The Strategy-Proof Provision of Public Goods under Congestion and Crowding Preferences
Creators: name: Jackson, Matthew O.
name: Nicolò, Antonio
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2002
Subjects: public goods, congestion, club goods, strategy-proof

description: We examine the strategy-proof provision of excludable public goods when agents care not only about the level of provision of a public good, but also the number of consumers. We show that on such domains strategy-proof and efficient social choice functions satisfying an outsider independence condition must be rigid in that they must always assign a fixed number of consumers, regardless of individual desires to participate. The fixed number depends on the attitudes of agents regarding group size - being small when congestion effects dominate (individuals prefer to have fewer other consumers) and large when cost sharing effects dominate (agents prefer to have more consumers). A hierarchical rule selects which consumers participate and a variation of a generalized median rule to selects the level of the public good. Under heterogeneity in agents' views on the optimal number of consumers, strategy-proof, efficient, and outsider independent social choice functions are much more limited and in an important case must be dictatorial.

Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Conditional Quantiles
Creators: name: Komunjer, Ivana
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2002
Subjects: 'tick-exponential' densities, conditional quantiles, quasi-maximum likelihood estimation, misspecification, asymptotic distribution

description: In this paper we derive the asymptotic distribution of a new class of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators (QMLE) based on a 'tick-exponential' family of densities. We show that the 'tick-exponential' assumption is a necessary and sufficient condition for a QMLE to be consistent for the parameters of a correctly specified model of a given conditional quantile. Hence, the role of this family of densities in the conditional quantile estimation is analog to the role of the linear-exponential family in the conditional mean estimation. The 'tick-exponential' QMLEs are shown to be asymptotically normal with an asymptotic covariance matrix that has a novel form, not seen in earlier work, and which accounts for possible model misspecification. For practical purposes, we show that the maximization of the 'tick-exponential' (quasi) log-likelihood can conveniently be carried out by using standard gradient-based optimization techniques. More importantly, we provide a consistent estimator for the asymptotic covariance matrix based on the "scores" of the log-likelihood, which allows us to compute the conditional quantile confidence intervals.

On the Concentration of Allocations and Comparisons of Auctions in Large Economies
Creators: name: Jackson, Matthew O.

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2002
Subjects: auction, competition, mechanism, asymptotic efficiency, revenue equivalence

description: We analyze competitive pressures in a sequence of auctions with a growing number of bidders, in a model that includes private and common valuations as special cases. We show that the key determinant of bidders' surplus (and implicitly auction revenue) is how the goods are distributed. In any setting and sequence of auctions where the allocation of good(s) is concentrated among a shrinking proportion of the population, the winning bidders enjoy no surplus in the limit. If instead the good(s) are allocated in a dispersed manner so that a non-vanishing proportion of the bidders obtain objects,
then in any of a wide class of auctions bidders enjoy a surplus that is bounded away from zero. Moreover, under dispersed allocations, the format of the auction matters. If bidders have constant marginal utilities for objects up to some limit, then uniform price auctions lead to higher revenue than discriminatory auctions. If agents have decreasing marginal utilities for objects, then uniform price auctions are asymptotically efficient, while discriminatory auctions are asymptotically inefficient. Finally, we show that in some cases where dispersed allocations are efficient, revenue may increase by bundling goods at the expense of efficiency.

Choosing How to Choose: Self-Stable Majority Rules
Creators: name: Barberà, Salvador

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2002
Subjects: majority rule, voting, self-stable

description: We consider the endogenous choice of a voting rule, characterized by the majority size needed to elect change over the status quo, by a society who will use the rule to make future decisions. Under simple assumptions on the uncertainty concerning the future alternatives that will be voted upon, voters' have induced preferences over voting rules that are single-peaked and intermediate. We explore the existence of self-stable voting rules, i.e., voting rules such that there is no alternative rule that would beat the given voting rule if the given voting rule is used to choose between the rules. There are situations where self-stable voting rules do not exist. We explore conditions that guarantee existence, as well as issues relating to efficiency and constitutional design.

Categorical Cognition: A psychological model of categories and identification in decision making
Creators: name: Fryer, Roland G., Jr.
name: Jackson, Matthew O.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2002
Subjects: categorization, categories, identification, discrimination, decision making

description: This paper introduces a psychological notion of categorization into economics and derives its implications for economic decision making. We show, using a tractable model of social cognition, that a decision maker in (efficiently) assigning past experiences to
categories, will sort experiences of interaction with larger (majority) groups more finely than experiences with smaller (minority) groups. We then apply the model to understand simple forms of discrimination and social identity. It is shown that discrimination in hiring can result from such cognitive processes even when there is no malevolent taste to do so and workers' qualifications are fully observable. The model also provides a framework that is equipped to investigate the social psychological concept of identity, where identity is viewed as self-categorization.

A Characterization of Strategic Complementarities
Creators: name: Echenique, Federico

description: I characterize games for which there is an order on strategies such that the game has strategic complementarities. I prove that, with some qualifications, games with a unique equilibrium have complementarities if and only if Cournot best-response dynamics has no cycles; and that all games with multiple equilibria have complementarities.

As applications of my results, I show: 1. That generic 2X2 games either have no pure-strategy equilibria, or have complementarities. 2. That generic two-player infinite ordinal potential games have complementarities.

description: Dietary habits among other factors such as urbanization and westernization of lifestyle are responsible for the surge in the cost associated with non-communicable diseases globally and especially in developing countries. The study sheds light on the level of awareness of whole plant food, its consumption and its relationship with the number of reported illnesses among households. A structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data for the study. Two hundred and forty households were selected using a multistage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics, logistic regression technique and ordinary least squares regression were utilized in the data analysis. The study revealed a low level of awareness of whole-plant food among households. Male-headed households have a higher level of awareness of whole plant food than households with female head.  However, male-headed households consumed a smaller share of whole plant food (62.86) when compared with female-headed households with average extent of whole plant food of 63.10. Consequently, female-headed households recorded a lower incidence of illnesses. From the result of the logistic regression model, location, years of formal education, monthly income of spouse, and marital status significantly influenced the level of awareness of whole-plant food. The age of the household’s head, location and years of formal education have significant effect on how much whole-plant food is consumed. The incidence of illness reduces with increased extent of whole-plant consumption. Hence, there should be concerted and collective actions involving government and private sectors in creating more awareness of the health benefits of whole plant food consumption.
The Mathematics and Statistics of Voting Power

description: In an election, voting power—the probability that a single vote is decisive—is affected by the rule for aggregating votes into a single outcome. Voting power is important for studying political representation, fairness and strategy, and has been much discussed in political science. Although power indexes are often considered as mathematical definitions, they ultimately depend on statistical models of voting. Mathematical calculations of voting power usually have been performed under the model that votes are decided by coin flips. This simple model has interesting implications for weighted elections, two-stage elections (such as the U.S. Electoral College) and coalition structures. We discuss empirical failings of the coin-flip model of voting and consider, first, the implications for voting power and, second, ways in which votes could be modeled more realistically. Under the random voting model, the standard deviation of the average of n votes is proportional to 1/√n, but under more general models, this variance can have the form cn^(−α) or √a−b log n. Voting power calculations under more realistic models present research challenges in modeling and computation.

description: We characterize the core many-to-one matchings as fixed points of a map. Our characterization gives an algorithm for finding core allocations; the algorithm is efficient and simple to implement. Our characterization does not require substitutable preferences, so it is separate from the structure needed for the non-emptiness of the core. When preferences are substitutable, our characterization gives a simple proof of the lattice structure of core matchings, and it gives a method for computing the join and meet of two core matchings.

Ambiguity from the Differential Viewpoint

Subjects: Ambiguity, Clarke Differentials, α-Maxmin Expected Utility, Generalized Bayesian Updating

description: The objective of this paper is to show how ambiguity, and a decision maker (DM)'s response to it, can be modeled formally in the context of a very general decision model.

In the first part of the paper we introduce an "unambiguous preference" relation derived from the DM's preferences, and show that it can be represented by a set of probability measures. We provide such set with a simple differential interpretation and argue that it represents the DM's perception of the "ambiguity" present in the decision problem. Given the notion of ambiguity, we show that preferences can be represented so as to provide an intuitive representation of ambiguity attitudes.

In the second part of the paper we provide some extensions and "applications" of these ideas. We present an axiomatic characterization of the α-MEU decision rule. We also consider a simple dynamic choice setting and show the characterization of the updating rule that revises every prior in the aforementioned set by Bayes's rule; i.e., the generalized Bayesian updating rule.

The Effect of Candidate Quality on Electoral Equilibrium: An Experimental Study
Creators: name: Aragones, Enriqueta
name: Palfrey, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2002
Subjects: candidate quality
experiments
spatial competition
quantal response equilibrium

description: When two candidates of different quality compete in a one dimensional policy space, the equilibrium outcomes are asymmetric and do not correspond to the median. There are three main effects. First, the better candidate adopts more centrist policies than the worse candidate. Second, the equilibrium is statistical, in the sense that it predicts a probability distribution of outcomes rather than a single degenerate outcome. Third, the equilibrium varies systematically with the level of uncertainty about the location of the median voter. We test these three predictions using laboratory experiments, and find strong support for all three. We also observe some biases and show that they can be explained by quantal response equilibrium.

Using Information From Trading In Trading And Portfolio Management: Ten Years Later
Creators: name: Leinweber, David
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2002
Subjects: Transaction costs, trading costs, equity markets, stock markets, electronic order working, liquidity, program trading

description: The centerpiece of this paper is a comprehensive analysis of all of the trading by a large US pension fund in 1991. The first version was published in the Summer 1995 issue of the Journal of Investing and later incorporated in the AIMR's CFA reading. This updated version, requested by the AIMR, reflects the technological and market structure changes of the last ten years, and adds a new empirical analysis of all the 2001 trading by a $7 billion US equity manager.

Trading technology has changed in many ways, yet many of the same characteristics of institutional trading are seen just as strongly as they were before. The attention given to large difficult orders still shows in lower than expected trading costs. Small "no-brainer" orders still represent the largest component of overall trading costs. These are precisely the type of costs that modern electronic trading systems are designed to reduce.

The idea that trading costs were a substantial drag on performance was a relatively novel in 1991. Today, it is a central concern for many managers, including those profiled here.

Empirically Evaluating the Electoral College
Creators: name: Katz, Jonathan N.
name: Gelman, Andrew

Year: 2002

description: The 2000 U.S. presidential election has once again rekindled interest in possible electoral reform including the possible elimination of the Electoral College. Most arguments against the Electoral College have either been based on ancedotal evidence from particular elections or on highly stylized formal models We take a very different approach here. We develop a set of statistical models based on historical election results to evaluate the Electoral College as it has performed in practice. Thus, while we do not directly address the normative question of the value of the U.S. Electoral College, this paper does provide the necessary tools and evidence to make such an evaluation. We show that when one preforms such an analysis there is not much basis to argue for reforming the Electoral College. We first show that while the Electoral College may once have been biased against the Democrats, given the current distribution of voters, neither party is advantaged by the system. Further, the electoral vote will differ from the popular vote will only when the average votes shares are very close to a half. We then show that while there has been much temporal variation in voting power over the last several decades, the voting power of individual citizens would not likely increase under a popular vote system of electing the president.

Standard Voting Power Indexes Don't Work: An Empirical Analysis
Creators: name: Gelman, Andrew
name: Katz, Jonathan N.
name: Bafumi, Joseph
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2002
Subjects: Banzhaf index, decisive vote, elections, electoral college, Shapley value, voting power

description: Voting power indexes such as that of Banzhaf (1965) are derived, explicitly or implicitly, from the assumption that all votes are equally likely (i.e., random voting). That assumption can be generalized to hold that the probability of a vote being decisive in a jurisdiction with n voters is proportional to 1/√n.

We test and reject this hypothesis empirically, using data from several different U.S. and European elections. We find that the probability of a decisive vote is approximately proportional to 1/n. The random voting model (or its generalization, the square-root rule) overestimates the probability of close elections in larger jurisdictions. As a result, classical voting power indexes make voters in large jurisdictions appear more powerful than they really are.

The most important political implication of our result is that proportionally weighted voting systems (that is, each jurisdiction gets a number of votes proportional to n) are basically fair. This contradicts the claim in the voting power literature that weights should be approximately proportional to √n.

A Subjective Spin on Roulette Wheels

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001
Subjects: Roulette Wheels, Subjective Mixtures, Mixture Space, Maxmin Expected Utility, Incomplete Preferences

description: We provide a behavioral foundation to the notion of 'mixture' of acts, which is used to great advantage in the decision setting introduced by Anscombe and Aumann.

Our construction allows one to formulate mixture-space axioms even in a fully subjective setting, without assuming the existence of randomizing devices. This simplifies the task of developing axiomatic models which only use behavioral data. Moreover, it is immune from the difficulty that agents may 'distort' the probabilities associated with randomizing devices.

For illustration, we present simple subjective axiomatizations of some models of choice under uncertainty, including the maxmin expected utility model of Gilboa and Schmeidler, and Bewley's model of choice with incomplete preferences.

On the probability of the competitive equilibrium being globally stable: The C.E.S. example
Creators: name: Hirota, Masayoshi
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2004
Subjects: probability, numerical method, global stability, Walrasian price adjustment, weak axiom, gross substitutes

description: This paper extends an analysis proposed by Hirota (1981) to a class of economies with C.E.S. utility functions that include Scarf (1960)'s second example as a special case and shows by the use of numerical methods that (i) a Walrasian price adjustment mechanism converges to an equilibrium with very high probability and (ii) the weak axiom in revealed preference for market excess demands is satisfied with high probability, but the gross substitutability is rarely satisfied. Also, this paper suggests a possible interpretation of a Walrasian price adjustment that is based on the observations of experiments done by Anderson, Plott, Shimomura and Granat (2000).
