This note is an accompaniment to my poster for my class project. Despite its seeming length, it attempts to be as brief as is reasonable, explaining the figures in greater detail and providing additional computational details most relevant to the subject of the course.

This paper reviews and synthesizes the theory of information economics and empirical evidence on how information changes the behavior of consumers, households and firms. I show that consumers respond to new information in food experiments but perhaps not in retirement account management. Some seeming perverse consumer/investor decision making may be a result of a complex decision with a low exp...

Uniform-price auctions are studied in which the seller may cancel part of the supply after observing the bids. This feature eliminates many of the ‘collusive seeming’ equilibria of the auction. In equilibrium the seller always sells the full quantity.  2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract We propose a quantum voting system in the spirit of quantum games such as the quantum Prisoner’s Dilemma. Our scheme violates a quantum analogue of Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem, which states that every (classical) constitution endowed with three innocuous-seeming properties is a dictatorship. Superpositions, interference, and entanglement of votes feature in voting tactics available t...

We review and discuss the original Kaluza-Klein theory in the framework of modern embedding theories of the spacetime, such as the recent induced matter approach. We show that in spite of their seeming similarity they constitute rather distinct proposals as far as their geometrical structure is concerned.
