Electoral Incentives, Informational Asymmetries, and the Policy Bias Toward Special Interests
Creators: name: Lohmann, Susanne
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996

description: Political decisions are often biased in favor of special interests at the expense of the general public, and they are frequently inefficient in the sense that the losses incurred by the majority exceed the gains enjoyed by the minority. This paper provides an explanation based on informational asymmetries and the free rider problem: (i) incumbents increase their chances of re-election by biasing policy toward groups that are better able to monitor their activities; and (ii) smaller groups are better able to overcome the free rider problem of costly monitoring so that policy will be biased in their favor. A welfare analysis examines the effect of asymmetric monitoring on voter welfare. The inefficiencies created by the policy bias are offset by a positively-valued selection bias: incumbents of above-average quality are more likely to survive voter scrutiny than are low-quality types.

Federalism and Central Bank Autonomy: The Politics of German Monetary Policy, 1957-1992
Creators: name: Lohmann, Susanne
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996

description: Two channels of political control allow elected politicians to influence monetary policy. First, central bankers may accommodate political pressures to ward off political threats to the status, the structure, or the very existence of the central bank. Second, politicians may use their powers of appointment to ensure that central bank appointees share their electoral and party-political goals. This paper derives the monetary policy outcomes obtained as a function of the degree of central bank independence (zero, partial, or full) and of central bankers' types (partisans or technocrats).
Based on a case study of the 1957 and 1992 institutional changes to the German central banking system and a regression analysis covering the 1960- 1989 period, I argue that the formal autonomy of the system is protected by its embeddedness in the institutions of German federalism and by the federalist components of its decentralized organizational structure. I conclude that the behavioral autonomy of the German central bank fluctuates over time with the party control of federalist veto points. The evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that the Bundesbank is staffed with non-partisan technocrats who are partially insulated from political pressures.

description: Political principals typically use low-cost "fire-alarm" signals transmitted by the media, interest groups, and disaffected constituents to monitor the activities of regulatory agencies. We argue that regulatory decision-making is biased and inconsistent if the instruments of political oversight are simple and the information flows to the principal are coarse relative to the complexity of the regulatory environment.

description: This paper reports experiments which examine attributions of leadership quality due to differences in situations. Subjects played an abstract coordination game which is analogous to some organizational situations. Previous research showed that when large groups play the game, they rarely coordinate on the Pareto-optimal (efficient) outcome, but small groups almost always coordinate on a Pareto-optimal outcome. After two or three periods of playing the game, one subject who was randomly selected from among the participants to be the "leader" for the experiment was instructed to make a speech exhorting others to choose the efficient action. Based on previous studies with small and large groups, we predicted that small groups would succeed in achieving efficiency and large groups would fail. Based on research on the fundamental attribution error in social psychology, we predicted that the leaders would be credited for the success of the small groups, and blamed for the failure of the large groups. The effects of the leaders in improving coordination were, as predicted, overshadowed by the situational variable (group size). Nonetheless, there was an "illusion of leadership": subjects attributed differences in outcomes between conditions to differences in the effectiveness of leaders. In a second experiment, subjects in both large and small groups coordinated efficiently, but gave less credit to the second leader than the first.

description: The Logit version of Quantal Response Equilibrium predicts that equilibrium behavior in games will vary systematically with payoff magnitudes, if all other factors are held constant (including the Nash equilibria of the game). We explore this in the context of a set of asymmetric 2x2 games with unique totally mixed strategy equilibria. The data provide little support for the payoff magnitude predictions of the Logit Equilibrium model. We extend the theoretical Quantal Response Equilibrium model to allow for heterogeneity, and find that the data fit the heterogeneous version of the theory significantly better.

Political Confederation

Subjects: voting, federalism, constitution

description: Using a spatial model, we compare different rules for aggregating preferences across confederated districts, under the assumption that voters have private information and face uncertainty about the distribution of preferences of other voters.
Our model includes, as special cases, systems of local representation in national assemblies and parliaments and international legislatures with representatives from member states. We show how induced preferences over the degree of centralization and the method of representation (proportional vs. equal representation of districts) vary systematically across voters and districts, depending on such factors as relative size of the districts, the number of districts, and the variance of underlying policy preferences.
We show that each voter has an ideal confederation in which representation consists solely of equal representation. These ideal confederations vary across voters, but are independent district size. Moderate voters prefer a higher degree of centralization than extreme voters. Preference for centralization is increasing in the number of districts and decreasing in the variance of voter ideal points.
With two districts, majority rule equilibria always exists and can have some degree of proportional representation. With three or more districts, majority rule equilibrium often fails to exist. Nonexistence arises due to cycling in the two dimensional-Centralization x Representation-space of confederations.

description: We study the rationality of learning and the biases in expectations in the Iowa Experimental Markets. Using novel tests developed in Bossaerts [1996], learning in the Iowa winner-take-all markets is found to be in accordance with the rules of conditional probability (Bayes' law). Hence, participants correctly update their beliefs using the available information. There is evidence, however, that beliefs do not satisfy the restrictions of rational expectations that they reflect the factual distribution of outcomes.

Unknown heterogeneity, the EC-EM algorithm, and Large T Approximation
Creators: name: El-Gamal, Mahmoud
name: Grether, David M.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996

description: We study a panel structure with n subjects/entities being observed over T periods. We consider a class of models for each subject's data generating process, and allow for unknown heterogeneity. In other words, we do not know how many types we have, what the types are, and which subjects belong to each type. We propose a large T approximation to the posterior mode on the unknowns through the Estimation/Classification (EC) algorithm of El-Gamal and Grether (1995) which is linear in n, T, and the unknown number of types. If our class of models (likelihood functions) allows for a consistent asymptotically normal estimator under the assumption of homogeneity (number of types = 1), then the estimators obtained by our EC algorithm inherit those asymptotic properties as T ↑ ∞ and then as n t ↑ ∞ (with a block-diagonal covariance matrix facilitating hypothesis-testing). We then propose a large T approximation to the EM algorithm to obtain posteriors on the subject classifications and diagnostics for the goodness of the large T approximation in the• EC stage. If the large T approximation does not seem to be appropriate, then we suggest the use of the more computationally costly EM algorithm, or the - even more costly - full Bayesian updating. We illustrate the procedure with two applications to experimental data on probability assessments within a class of Pro bit and a class of Tobit models.

description: We study the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) to find solutions that correspond to a sonic black/white hole. In such configurations, the condensate goes from subsonic to supersonic when crossing a particular region that can be understood as a horizon. This is because sound cannot go back from the supersonic to the subsonic region. Therefore, in this set-up the speed of sound plays the role same as that of the speed of light in a gravitational black/white hole, an important difference being that there are excitations that can go faster than the speed of sound and therefore can escape (enter) the sonic black (white) hole. These analog gravity models are of a particular interest in the study of the nature of black holes in simple laboratory setups. Here, the motion of the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE). We discuss singular Stationary [1] and Self-similar [2] solutions of Gross-Pitaevskii Equation (GPE) in 2D (with Circular symmetry) and 3D (with Spherical symmetry). We use these solutions to study the approximate local speed of sound and magnitude of flow velocity of the condensate to see whether they cross, indicating the potential existence of a sonic analog of a black/white hole. We discuss different approaches to solve for these solutions, such as numerical techniques and the semi-analytical Laplace-Borel resummation of asymptotic transseries solutions. We check these Laplace-Borel resummations of the transseries to see how well they agree with numerical solutions. Particularly in the case of stationary solutions, we also study and demonstrate the utility of deep learning for these differential equations, phenomenon of resurgence in transseries, and trans-asymptotic summation. Furthermore, considering the practical limitations in achieving the singularities in the stationary condensate density, we also regularize [3] (remove the singularity from) the singular stationary solutions by putting a background spatial metric and/or artificially constructed specific kinds of external potentials and variable couplings so that this configuration can (at least as a better approximation) be achieved in a laboratory setup. We use these to study fluctuations in the density and phase of the regularized solutions and derive acoustic metrics under some approximations to study these analog gravity systems in context of Hawking radiation (temperature) through some approximations.

Market manipulation

description: To test whether naturally-occurring markets can be strategically manipulated, $500 bets were made at a large racetrack, then cancelled. The net effects of these costless bets gives clues about whether market participants react to information potentially contained in large bets. While the bets moved odds on "attack" horses visibly (compared to matched-pair control horses with similar pre-bet odds), the net effect on betting was close to zero. A second study with $1000 bets at a smaller track replicated the result. These markets could not be successfully manipulated, indicating that bettors did not mistakenly infer information from the experimental bets.
description: Wonderful research assistance was provided by Jessica San-San Tien, Dov and Amanda Rosenberg, and Hongjai Rhee. Excellent secretarial work was done by Gail Nash. Helpful comments were received from the MacArthur Foundation Preferences Group, the Russell Sage Foundation Behavioral Economics Summer Camp (Berkeley, 9/96), and discussions with Teck Ho, Hongjai Rhee, Charles Plott and Simon Wilkie. Preparation for this research was provided by Rich Palmer and Burt Camerer (who taught me to ask "why is that?").

Financial Factors and Investment in Belgium, France, Germany and the UK: A Comparison Using Company Panel Data

description: We construct company panel datasets for manufacturing firms in Belgium, France, Germany and the UK, covering the period 1978-89. These datasets are used to estimate a range of empirical investment equations, and to investigate the role played by financial factors in each country. A robust finding is that cash flow or profits terms appear to be both statistically and quantitatively more significant in the UK than in the three continental European countries. This is consistent with the suggestion that financial constraints on investment may be relatively severe in the more market-oriented UK financial system.

The Effect of Bid Withdrawal in a Multi-Object Auction
Creators: name: Porter, David P.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1997

description: The Federal Communications Commission currently utilizes a simultaneous multi-round ascending bid auction to allocate Personal Communication Services licenses. In the auction, participants are allowed to withdraw standing bids at a penalty. The penalty is equal to the difference between the price at which the bid was withdrawn and the highest bid after the withdrawal. The withdrawal rule was added to the auction design to assist bidders wishing to assemble combinations of licenses who may find themselves stranded with an assortment of licenses for which their bids sum to more than their value. This paper reports results of experiments that examine the effect of the withdrawal rule in environments in which losses can occur if packages of licenses must be assembled piecemeal. The experiments demonstrate that there is a tradeoff with using the rule: efficiency and revenue increase, but individual losses are larger. Furthermore, the increased efficiency does not outweigh the higher prices paid so that bidder surplus falls in the presence of the withdrawal rule.

Linearity with Multiple Priors

Year: 1996

description: We characterize the types of functions over which the functional defined as the "min" of integrals with respect to probabilities in a given non-empty closed and convex class is linear. This happens exactly when "integrating" functions which are positive affine transformations of each other (or when one is constant). We show that the result is quite general by restricting the types of classes of probabilities considered. Finally we prove that, with a very peculiar exception, all the results hold more generally for functionals which are linear combinations of the "min" and the "max" functional.

Explaining the Gender Gap in U.S. Presidential Elections, 1980-1992
Creators: name: Chaney, Carole
name: Alvarez, R. Michael
name: Nagler, Jonathan
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1996

description: This paper compares the voting behavior of women and men in presidential elections since 1980 to test competing explanations for the gender gap. We show that, consistent with prior research on individual elections, women placed more emphasis on the national economy than men, and men placed more emphasis on pocketbook voting than women. We add evidence showing that women have consistently more negative assessments of the economy than do men, suggesting that a part of what has been considered a Republican-Democratic gender gap is really an anti-incumbent bias on the part of women. Our multivariate analysis demonstrates that neither the differences between men and women's preferences nor emphasis on any single issue explains the significant gender gap in vote choice; but that a combination of respondent views on the economy, social programs, military action, abortion, and ideology can consistently explain at least three-fourths of the gender gap in the 1984, 1988, and 1992 elections. We also clarify the interpretation of partisan identification in explaining the gender gap.

The initial functions of the MOI were threefold: news and press censorship; home publicity; and oversees publicity in Allied and neutral countries”. This collection contains Press Notices and Bulletins published by the MOI between 1939-1945. The Press Notices and Bulletins are among many publications and films issued by the agency during the war.

description: Pons et Schmucke, deux musiciens, habitent ensemble dans le quartier du Marais. Leur ménage est administré par madame Cibot, la portière de leur immeuble. Or, si Pons est le parent pauvre des Camusot, il a la passion du bric-à-brac et possède de magnifiques pièces qui attisent bientôt la convoitise de l’infâme Cibot et de ses acolytes : Rémonencq, Magus, le docteur Poulain, l’avocat Fraisier. Si l’héritage est sauvé d’un détournement au profit des Camusot, il laisse le bon Schmucke sans ressources et accablé du chagrin d’avoir perdu un ami véritable.

description: During the discussion and evaluation of proposals for the design of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mechanism to sell the spectrum, over 130 auctions were run under controlled conditions at Caltech for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the FCC and others. In this paper we look at these data and try to extract some useful findings for those who may be involved in creating future designs of similar auctions. For those whose experience with experimental economics methodology is limited, we begin with a section on the general framework within which experimental work underlying applied mechanism design is conducted. Next we cover, in section 2, the various technical pieces needed to understand the data: performance measures, economic environments, mechanisms tested, and the major issues considered. The experimental data are presented and our observations are summarized in section 3. We end, in section 4, with some thoughts for future work and with the observation that there is a huge gap between, theory, scientific evidence, and practice in the design of complex auctions. Much needed research remains to be done.
description: Some of the trials and the data generated are described in a report to the FCC. See Ledyard, Plott, and Porter (1994). For a discussion of the role of experimentation in the FCC design process, see Plott (1996). We would like to thank Robin Hanson for his design of the spatial environments.
