The future of biology and biomedicine lies at the intersection of data gathering, hypothesis generation, and hypothesis testing. It is increasingly easy to gather large amounts of relevant data, but interpretation of that data and connection of that data to downstream hypothesis-driven experimentation is still difficult and rare. Effectively integrating large scale data analysis with “wet” biol...

the term xenophobia describes a social phenomenon rooted in fear and hatred of foreigners from different ethnic groups. this phenomenon is understandably reflected in five shakespearean plays: the merchant of venice, othello, the tempest, titus andronicus, and anthony and cleopatra; among which, the merchant of venice has more importance in addressing foreign characters and groups (i.e. shylock...

In their seminal paper Groves and Ledyard (1976) construct a balanced incentive compatible mechanism that solves the free-rider problem. In subsequent research, Bergstrom, Simon, and Titus (1983) prove that there exist numerous asymmetric equilibria in addition to the symmetric equilibrium. In the present paper we explicitly solve for the additional equilibria and use computational experiments ...

In this paper, we describe all interior and boundary equilibria of the GrovesLedyard mechanism and test their stability. We provide closed form solutions for the equilibria discovered by Bergstrom, Simon, and Titus and show that these equilibria fail to exist when the punishment parameter is high. We further show that the Groves-Ledyard equilibrium is the unique stable interior equilibrium for ...
