Testable Implications

description: We present the first revealed-preference characterizations of the models of exponential time discounting, quasi-hyperbolic time discounting, and other time-separable models of consumers' intertemporal decisions. The characterizations provide non-parametric revealed-preference tests, which we take to data using the results of a recent experiment conducted by Andreoni and Sprenger (2012). For such data, we find that less than half the subjects are consistent with exponential discounting, and only a few more are consistent with quasi-hyperbolic discounting.

Scheduling Auctions and Proto-Parties in Legislatures
Creators: name: Čopič, Jernej
name: Katz, Jonathan N.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2014

description: We consider the impact of the scarcity of plenary time in legislatures both on the outcome of the legislative bargaining process and the organization of the legislature itself. We do so by developing a novel model that we call scheduling auctions. In the model, the legislature is charged with allocating a fixed budget. Members can propose an allocation and the scheduling agent decides which one of the possible proposals will be considered by the entire legislature in plenary session for an up or down vote. We show in this simple setting that deciding which member should be  selected  as  the  scheduling agent endogenously induces the creation of nascent political parties that we call proto-parties. We also show that the these legislative structures have positive welfare implications.

Equilibrium Tax Rates and Income Redistribution: A Laboratory Study

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2012
Subjects: Income taxation, Experiment, Voting

description: This paper reports results from a laboratory experiment that investigates the Meltzer-Richard model of equilibrium tax rates, inequality, and income redistribution. We also extend that model to incorporate social preferences in the form of altruism and inequality aversion. The experiment varies the amount of inequality and the collective choice procedure to determine tax rates. We report four main findings. First, higher wage inequality leads to higher tax rates. The effect is significant and large in magnitude.
Second, the average implemented tax rates are almost exactly equal to the theoretical ideal tax rate of the median wage worker. Third, we do not observe any significant differences in labor supply or average implemented tax rates between a direct democracy institution and a representative democracy system where tax rates are determined by candidate competition. Fourth, we observe negligible deviations from labor supply behavior or voting behavior in the directions implied by altruism or inequality aversion.

description: We analyze a Colonel Blotto game in which opposing parties have differing relative intensities (i.e. the game is non-zero sum). We characterize the colonels' payoffs that sustain a pure strategy equilibrium and present an algorithm that reaches the equilibrium actions (when they exist). Finally we show that the set of games with a pure strategy equilibria is non-empty.

description: How do people learn? We assess, in a distribution-free manner, subjects' learning and choice rules in dynamic two-armed bandit learning experiments. To aid in identification and estimation, we use auxiliary measures of subjects' beliefs, in the form of their eye-movements during the experiment. Our estimated choice probabilities and learning rules have some distinctive features; notably that subjects tend to update in a non-smooth manner following choices made in accordance with current beliefs. Moreover, the beliefs implied by our nonparametric learning rules are closer to those from a (non-Bayesian) reinforcement learning model, than a Bayesian learning model.

description: We extend the Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes (BLP, 1995) random coefficients discrete- choice demand model, which underlies much recent empirical work in IO. We add interactive fixed effects in the form of a factor structure on the unobserved product characteristics. The interactive fixed effects can be arbitrarily correlated with the observed product characteristics (including price), which accommodates endogeneity and, at the same time, captures strong persistence in market shares across products and markets. We propose a two step least squares-minimum distance (LS-MD) procedure to calculate the estimator. Our estimator is easy to compute, and Monte Carlo simulations show that it performs well. We consider an empirical application to US automobile demand.

Communication in Multilateral Bargaining
Creators: name: Agranov, Marina
name: Tergiman, Chloe
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2013
Subjects: bargaining, communication

description: One of the most robust phenomena in the experimental literature on multilateral bargaining is the failure of proposers to extract equilibrium rents. However, all previous experiments have overlooked the fact that outside the lab committee members are allowed to - and do - engage in sometimes intense communication processes prior to voting on a proposal. We conduct an experimental test of the Baron-Ferejohn model in which we allow committee members to engage in unrestricted cheap-talk communication before a proposal is submitted.   We find that proposers extract a significantly higher share of resources when communication is allowed. Communication increases proposer power through two channels. First, it mitigates the uncertainty surrounding the amount a coalition member is willing to accept. Second, it allows potential coalition members to compete for a place in the coalition by lowering this stated price.

(Fig. 19C, D)
Material examined. VNMN-0272 (CT-9), on SEM stub.
Measurements. AzL (excluding peristome), 0.33–0.67 (0.542 ± 0.110); AzW, 0.16–0.32 (0.215 ± 0.042) (n = 12). Or inside diameter, 0.057 –0.096 (0.079 ± 0.013) (n = 6).
Description. Colony encrusting; zooids in dichotomously branching uniserial series, each autozooid producing pair of distal buds giving rise to bifurcation; angle of branching variable, from acute to obtuse; in some cases, one of paired daughter zooids at branch point aborted. Some paired daughter zooids at branch points appressed to one another for one-third to one-half their length before diverging; others diverging immediately at branch point.
Zooids uniform in width, or up to twice as wide distally; wall with weak transverse striation, evenly perforated by minute pseudopores. Unbroken peristomes in our specimen not tall, length at most three times peristome diameter; acute projection on distal side at top of some peristomes. Some orifices partially closed, with restricted, circular opening in center.
Brood chamber and ancestrula not observed.
Remarks. The nominal genus Stomatopora has a stratigraphic range from the Triassic to Recent, with one Ordovician species of dubious status (Bock 2018). Harmelin (1979) discussed taxonomic problems associated with the genus, noting that the type species, Alecto dichotoma Lamouroux, 1821, described from a Jurassic fossil, initially forms a uniserial and biserial adnate colony but later forms erect branches, with the brood chamber arising as a simple swelling of the peristome. The generic placement of cyclostome species having a stable uniserial colony is thus problematic and will eventually require the erection of new genera based on information on budding patterns and the mode of formation the gonozooid (Harmelin 1979). While our specimen resembles several Jurassic species having a type-II budding pattern (Illies 1973), we cannot rule out that it is the adnate portion of a colony that will later form erect reproductive branches. Here we list this specimen as “ Stomatopora ” in the sense of a form-genus, making it accessible to literature searches in future studies of uniserial cyclostomes.

To Elect or to Appoint? Bias, Information, and Responsiveness of Bureaucrats and Politicians

description: In this paper, we address empirically the trade-offs involved in choosing between bureaucrats and politicians. In order to do this, we need to map institutions of selection and retention of public officials to the type of public officials they induce. We do this by specifying a collective decision-making model, and exploiting its equilibrium information to obtain estimates of the unobservable types. We focus on criminal decisions across US states' Supreme Courts. We find that justices that are shielded from voters' influence ("bureaucrats") on average (i) have better information, (ii) are more likely to change their preconceived opinions about a case, and (iii) are more effective (make less mistakes) than their elected counterparts ("politicians"). We evaluate how performance would change if the courts replaced majority rule with unanimity rule.

Identifying Treatment Effects under Data Combination

Subjects: Counterfactual distributions, treatment effects, partial identification

description: We consider the identification of counterfactual distributions and treatment effects when the outcome variables and conditioning covariates are observed in separate datasets. Under the standard selection on observables assumption, the counterfactual distributions and treatment effect parameters are no longer point identified. However, applying the classical monotone re-arrangement inequality, we derive sharp bounds on the counterfactual distributions and policy parameters of interest.

Verreaux’s Meadow Mouse
Myomyscus verreauxi
French: Myomyscus de Verreaux / German: Verreaux-\ Wiesenratte / Spanish: Raton de campina de Verreaux
Other common names: Verreaux's Myomyscus, Verreaux's White-footed Rat, White-footed Mouse
Taxonomy. Mus verroxii [sic] A. Smith, 1834,
near Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, Western Cape Province, South Africa.
Myomyscus verreauxii was previously grouped in the genus Myomys, but that genus was later shown to be a synonym of Mastomys. Myomyscus verreauxii is the type species for the genus, and because other members (M. brockmani and M. yemeni) are genetically distinct from M.verreauxi,
it seems likely that M. verreauxii is the only species representing the genus Myomyscus. Nevertheless, pending finalization of the correct generic affiliations of other species, they are provisionally retained in Myomyscus. Monotypic.
Distribution. Endemic to Western Cape Province, South Africa, from Olifants River in the W to Plettenberg Bay and Knysna in the E.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 90-113 mm, tail 130-148 mm, ear 17-19 mm, hindfoot 25-27 mm; weight 22-52 g. Fur of Verreaux’s Meadow Mouse is buffy brown above becoming paler on flanks, whitish gray withshorter hairs below. Lips, chin, and throat are buffy brown. Tail is very long (c.135% of head-body length), scaly with short bristles, dark above, and paler below. Ears are large and naked. Hindfeet and forefeet are white. Females have five pairs of nipples.
Habitat. Around “vleis” (shallow intermittent small lakes) in heath (“fynbos”) habitats, especially those dominated by species of Proteaceae. Verreaux’s Meadow Mice have also been recorded in grassy vleis and forested valleys.
Food and Feeding. Verreaux’s Meadow Mice are known to eat seeds of Proteaceae and insects. They are probably important pollinators of Protea spp.
Breeding. Verreaux’s Meadow Mouse probably breeds seasonally, with births occurring during late wet season.
Activity patterns. Verreaux’s Meadow Mouse is nocturnal and terrestrial.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List.

Modeling the Change of Paradigm: Non-Bayesian Reactions to Unexpected News
Creators: name: Ortoleva, Pietro
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2010
Subjects: Bayes' Rule, Updating, Dynamic Consistency, Ambiguity Aversion

description: Despite its normative appeal and widespread use, Bayes' rule has two well-known limitations: first, it does not predict how agents should react to an information to which they assigned probability zero; second, a sizable empirical evidence documents how agents systematically deviate from its prescriptions by overreacting to information to which they assigned a positive but small probability. By replacing Dynamic Consistency with a novel axiom, Dynamic Coherence, we characterize an alternative updating rule that is not subject to these limitations, but at the same time coincides with Bayes' rule for "normal" events. In particular, we model an agent with a utility function over consequences, a prior over priors ρ, and a threshold. In the first period she chooses the prior that maximizes the prior over priors ρ--a' la maximum likelihood. As new information is revealed: if the chosen prior assigns to this information a probability above the threshold, she follows Bayes' rule and updates it. Otherwise, she goes back to her prior over priors ρ, updates it using Bayes' rule, and then chooses the new prior that maximizes the updated ρ. We also extend our analysis to the case of ambiguity aversion.

The Pro-Competitive Effect of Campaign Limits in Non-Majoritarian Elections
Creators: name: Iaryczower, Matias
name: Mattozzi, Andrea
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2010
Subjects: elections, proportional representation, campaign finance, abstention, valence

description: We study a model of elections in non-majoritarian systems that captures the link between competition in policies and competition in campaign spending. We argue that the overall competitiveness of the political arena depends both on the endogenous number of parties contesting the election and the endogenous level of campaign spending. These two dimensions are linked together through their combined effect on the total equilibrium level of political rents. We illustrate the key insights of the model through the analysis of two major electoral institutions: campaign spending limits and compulsory voting. In particular, we show that under some conditions spending caps and compulsory voting can be pro-competitive, leading to an increase in the number of parties contesting the elections.
