چکیده
Fiscal federalism is often hailed as an innovation procedure: successful policy experiments in one jurisdiction will, via imitation, spread through the entire system, leading to overall better policy performance. We show that such hopes set in laboratory federalism may be ill-founded. For a standard framework of decentralized redistribution in a common labor market with mobile transfer recipients imitationwith-experimentation will lead to a complete breakdown of the welfare state: zero transfers.

We interpret the Open Method of Coordination (OMC), recently adopted by the EU as a mode of governance in the area of social policy and other fields, as an imitative learning dynamics of the type considered in evolutionary game theory. The best-practise feature and the iterative design of the OMC correspond to the behavioral rule “imitate the best.” In a redistribution game with utilitarian gov...

The preanalytical phase, encompassing at large all those activities necessary to obtain a suitable biological specimen, is an essential part of the total testing process [1]. Several lines of evidence attest that uncertainties, poorly standardized and even misleading preanalytical procedures produce the vast majority of problems in diagnostic testing, wherein up to 60%–70% of laboratory errors ...
