This paper reports on an experiment designed to analyze information revelation in sequential guessing games. We observe a remarkable frequency of equilibrium outcomes. Deviations from the equilibrium are explained by learning considerations. By means of applying panel data econometric techniques, we find the presence of error cascades, which represent the situation where the deviation from lear...

Heterogeneity in Real Wage Cyclicality This paper presents evidence that real wage cyclicality can be a particularly heterogeneous parameter, depending on different worker characteristics and also on the specific stage of the business cycle. Using matched employer-employee panel data for Portugal covering the period 1986-2004, real wages are shown to be considerably more procyclical during rece...

in the construction process of a plastic concrete cut-off wall, concreting is usually performed using the termie pipe method. in this method, concreting is performed from the lowest point in the excavated trench (containing the slurry) using a funnel and the pipe connected to it. the concrete poured in the funnel gradually settles in the panel through the termie pipe which is beneath the slurry...
