Designing theoretically-informed implementation interventions
Clinical and health services research is continually producing new findings that may contribute to effective and efficient patient care. However, the transfer of research findings into practice is unpredictable and can be a slow and haphazard process. Ideally, the choice of implementation strategies would be based upon evidence from randomised controlled trials or systematic reviews of a given ...
متن کاملElectoral Competition with Privately Informed Candidates∗ (Preliminary)
We consider a model of elections in which two office-motivated candidates are uncertain about the location of the median voter’s ideal point, and in which candidates receive private signals about the location of the median prior to taking policy positions. Assuming signal spaces are finite, we show that there is at most one pure strategy equilibrium and give a sharp characterization, if one exi...
متن کاملElectoral competition with privately-informed candidates
This paper formulates and analyzes a general model of elections in which candidates receive private signals about voters’ preferences prior to committing to political platforms. We fully characterize the unique pure-strategy equilibrium: After receiving her signal, each candidate locates at the median of the distribution of the median voter’s location, conditional on the other candidate receivi...
متن کاملTowards an information-theoretically safe cryptographic protocol
We introduce what –if some kind of group action exists– is a truly (information-theoretically) safe cryptographic communication system: a protocol which provides zero information to any passive adversary having full access to the channel. 1. The false algorithm, simple version Assume Alice wants to share a secret s, which we assume for simplicity is a non-zero rational number s = p/q ∈ Q⋆. For ...
متن کاملTowards Benchmarking Microscopic Traffic Flow Models
For the simulation of traffic flows various macroscopic and microscopic models exist. Developing these models it is important to check the models against reality, whereas there are well-established means how to do this for macroscopic fluid-dynamical models. For microscopic models this work has yet to be done. This article is intended as a first step towards a common benchmarking of those model...
