This paper explores the sources of weak party–voting patterns in Irish elections, conceptualising this as split–ticket voting. Ireland provides a context where election results show split–ticket voting is common, but the strategic interpretations of such behaviour that have been very prominent elsewhere are not generally applicable. We employ data from the Irish national election studies to exp...

The objective of the Fly Airline case is for you to learn to develop audit procedures in a context, e-ticket revenue, in which most of the evidence is available electronically, and in which many tests of controls and substantive tests can be performed using data stored in electronic form. In sequence, you will identify controls and their objectives, match controls to financial statement asserti...

We test a self-signaling theory using two large-scale, randomized controlled field experiments. Mobile phone users are randomly sampled to receive promotional offers for movie tickets via SMS technology. Test groups are exposed to different pre-determined levels of price discounts and charitable donations tied to the ticket purchase. The main effects of price discounts and charitable donations ...

Upon arrival to a ticket queue, a customer is offered a slip of paper with a number on it—indicating the order of arrival to the system—and is told the number of the customer currently in service. The arriving customer then chooses whether to take the slip or balk, a decision based on the perceived queue length and associated waiting time. Even after taking a ticket, a customer may abandon the ...

A ticket server architecture was proposed in [1] and [2] to issue tickets to ensure access to communications resources in crisis situations. End users interact directly with servers using intelligent agents that use an agent communication language. Here a hybrid simulation approach is used to assess ticket server performance requirements and network administrative overhead. The negotiation inte...

We prove the decidability of the logic T→ of Ticket Entailment. Raised by Anderson and Belnap within the framework of relevance logic, this question is equivalent to the question of the decidability of type inhabitation in simply-typed combinatory logic with the partial basis BBIW. We solve the equivalent problem of type inhabitation for the restriction of simply-typed lambda-calculus to heredi...

Growing cashless services in the Sydney metropolitan region is motivated by the clear supply-side benefits associated with the prepayment of public transport fares. This paper examines the effect on prepay following the ‘MyZone’ fare and ticket reform in NSW introduced in April 2010. ‘MyZone’, introduced two new discounted and standardised prepay products, including a new, multi-modal ticket. W...

Trouble ticket databases keep record of registered network problems, their (likely) reasons, repair times and other relevant information. Even though this information is considered to be confidential, some research and education oriented networks publish it via the Internet. The present report contains the results of analyzing the content of two such databases and draws conclusions as to the pr...

Ticket markets raise a large variety of pricing questions that are of substantial interest for theoretical economists. They also offer a unique laboratory experiment for empiricists because they exhibit rich sources of price variations. Prices vary because seats are different, because seats are located in different places, because performances take place on different dates, because venues offer...
