Classicism and False Values

Trust, Values and False Consensus

Individuals’beliefs about the trustworthiness of a generic member of the population (trust beliefs) are both heterogeneous across individuals and persistent across generations. We investigate one mechanism yielding these dual patterns: false consensus. In the context of a trust game experiment, we show that the relationship between behavior and beliefs is consistent with individuals extrapolati...

Trust beliefs are heterogeneous across individuals and, at the same time, persistent across generations. We investigate one mechanism yielding these dual patterns: false consensus. In the context of a trust game experiment, we show that individuals extrapolate from their own type when forming trust beliefs about the same pool of potential partners i.e., more (less) trustworthy individuals form ...

Post-classicism in Tree Amplitudes

This is a short and simple introduction into perturbiners, that is, the solutions of field equations which are generating functions for tree amplitudes. The perturbiners have been constructed in Yang-Mills, in SUSY Yang-Mills, in gravity, and in sin(h)-Gordon.
