Stochastic Deadlines: A Comparison of Parallel Multiple Auction Designs
No full textIn online auction platforms, offers are listed side by side and may end at the same point in time. While theoretical studies predict efficient coordination across auctions, experimental and empirical studies observe efficiency losses, i.e. goods remain unsold. In order to mitigate this coordination failure, we contribute to the literature of auction design by introducing a stochastic deadline in parallel multiple auctions. In these parallel Candle Auctions, several auctions start at the same time but end (separately) due to a stochastic process. We think that the stochastic ending rule decreases the coordination failure because the threat of a sudden termination forces the bidders to coordinate across auctions early in the auction process. Indeed, we find that coordination is less pronounced in parallel Candle Auctions resulting in higher efficiencySimultaneous Auctions, Internet, Auction Design, Experimental Economics

Rational Legal Decision-Making, Value Judgment and Efficient Precaution in Tort law
No full textBy reinterpreting Savage axioms as axioms of the social rationality over resource allocations, we derive a social welfare function encompassing individual social values and a social attitude towards distributional inequality. Wealth maximization becomes the purpose of law only if individuals have equal social values and the society does not care about distributional inequality. In tort law, when the injurer is less socially valued than the victim, the society imposes a stricter due precaution level, and punitive damages will be awarded. Tort law also implicitly transfers wealth from the less socially valued party to the more socially valued party.rationality; value judgement; tort law; punitive damage
Bidding Behavior in Competing Auctions: Evidence from eBay
No full textMuch of the existing auction literature treats auctions as running independently of one another, with each bidder choosing to participate in only one auction. However, in many online auctions, a number of substitutable goods are auctioned concurrently and bidders can bid on several auctions at the same time. Recent theoretical research shows how bidders can gain from the existence of competing auctions, the current paper providing the first empirical evidence in support of competing auctions theory using online auctions data from eBay. Our results indicate that a significant proportion of bidders do bid across competing auctions and that bidders tend to submit bids on auctions with the lowest standing bid, as the theory predicts. The paper also shows that winning bidders who cross-bid pay lower prices on average than winning bidders who do not.Competing Auction, Cross-Bidding, Auction Empirics
Composition of New Music for Zheng
No full text[[abstract]]Zheng, also known as Guzheng, is a traditional music instrument, and, yet, capable of producing new sounds with widely varying styles of music. Therefore, the author adopted it as the research theme of this thesis study. Improvement of this music instrument was driven by social and cultural needs of each era. Better understanding of its characteristics was achieved through investigation of the instrument evolution, technique development and the scale system. Such understandings may be applied to the composition of Zheng music. Subsequently, the author analyzed the Zheng music of contemporary Taiwanese composers. Through research on music teachers’ works, the author was able to transform the learned techniques into author’s own music expressions. Using these elements, the author composed three Zheng music pieces as a demonstration of her transforming theoretical studies into creation of new Zheng music.
This thesis comprises five chapters:
Chapter 1 is the “Introduction,” which presents the motivation and purpose of this study as well as the sequence of the study and the structure of the thesis.
Chapter 2 is the “History of Zheng,” which describes the evolution of the instrument, the playing techniques and its scale system.
Chapter 3 is the “Analysis of Zheng Music by Contemporary Taiwanese Composers,” which allows the author to transform music phrases of other composers into music expressions of the author’s own.
Chapter 4 is the “Composition of New Music for Zheng, by author” which presents the three compositions for Zheng ensembles of different sizes.
Chapter 5 is the “Conclusions,” which summarizes the important findings of this study that may serve as the guidelines for future compositions.

A translation comparison of stray birds between Zheng Zhenduo’s version and Feng Tang’s version : from the perspective of manipulation theory
No full textThis paper employed Lefevere’s Manipulation Theory to explain respectively how
three main factors of Manipulation Theory, namely patronage, ideology and poetics
controlled Zheng Zhenduo’s and Feng Tang’s translation activity of Tagore’s Stray
Birds. And then the paper will analyze their translation strategies by comparing
certain poems in Stray Birds. However, author of this paper did not aim to reconfirm
Lefevere’s Manipulation Theory, but under his theoretical framework, tried to
interpret translation phenomenon from an extra-linguistic perspective.
Through analysis and comparison, the importance of three core elements was
different in those two versions. For Zheng Zhenduo, three main elements shared equal
impacts on his translation. His individual ideology and poetics conformed to
prevailing ideology and poetics in those days, and his patronage also exerted a
positive influence, therefore his Stray Birds received favorable reviews.
In Feng Tang’s case, individual poetics played the most important role. Although his
poetics reflected literary trends to some extent, but that is still not the mainstream in
today’s literary market. The translator’s subjectivity in Feng’s version was clearly
stronger than Zheng’s. For the purpose of literary innovation and commercial interests,
patronage did not manipulate Feng’s translation too much. As a result, Feng Tang’s
Stray Birds was forced to stop sales.
