RICHARD H. PRICE AND CARY CHERNISS Training for a New Profession: Research as Social Action
نویسنده
چکیده
This article presents an approach to training and professional practice in community psychology that dispenses with the dichotomy between research and practice. In this approach, problem definition is stimulated by community needs, research is seen as a tool for social action, value issues are made explicit, and research products are oriented toward use by community groups and agencies. Implications for changes in training strategies and sites required by the model are considered.

This paper uses a controlled laboratory experiment to test the performance of four market mechanisms to provide product evaluations: uniform price sealed bid, discriminatory price sealed bid, English clock, and Dutch clock auctions. Our r...
متن کاملPrice Increasing Competition? Experimental Evidence
Economic intuition suggests that increased competition generates lower prices. However, recent theoretical work shows that a monopolist may charge a lower price than a firm facing a competitor selling a differentiated product. The direction of the price change when competition is introduced is dependent upon the joint distribution of buyer values for the two products. We explore this relationsh...
