Cheating or ‘Collaborative Work’: Does it Pay?
Being a distance education institution, our current infrastructure does not allow group or collaborative work on undergraduate level. Although students are allowed to work together and assist each other, each student is required to submit individual attempts for assignments and/or projects.

It then asks the question whether a rise in competition tends to make firms more enterprising or more defensive. Distinguishing three ways in which competition can be intensified, I find the following results. A rise in the number of opponents and a reduction in opponents’ costs make a f...
متن کاملDoes chemometrics enhance the performance of electroanalysis?
This review explores the question whether chemometrics methods enhance the performance of electroanalytical methods. Electroanalysis has long benefited from the well-established techniques such as potentiometric titrations, polarography and voltammetry, and the more novel ones such as electronic tongues and noses, which have enlarged the scope of applications. The electroanalytical methods have...
متن کاملDoes competition among public offi cials reduce corruption? An experiment∗
Despite the abundance of theoretical and empirical studies on corruption, identifying successful anti-corruption strategies remains a challenge. This paper tests the effectiveness of an anti-corruption policy that is often discussed among practitioners: an increase in competition among offi cials providing the same good or service. In particular, we investigate whether overlapping jurisdictions...
