PRELIMINARY AND INCOMPLETE, PLEASE DO NOT CITE WITHOUT PERMISSION. Using a new dataset covering reverse convertible bonds, this paper nds evidence of retail consumers frequently buying unambiguously dominated nancial products. It is common practice for a bank to simultaneously issue identical reverse convertible bonds at the same price with di erent interest rates/coupons such that the payout o...

There is an ongoing debate in the philosophical literature whether conditionals that are central to deliberation subjunctive or indicative and, if latter, what semantics of conditional compatible with role play deliberation. We propose a possible-world where form “if I take action outcome will be x” interpreted as material conditionals. The proposed framework illustrated familiar examples and b...

Irish policy towards foreign direct investment has evolved since the 1950s as a strategy driven primarily by the use of fiscal incentives to enhance the profitability of locating in Ireland, with grants as required to achieve a particular bargaining advantage in competing against alternative international locations. Our empirical analysis of European firms in Ireland suggests that the investmen...

A Bayesian variable selection procedure is used to control for uncertainty in the specification of a recreational demand model. In contrast to comparing models based on the likelihood values with unknown sampling properties (as in, e.g., Egan et al, 2009), we propose a model that draws on the Bayesian paradigm to integrate the variable selection process into the model and reflect the accompanyi...

Twenty-five years ago, Dennis Egan published a review on the impact of individual differences in human-computer interaction, where he claimed that users are more diverse than designs are [5]. While being cited frequently, this claim has not been tested since then. An efficient research design for separating and comparing variance components is presented, together with a statistical model to tes...

This study examined the factor structure of a scale based on the four-dimensional gender identity model (Egan and Perry, 2001) in 726 Chinese elementary school students. Exploratory factor analyses suggested a three-factor model, two of which corresponded to "Felt Pressure" and "Intergroup Bias" in the original model. The third factor "Gender Compatibility" appeared to be a combination of "Gend...
