The strategy method lowers measured trustworthy behavior
No full textIn a trust game experiment, we elicited choices using either the so-called game or strategy method. While yielding similar rates of trust, the strategy method reveals a significantly lower rate of trustworthiness
What Can Laboratory Experiments Teach Us About Emissions Permit Market Design?
No full textThe laboratory provides a test bed to inform many design choices for emissions permit markets. Experiments are sometimes strongly motivated and structured by specific theoretical models and predictions, but in other cases the experiment itself can be the model of the market and regulatory environment. We review specific experimental applications that address design issues for permit auction rules, permit expiration dates and banking, liability rules, and regulatory enforcement.cap-and-trade, auctions, liability, regulation, compliance, banking, Environmental Economics and Policy, Institutional and Behavioral Economics,
Explicit versus implicit contracts for dividing the benefits of cooperation
No full textExperimental evidence has accumulated highlighting the limitations of formal and explicit contracts in certain situations, and has identified environments in which informal and implicit contracts are more efficient. This paper documents the superior performance of explicit over implicit contracts in a new partnership environment in which both contracting parties must incur effort to generate a joint surplus, and one (“strong”) agent controls the surplus division. In the treatment in which the strong agent makes a non-binding, cheap talk “bonus” offer to the weak agent, this unenforceable promise doubles the rate of joint high effort compared to a baseline with no promise. The strong agents most frequently offered to split the gains of the high effort equally, but actually delivered this amount only about one-quarter of the time. An explicit and enforceable contract offer performs substantially better, increasing the frequency of the most efficient outcome by over 200% relative to the baseline
Geology and stratigraphy of the Cason di Lanza area (Mount Zermula, Carnic Alps, Italy)
No full textIn the Cason di Lanza-Mt. Zermula area rocks from
Ordovician to Permian are exposed. They belong to the "Variscan sequence" and to the "Permo–Carboniferous sequence" of the Carnic Alps. The structural settings and the stratigraphic sequence
of neritic and pelagic deposits are described
Sellers' hedging incentives at EPA's emission trading auction
No full textCason (1993)argued thattheauction theEPAused in order to start the market for sulfur allowances, is not efficient. The set-up of the auction gives both buyers and sellers an incentive to understate their valuation of an allowance. In this paper, we show that the sellers’ incentives are even more perverse than Cason suggested. In particular, we show that sellers have an incentive to set their ask price equal to zero, while simultaneously hedging their bets by submitting a positive bid. It is not possible to derive the Nash equilibrium for this set-up. If such an equilibrium exists, sellers either set only a positive ask price, or an ask price equal to zero, and a positive bid as well.
Cason di Lanza, Leggere il passato nelle rocce. Le guide del Geoparco della Carnia - 1
No full textSituato circa a metà della strada che congiunge Paularo a Pontebba, il Passo del Cason di Lanza è lo spartiacque tra il Torrente Pontebbana, che scorre a est per gettarsi nel Fella presso Pontebba, e il Rio di Lanza che, unendosi a ovest al Rio Cercevesa presso Ramaz, dà origine al torrente Chiarsò. Secondo la tradizione popolare il nome deriva dalle lance che si rinvenivano, assieme ad altre armi, in quest’area, testimonianze della vittoriosa battaglia che le truppe della Repubblica Veneta, aiutate da volontari friulani, combatterono contro i turchi nell’estate del 1478. La Valle del Rio di Lanza e la testata di quella del Torrente Pontebbana sono una tra le più interessanti aree naturalistiche della Regione. La diversità degli ambienti naturali che caratterizza i dintorni del Cason di Lanza è legata alle particolari condizioni geologiche di queste valli. Antiche rocce formatesi nei mari del Paleozoico affiorano diffusamente e conservano importanti testimonianze della vita che popolava quei mari centinaia di milioni di anni fa: i fossili
