tool from machine learning, for the estimation of discrete-choice models with high-dimensional choice sets. Initially, the high-dimensional data are compressed into a lower-dimensional Euclidean space using random projections. Subsequently, estimation proceeds using cyclic monotonicity moment inequalities implied by the multinomial choice model; the estimation procedure is semi-parametric and does not require explicit distributional assumptions to be made regarding the random utility errors. The random projection procedure is justified via the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma: - the pairwise distances between data points are preserved during data compression, which we exploit to show convergence of our estimator. The estimator works well in a computational simulation and in a application to a supermarket scanner dataset.
