Strategic ‘Mistakes’: Implications for Market Design Research∗

Using a rich data set on Australian college admissions, we show that even in strategically straightforward situations, a non-negligible fraction of applicants adopt strategies that are unambiguously dominated; however, the majority of these ‘mistakes’ are payoff irrelevant. We then propose a new equilibrium solution concept that allows for mistakes. Applying it to a strategy-proof mechanism in ...

Detecting mistakes in engineering models: the effects of experimental design

This paper presents the results of an experiment with human subjects investigating their ability to discover a mistake in a model used for engineering design. For the purpose of this study, a known mistake was intentionally placed into a model that was to be used by engineers in a design process. The treatment condition was the experimental design that the subjects were asked to use to explore ...

Commentary: overview of agricultural dust research: Agricultural Research Service perspective

Interneurons originating from the ganglionic eminence migrate tangentially into the developing cerebral wall as they navigate to their distinct positions in the cerebral cortex. Compromised connectivity and differentiation of interneurons are thought to be an underlying cause in the emergence of neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia. Previously, it was suggested that tangential mig...

Mistakes I Have Made in My Research Career.

I started in psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital and Institute of Psychiatry, London, in October 1972, and spent the next 3 years completing my basic training. I was then offered a research post studying the excretion of dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in patients with schizophrenia. DMT is a hallucinogen used by Amazonian Indians in their religious ceremonies, as well as a minor street drug, and the ...
