Breakdowns ∗ Godfrey Keller

We study a continuous-time game of strategic experimentation in which the players try to assess the failure rate of some new equipment or technology. Breakdowns occur at the jump times of a Poisson process whose unknown intensity is either high or low. In marked contrast to existing models, we find that the cooperative value function does not exhibit smooth pasting at the efficient cut-off beli...

He found himself at loggerheads in the European Commission with Joe Borg, the European fisheries commissioner from Malta. Borg was insisting that time be allowed for a bluefin recovery plan which had been agreed by Iccat. But its poor record on protecting stocks has angered conservationists. One of Dimas’s officials said: “They need to come up with conservation protection measures that live up ...

Diphosphoglycerate mutase (DPGM) was purified to homogeneity from human erythrocytes. The enzyme and Freund adjuvant were infected into chickens and yielded a monospecific precipitating antibody. Radial immunodiffusion with this antibody was used to measure the amount of DPGM in hemolysates from human adult and cord red cells. Dog, rabbit, rat, chicken, and goat red cells all had DPGM during th...
