description: Among men who have sex with men (MSM), the co-occurrence of trauma and stimulant use has negative implications for HIV/AIDS prevention. HIV-positive, methamphetamine-using MSM were recruited to pilot test a 7-session, multicomponent resilient affective processing (RAP) intervention that included expressive writing exercises targeting HIV-related traumatic stress. An open-phase pilot with 10 participants provided support for feasibility of intervention delivery such that 99% of the RAP sessions were completed in a 1-month period. Subsequently, 23 additional participants were enrolled in a pilot randomized controlled trial of the RAP intervention (n = 12) versus an attention-control condition that included writing exercises about neutral topics (n = 11). Acceptability was evidenced by participants randomized to RAP expressing significantly more negative emotions in their writing and reporting greater likelihood of recommending expressive writing exercises to a friend living with HIV. Over the 3-month follow-up period, attention-control participants reported significant decreases in HIV-related traumatic stress while RAP intervention participants reported no significant changes. Compared to attention-control participants, those in the RAP intervention reported significant reductions in the frequency of methamphetamine use immediately following the 1-month RAP intervention period. Thematic analyses of RAP expressive writing exercises revealed that multiple negative life events characterized by social stigma or loss contribute to the complex nature of HIV-related traumatic stress. Findings support the feasibility and acceptability of an exposure-based intervention targeting HIV-related traumatic stress. However, more intensive intervention approaches that simultaneously target trauma and stimulant use will likely be needed to optimize HIV/AIDS prevention efforts with this population.
Excited Baryon Production and Decays

description: We consider decays of the lowest-lying positive parity 56-plet and negative parity bf 70-plet excited baryons. For the 70-plet, we include both single-quark and two-quark decay operators, and find, somewhat mysteriously, that the two-quark operators are not phenomenologically important. Studies of decays 70-plet to Delta(1232) + photon may strengthen or vitiate this observation. For the 56-plet decays, now using only the single-quark operator, we can predict many strong decays after fitting parameters on the assumption that the Roper is a 3q state. Comparison of these predictions to experiment can verify the structure of the 56-plet. As a sidelight, we show a large N_c derivation of the old Gursey-Radicati mass formula.

description: In this paper, we attempt to further study the heat engine efficiency for the regular black hole (BH) with an anti-de Sitter (AdS) background where the working material is the Hayward-AdS (HAdS) BH. In the extended phase space, we investigate the heat engine efficiency of the HAdS BH by defining the cosmological constant as the thermodynamic pressure $P$ and deriving the mechanical work from the $PdV$ terms. Then, we obtain the relation between the efficiency and the entropy/pressure and plot these function figures. Meanwhile, we compare the relation between the HAdS BH with that of the Bardeen-AdS (BAdS) BH, which is found that the efficiency of the HAdS BH increase with increase the magnetic charge $q$ in contrast to that of the BAdS BH decrease with increase the magnetic charge $q$. We found that the HAdS BH is more efficient than the BAdS BH, and guess that is related to the BH structure.

description: Let $\ell$ be a prime divisor of the order of a finite unitary reflection group. We classify up to conjugacy the parabolic and reflection subgroups that are minimal with respect to inclusion, subject to containing an $\ell$-Sylow subgroup. The classification assists in describing the $\ell$-Sylow subgroups of unitary reflection groups up to group isomorphism. This classification also relates to the modular representation theory of finite groups of Lie type. We observe that unless a parabolic subgroup minimally containing an $\ell$-Sylow subgroup is $G$ itself, the reflection subgroup within the parabolic minimally containing an $\ell$-Sylow subgroup is the whole parabolic subgroup.

Building Bridges in Australian Criminal Law: Codification and the Common Law

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article seeks to promote effective discourse across the divide that exists in Australian criminal law between code and common law jurisdictions. It proposes two ways in which the pervasive, reifi ed dichotomy — ‘code’/’common law’ — can be rethought. First, certain barely articulated but well-known assumptions that help to maintain the dichotomy are re-examined. It is argued that the fi xed ideas that the common law is fl exible and a ‘richer’ or more nuanced law, while codes are rigid and ‘mechanistic’, are in critical respects wrong and entrench the divide. Second, the settled orthodoxy that codes should be interpreted by applying ‘special rules’ of interpretation is challenged. It is argued that these special rules can be seen, when examined, to be less than useful, and inconsistent with constitutional principles. Exactly the same principles of interpretation apply to all criminal statutes. Re-thinking in these ways brings all nine Australian jurisdictions into the same legal landscape.
Filtered Dark Matter at a First Order Phase Transition

description: We describe a new mechanism of dark matter production in the early Universe, based on the dynamics of a first order phase transition. We assume that dark matter particles acquire mass during the phase transition, making it energetically unfavourable for them to enter the expanding bubbles of the massive phase. Instead, most of them are reflected off the advancing bubble walls and quickly annihilate away in the massless phase. The bubbles eventually merge as the phase transition is completed, and only the dark matter particles which have entered the bubbles survive to constitute the observed dark matter today. This mechanism can produce dark matter with masses from the GeV scale to above the PeV scale, including a large region of viable parameter space beyond the Griest--Kamionkowski bound. Current and future direct detection and collider experiments can probe much of the viable parameter space.

description: Quark number susceptibilities approach their ideal gas limit at sufficiently high temperatures. As in the case of other thermodynamic quantities, this limit itself is altered substantially on lattices with small temporal extent, N_t = 4-8, making it thus difficult to check the validity of perturbation theory. Unlike other observables, improving susceptibilities or number densities is subject to constraints of current conservation and absence of chemical potential dependent divergences. We construct such an improved number density and susceptibility for staggered fermions and show that they approximate the continuum ideal gas limit better on small temporal lattices.

description: HIV-prevention efforts with gay men in relationships frequently omit primary partners. When they are considered, examinations of race/ethnicity are often overlooked despite higher infection rates among gay men of colour. Acknowledging both the need to contextualise the behaviours that may affect HIV risk for gay men of colour and the disproportionate impact of HIV on Latino gay men, the present study utilised semi-structured, qualitative interviews to explore relationship dynamics, sexual agreements and behaviours, safer sex choices and HIV risk among nine Latino gay male couples. All participants were HIV-negative and in concordant negative relationships. Additionally, nearly all reported closed agreements. Analysis revealed participants engaging in four behaviours that may actively reduce their HIV risk: approaching sexual agreements from a practical standpoint, maintaining a high literacy around HIV, having exposure to social support groups for Latino gay men and finding support in their relationship with another Latino gay man. Additional issues are raised where long-term HIV prevention is concerned. Intimate relationships are an important context for understanding both HIV risk and prevention among Latino gay men. Likewise, race/ethnicity provides an indispensable perspective on all research with gay couples. Future prevention efforts with gay men must strive to include both.

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This paper examines trends in co-authorship in the Group of Eight (Go8) law reviews over the period 1975 to 2010. Several conclusions emerge. First, co-authorship occurs less in legal scholarship than in other disciplines. Second, co-authorship in Australian legal scholarship is less than in legal scholarship in the United States. Third, in terms of gender differences, males collaborate more than females. Fourth, academics at the leading law schools provide a disproportionate number of co-authored articles in the Go8 law reviews. Fifth, there is a positive correlation between co-authorship and publishing in the top Australian law journals. Between a quarter and a third of those who co-authored three or more articles in the Go8 law reviews were also those who published the most in the top Australian law journals over the period 1990–2010.

OBJECTIVE: Early COVID-19 eating disorders (EDs) research used regionally restricted samples with little sociodemographic diversity. The present study aimed to address these research gaps by examining whether pandemic-related changes in ED symptoms and mental healthcare prevalence differed for historically marginalized groups within a national sample of US college students. METHOD: Participants included 242,906 US college students (Mage  = 23.45, SD = 7.04; MBMI  = 25.28, SD = 5.91) who completed the repeated cross-sectional multi-institute Healthy Minds Study between January 2019 and May 2021. Moderated logistic regressions examined whether pandemic-related changes in individuals' likelihoods of exhibiting current probable ED, reporting lifetime ED diagnoses, and-among individuals with current probable ED-mental healthcare engagement differed for diverse gender, sexual, and racial/ethnic identity groups, and by body mass index (BMI) and financial stress. RESULTS: There were increases of 5% and 12% in individuals' likelihoods of exhibiting current probable ED and symptomatic individuals' mental healthcare engagement, respectively, pre- to post-COVID-19 onset, but no pandemic-related changes in lifetime ED diagnosis prevalence. There were also important variations in these time-trends for different marginalized groups. For example, individuals identifying as genderqueer/gender nonconforming and lesbian exhibited increasing ED symptoms pre- to post-COVID-19 onset, and individuals with current probable ED and higher BMIs were increasingly likely to receive mental healthcare. Associations between financial stress, and the ED and mental healthcare outcomes did not change over time. DISCUSSION: These findings provide insight into groups of US college students that experienced disproportionate ED burden during the pandemic at the population level, and directions for research and interventions that warrant consideration.
Misconduct of Australian Lawyers under Legislation Based on the National Model – Aligning the Common Law Tests with the New Statutory Regime
Creators: name: Edmonds, Chris
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Under a recent Model Bill providing for the regulation of the Australian legal profession, statutory misconduct of lawyers is described as ‘unsatisfactory professional conduct’ and ‘professional misconduct’. These terms have been in use over the past decade or so in legislation in various Australian jurisdictions and now uniformly appear in state and territory Acts based upon the Model Bill. These statutory terms as such are not substantively defi ned but certain conduct is included within the ‘defi nitions’, namely a lack of competence and diligence and conduct evidencing unfi tness to practice, and instances of both forms of statutory misconduct are provided. The courts have in the past determined whether conduct constitutes statutory professional misconduct by reference to the common law test of disgraceful conduct formulated in Allinson v General Council of Medical Education and Registration. Similarly, they have determined whether conduct constitutes statutory unprofessional conduct by reference to the common law test of conduct falling short formulated in Re R, A Practitioner of the Supreme Court. An issue arising generally and from the inclusive defi nitions of the statutory terms under the current legislation is whether it remains appropriate for courts and disciplinary tribunals to continue to apply these common law tests in determining whether the conduct under consideration constitutes professional misconduct and unsatisfactory professional conduct, respectively. The principal aim of this article is to demonstrate by reference to the language of and policies underlying the new legislation that neither test is apt for that purpose and that a new approach is required.

description: The purpose of this letter is to explore the relation between gauge fields, which are at the base of our understanding of fundamental interactions, and the quantum entanglement. To this end, we investigate the case of ${\rm SU}(2)$ gauge fields. It is first argued that holonomies of the ${\rm SU}(2)$ gauge fields are naturally associated with maximally entangled two-particle states. Then, we provide some evidence that the notion of such gauge fields can be deduced from the transformation properties of maximally entangled two-particle states. This new insight unveils a possible relation between gauge fields and spin systems, as well as contributes to understanding of the relation between tensor networks (such as MERA) and spin network states considered in loop quantum gravity. In consequence, our results turn out to be relevant in the context of the emerging Entanglement/Gravity duality.

description: We analyze a model based on SUSY SO(10) combined with SU(2) family symmetry and symmetric mass matrices constructed by the authors recently. Previously, only the parameter space for the LOW and vacuum oscillation (VO) solutions was investigated. We indicate in this note the parameter space which leads to large mixing angle (LMA) solution to the solar neutrino problem with a slightly modified effective neutrino mass matrix. The symmetric mass textures arising from the left-right symmetry breaking and the SU(2) symmetry breaking give rise to very good predictions for the quark and lepton masses and mixing angles. The prediction of our model for the |U_{eν_{3}}| element in the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (MNS) matrix is close to the sensitivity of current experiments; thus the validity of our model can be tested in the near future. We also investigate the correlation between the |U_{eν_{3}}| element and \tan^{2}θ_{\odot} in a general two-zero neutrino mass texture.

description: Contingency management (CM) is an evidence-based intervention that provides tangible rewards as positive reinforcement for biologically confirmed abstinence from substance use. Integrative approaches targeting positive affect regulation could boost the effectiveness of CM by sensitizing individuals to non-drug-related sources of reward and assisting them with effectively managing symptoms of withdrawal. This pilot randomized controlled trial with 21 methamphetamine-using men who have sex with men (MSM) examined the feasibility and acceptability of a 5-session, positive affect intervention delivered during CM-Affect Regulation Treatment to Enhance Methamphetamine Intervention Success (ARTEMIS). After completing 4 weeks of a 12-week CM program, participants were randomized to receive ARTEMIS+CM (n = 12) or CM-only (n = 9). Those randomized to receive the ARTEMIS positive affect intervention completed 98 % of sessions and reported marginally significant increases in positive affect over the five sessions. In exit interviews with ARTEMIS+CM participants, individuals noted that the positive affect regulation skills increased self-awareness and led to greater engagement in the recovery process. ARTEMIS+CM participants reported significant increases in positive affect and CM-only participants reported significant reductions in negative affect over a 2-month follow-up. These affective changes were not maintained, and no concurrent effects on stimulant use or sexual risk taking were observed over the 6-month follow-up. More definitive clinical research is necessary to examine the efficacy of ARTEMIS+CM with methamphetamine-using MSM.

description: A promising route to realize entangled magnetic states combines geometrical frustration with quantum-tunneling effects. Spin-ice materials are canonical examples of frustration, and Ising spins in a transverse magnetic field are the simplest many-body model of quantum tunneling. Here, we show that the tripod kagome lattice material Ho${_3}$Mg${_2}$Sb${_3}$O${_{14}}$ unites an ice-like magnetic degeneracy with quantum-tunneling terms generated by an intrinsic splitting of the Ho$^{3+}$ ground-state doublet, which is further coupled to a nuclear spin bath. Using neutron scattering and thermodynamic experiments, we observe a symmetry-breaking transition at $T^{\ast}\approx0.32$ K to a remarkable state with three peculiarities: a concurrent recovery of magnetic entropy associated with the strongly coupled electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom; a fragmentation of the spin into periodic and ice-like components; and persistent inelastic magnetic excitations down to $T\approx0.12$ K. These observations deviate from expectations of classical spin fragmentation on a kagome lattice, but can be understood within a model of dipolar kagome ice under a homogeneous transverse magnetic field, which we survey with exact diagonalization on small clusters and mean-field calculations. In Ho${_3}$Mg${_2}$Sb${_3}$O${_{14}}$, hyperfine interactions dramatically alter the single-ion and collective properties, and suppress possible quantum correlations, rendering the fragmentation with predominantly single-ion quantum fluctuations. Our results highlight the crucial role played by hyperfine interactions in frustrated quantum magnets, and motivate further investigations of the role of quantum fluctuations on partially-ordered magnetic states.

description: We consider the equilibria of point particles under the action of two body central forces in which there are both repulsive and attractive interactions, often known as central configurations, with diverse applications in physics, in particular as homothetic time-dependent solutions to Newton's equations of motion and as stationary states in the One Component Plasma model. Concentrating mainly on the case of an inverse square law balanced by a linear force, we compute numerically equilibria and their statistical properties. When all the masses (or charges) of the particles are equal, for small numbers of points they are regular convex deltahedra, which on increasing the number of points give way to a multi-shell structure. In the limit of a large number of points we argue using an analytic model that they form a homogeneous spherical distribution of points, whose spatial distribution appears, from our preliminary investigation, to be similar to that of a Bernal hard-sphere liquid.

description: With extensive monitoring data spanning over 30 years from Vela 5B, Ariel 5, Ginga, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and BeppoSAX, we find evidence for long-term X-ray variability on timescales ~190-240 d from the black hole low-mass X-ray binary system GX 339-4. Such variability resembles the outburst cycle of Z Cam-type dwarf novae, in which the standard disc instability model plays a crucial role. If such a model is applicable to GX 339-4, then the observed variability might be due to the irradiation of an unstable accretion disc. We show that within the framework of the X-ray irradiation model, when the accretion rate exceeds a critical value, GX 339-4 enters a `flat-topped' high/soft state, such as seen in 1998, which we suggest corresponds to the `standstill' state of Z Cam systems.

The results were obtained from simulations of 3 and 2+1 flavors of standard staggered fermions and 3 flavors of p4 improved staggered fermions. The quark masses used are close to the physical quark mass. To extract the dependence on quark mass and chemical potential we apply a new reweighting technique based on a Taylor expansion of the action. The reweighting accuracy is ${\cal O}(m)$ for the standard and ${\cal O}(m^2)$, ${\cal O}(μ^2)$ for the p4 action.

description: This paper investigates the economic implications of storage behavior under imperfect competition. It evaluates the economic dynamics implied by a storage firm under alternative market structures. This includes perfect competition as well as imperfect competition under Cournot behavior. The conceptual analysis is used to specify and estimate a model of storage behavior, with an econometric application to the US American cheese market. The empirical results provide statistical evidence of non-competitive storage behavior. They show that the exercise of market power contributes to reduced stock fluctuations and increased price instability in the US cheese market.
Unfair Contract Terms: A New Dawn in Australia and New Zealand?

description: Australia finally regulated unfair contract terms under its Australian Consumer Law and New Zealand has included unfair contract terms in its Fair Trading Amendment Act 2013 (NZ), which will come into force on 18 March 2015. Traders will in effect bear the burden of proving that terms are fair by showing that they are reasonably necessary to protect the trader’s legitimate interests. While the regulation of unfair contract terms is welcome, there is concern that the Australian and New Zealand courts may not give proper effect to the provisions and so would allow unfair contract terms to continue to be used. The courts must accept that the classical theory of contract law, in relation to consumers, is dead, and so too is the rational consumer. This paper argues that for the unfair contract term law to achieve the legislatures’ desired outcome of eliminating unfair contract terms in standard form consumer contracts, the courts in both New Zealand and Australia must move from their traditional focus on procedural fairness to addressing substantive fairness and give effect to both the wording and purpose of the provisions. Moreover, there are legislative lapses in both Australia and New Zealand that require urgent attention.

description: Strategic trade theory shows that government intervention in markets with small numbers of traders can boost the welfare of a country relative to free trade. This survey critically assesses the empirical evidence regarding this possibility. One finding is that while many international food and agricultural markets are characterized by oligopoly, price-cost markups tend to be small, and the potential gains from intervention are modest at best. In turn, existing government interventions such as agricultural export subsidies are generally not optimal in a strategic trade sense. The evidence suggests that oligopoly by itself is not a sufficient rationale for deviating from free trade in international markets.

description: A point-of-interest (POI) recommendation system performs an important role in location-based services because it can help people to explore new locations and promote advertisers to launch advertisements at appropriate locations. The existing POI recommendation systems require raw check-in history of users, which might cause location privacy violations. Although there have been several matrix factorization (MF) based privacy-preserving recommendation systems, they can only focus on user-POI relationships without considering the human movements in check-in history. To tackle this problem, we design a successive POI recommendation framework with local differential privacy, named SPIREL. SPIREL uses two types of information derived from the check-in history as input for the factorization: a transition pattern between two POIs and the visit counts of POIs. We propose a novel objective function for learning the user-POI and POI-POI relationships simultaneously. We further integrate local differential privacy mechanisms in our proposed framework to prevent potential location privacy breaches. Experiments using four public datasets demonstrate that SPIREL achieves better POI recommendation quality while accomplishing stronger privacy protection.

description: We consider the class of complete discretely valued fields such that the residue field is of prime characteristic p and the cardinality of a $p$-base is 1. This class includes two-dimensional local and local-global fields. A new definition of ramification filtration for such fields is given. It appears that a Hasse-Herbrand type functions can be defined with all the usual properties. Therefore, a theory of upper ramification groups, as well as the ramification theory of infinite extensions, can be developed. Next, we consider an equal characteristic two-dimensional local field $K$. We introduce some filtration on the second K-group of a given field. This filtration is other than the filtration induced by the valuation. We prove that the reciprocity map of two-dimensional local class field theory identifies this filtration with the ramification filtration.

description: This article investigates a comprehensive assessment of firm strategic behavior under financial market uncertainty. A general theoretical model of market value maximization (MVM) is constructed using a traditional capital asset pricing format. The model built on the nonlinear Almost Ideal Demand Systems (AIDS) and structural first-order conditions is developed. By full information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimation, the model evaluates pricing strategies in the U.S. margarine and butter retail markets using 4-week interval scanner data from 1998 to 2002. The profit maximization model is rejected in favor of the MVM structure, which indicates that financial market uncertainty plays an important role in the pricing behavior of this industry. We estimate the price elasticities of demand for leading brands and investigate the degree of market power in this industry.

The Google Street View Wi-Fi Scandal and Its Repercussions for Privacy Regulation

description: Between 2008 and 2010, Google secretly collected Wi-Fi header data from residential and business Wi-Fi access points throughout the world. The collection also included details of personal communications commonly known as ‘payload data’. A number of regulatory investigations ensued from this global privacy scandal. Some privacy authorities, including the Australian Privacy Commissioner, sanctioned Google for the collection of payload data. However, the header data collection was largely overlooked. Those authorities that investigated the collection of Wi-Fi header data concluded that Google breached relevant privacy laws. As a result, some jurisdictions now classify Wi-Fi header data as personal information whereas others do not. The collection of Wi-Fi header data gives rise to complex policy and privacy considerations as this data is an important asset of new Location-Based Services. Consequently, it is important to revisit the Google scandal to investigate whether Google’s collection of Australian Wi-Fi header data breached the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Our analysis reveals that Google is likely to have breached the Act, which raises important questions about the regulatory actions conducted in Australia and the effi cacy of the Act’s application in the face of continuing and rapid technological development.
Density perturbation in an interacting holographic dark energy model

description: The present work deals with the evolution of the density contrasts for a cosmological model where along with the standard cold dark matter (CDM), the present Universe also contains holographic dark energy (HDE). The characteristic infra-red (IR) cut-off is taken as the future event horizon. The HDE is allowed to interact with the CDM. The equations for the density contrasts are integrated numerically. It is found that irrespective of the presence of an interaction, the matter perturbation has growing modes. The HDE is also found to have growth of perturbation, so very much like the CDM, thus can also cluster. The interesting point to note is that the density contrast corresponding to HDE has a peak at recent past and is decaying at the present epoch. Another feature is that IR cut-off as the event horizon does not naturally produce accelerated expansion of the Universe in the presence of an interaction.

description: In this paper, a two-period game is constructed, where duopoly firms choose advertising strategies in the first period and compete in price or quantity in the second period by maximizing the value of firm equity. Using certainty equivalence, we demonstrate the impacts of uncertainty and modes of competition on duopoly firms' optimal pricing, production, and advertising strategies. Equilibrium price and quantity outcomes emerge as significantly different from the standard industrial organization model of profit maximization. It turns out that the common measurement of market power, the Lerner index, is generally mis-stated. In contrast to the literature, we also find that firms will optimally switch from quantity to price competition either when advertising costs are low, demand is high, or if idiosyncratic risk is reduced. A series of simulations confirm these findings.

description: We investigate the spreading properties of a three-species competition-diffusion system, which is non-cooperative. We apply the Hamilton-Jacobi approach, due to Freidlin, Evans and Souganidis, to establish upper and lower estimates of spreading speed of the slowest species, in terms of the spreading speed of two faster species, and show that the estimates are sharp in some situations. The spreading speed will first be characterized as the free boundary point of the viscosity solution for certain variational inequality cast in the space of speeds. Its exact formulas will then be derived by solving the variational inequality explicitly. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first theoretical result on three-species competition system in unbounded domains.

Az udvari szerző latin nyelvű Krónikája (Chronicon) Hieronymus (Szent Jeromos) 379-ig eljutó krónikakompozíciójának az 534-ig megírt folytatása, amelyet egy ismeretlen szerző később egészen 548-ig kibővített. A mű a késő ókori Római Birodalom politika-, had-, társadalom- és egyháztörténetével foglalkozik, emiatt aztán a Krónikában feltűnő személyiségek többnyire férfiak, azonban Marcellinus comes 22 nőt is megemlít történeti munkájában. A publikáció röviden bemutatja az opusban feltűnő nőket és asszonyokat, illetve ismerteti a szerepüket a krónikában.

description: We investigate market structure and strategic pricing for leading brands sold by Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo. in the context of a flexible demand specification (i.e., nonlinear AIDS) and structural price equations. Our flexible and generalized approach does not rely upon the often used ad hoc linear approximations to demand and profit-maximizing first-order conditions, andthe assumption of Nash-Bertrand competition. We estimate a conjectural variation model and test for different brand-level pure strategy games. This approach of modeling market competition using the nonlinear Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) estimation method provides insights into the nature of imperfect competition and the extent of market power. We find no support for a Nash-Bertrand or Stackelberg Leadership equilibrium in the brand-level pricing game. Results also provide insights into the unique positioning of PepsiCo.’s Mountain Dew brand.
