This paper extends Lee and Sabourian [14] and examines repeated implementation of a social choice function in a general incomplete information environment where agents are in…nitely-lived and their preferences are determined stochastically in each period. Our main result establishes how any e¢ cient social choice function can be repeatedly implemented in Bayesian Nash equilibrium. Neither incen...

We report the energies of the fundamental defects in ZnO and compare these with values that can be deduced from Kroger's analysis of the experimental data. We consider neutral, singly-charged and doubly-charged defects and from our analysis estimate the edge of the co~lduction band. We.also consider the effect of dopants such as Li+, Na', A13+, Ga3+, In3+ and H + . Finally we consider the energ...

In a two-stage public goods experiment, we study the effect that subjects’ possibility of contributing to a public good in the first stage of the game has on the voluntary contributions to the second public good. Our results show that subjects do not follow either the Nash strategy or the Pareto efficient strategy and that they perceive the two public goods as substitutes. JEL Classification: A...

Laa+ stimulated quiescent Swiss 3T3 and 3T6 ceils to enter the DNA-synthesizing S phase of the cell cycle. La 3+ and insulin interacted synergistically to increase DNA syn thes i s . A br ie f exposure of the cells to soluble LaCI~ optimally stimulated entry into S. La 3+ was s imi lar to A13+ in its mitogenic properties (3. Cell. Physiol. l l g , 298, 198#), but La ~+ was i0 times more potent ...

In a two-stage public goods experiment, we study the framing effect due to the adoption of a cultural context. Our results show a slight increase in the allocations of subjects’ endowments to the cultural good when the cultural context is implemented in the laboratory. In particular, in one treatment, the framing effect has a strong impact in the last two periods only. JEL Classification: A13, ...

This documents describes the data collection and use for the computation of rankings within RePEc (Research Papers in Economics). This encompasses the determination of impact factors for journals and working paper series, as well as the ranking of authors, institutions and geographic regions. The various ranking methods are also compared, using a snapshot of the data. Journal of Economic Litera...

This text is to appear in a volume produced at the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Léon Walras death. The first part (introduction) answers one initial demand (to the solicited authors), i.e the evaluation of Walras influence on their own research and more generally on contemporary research. The second part “Between the Capitol Hill and the Tarpeian Rock ? ” goes further into the discussio...

A large market economy has a huge number of degrees of freedom with weak microlevel coordination. The ‘implicit microfoundations’ approach considers this property of micro-level interactions to more strongly determine macro-level outcomes compared to the precise details of individual choice behavior; that is, the ‘particle’ nature of individuals dominates their ‘mechanical’ nature. So rather th...

Whitman argues that group selection is consistent with methodological individualism. He begins by defining a weak form of methodological individualism in which agents are not necessarily self-interested or rational and shows that this form of is consistent with Sober and Wilson’s model of group selection. However, Sober and Wilson’s group selection is also consistent with a methodological indiv...

It is well established that blocking the interaction of EGFR with growth factors leads to the arrest of tumor growth, resulting in tumor cell death. ER414 is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) derived by guided selection of the mouse mAb A13. The ER414 exhibited a ~17-fold lower affinity and, as a result, lower efficacy of inhibition of the EGF-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR when comp...
