Equality over intentionality: The normative social preferences of neutral third-parties
No full textThis paper studies whether intentionality is more prevalent than fairness in social preferences. We do this by introducing a new three-player game in which the choices of neutral third-party arbiters are isolated from any monetary or strategic concerns. This allows us to study the normative preferences of subjects, and to compare the relative weight they give to intentions and inequality. The results show that arbiters are mainly concerned with inequality, while other’s (selfish) intentions seem to play a minor role in their preferences. This result is robust to a series of experimental designs, suggesting that the role of intentions in social preferences might be smaller than implied by the previous literature.DFG, 325093850, Open Access Publizieren 2017 - 2018 / Technische Universität BerlinDFG, SFB 649, Ökonomisches Risik
Electrified Haber-Bosch Process: Green Ammonia Production
No full textThis report provides a design for a new process to make the ammonia-producing Haber-Bosch process more sustainable by reducing its CO2 emissions. It presents different elements of a process design with most importantly; process diagrams, mass and energy balances and a techno-economic analysis. The most important differences in this process is the use of water electrolysis and nitrogen production. This process emits approximately 50% less CO2 than regular Haber-Bosch methods. Nevertheless, the techno-economic analysis shows that this method is very expensive and that ammonia can only be sold at an acceptable price conform to the market with subsidies on electricity prices and can only become competitive if CO2 taxes are implemented for classic Haber-Bosch plants.Renewables Based Energy Conversion and StorageWB3595 Design ProjectMechanical Engineering | Process and Energy Technolog
Preferences of neutral third-parties in three-player ultimatum games
No full textWe present a three-player game in which a proposer makes a suggestion on how to split 0. Our results show a decision-maker whose main concern is to reduce the inequality between proposer and responder and who, in order to do so, is willing to reject both selfish and generous offers.This pattern of rejections is robust through a series of treatments which include changing the "flat-fee" payoff of the decision-maker, introducing a monetary cost for the decision-maker in case the offer ends up in a rejection, or letting a computer replace the proposer to randomly make the splitting suggestion between proposer and responder. Further, through these different treatments we are able to show that decision- makers ignore the intentions behind the proposers suggestions, as well as ignoring their own relative payoffs, two surprising results given the existing literature
