In this paper, we propose a decision framework where people are individually asked either to consent actively to or reject some pro-social behavior. We hypothesize that confronting individuals with the choice of engaging in a specific pro-social behavior contributes to the formation of issue-specific altruistic preferences while simultaneously involving a commitment. The hypothesis is tested in...

Aggregation operators (AOs) have been studied by many schol- ars. As many AOs are proposed, there is still lacking approach to classify the categories of AO, and to select the appropriate AO within the AO candidates. In this research, each AO can be regarded as a cognitive style or individual dierence. A Cognitive Style and Aggregation Operator (CSAO) model is pro- posed to analyze the mapping ...

Among GRAS molecules, α-amino acids have been extensively used to produce molecular salts and cocrystals of APIs thanks their nontoxicity, ready availability, cheapness, zwitterionic nature. Here we report on the use both anhydrous hydrated l-proline (Pro Pro·H2O, respectively) with methyl gallate (MG) selectively obtain by mechanochemical methods cocrystals: MG·Pro2 MG2·Pro2·H2O, respectively....

Consider a Bertrand model in which each rm may be inactive with a known probability, so the number of active rms is uncertain. This activity level can be endogenized in any of several ways{ as whether to incur a xed cost of activity, as output choice, or as quality choice. Our model has a mixed-strategy equilibrium, in which industry pro ts are positive and decline with the number of rms, the s...
