How often do wrong models produce better phylogenies?
As phylogenetic analyses find widespread use in various fields of biology, studies on methods of phylogeny reconstruction are becoming ever more important. Although tree reconstruction has been identified as a statistical estimation problem since the pioneering work of Cavalli-Sforza and Edwards (1967), the complexity of the problem does not seem to be well recognized. In this note I report sim...

متن کاملDo Taxes Produce Better Wine?
Theory predicts that unit taxes increase the quality in a market since unit taxes reduce the relative price of high quality goods. Ad valorem taxes, on the other hand, have no effect on relative prices and should not affect product quality. The hypothesis is tested empirically in the US wine market. I find that the market share of high quality wine is significantly increased by unit taxes and t...
متن کاملHow often do managers withhold information?
We estimate and test a model of voluntary disclosure in which a manager’s information set is uncertain (Dye 1985; Jung and Kwon 1988). In this model, a manager makes his disclosure decision to maximize the market price, but sometimes, for exogenous reasons, he cannot or is not willing to disclose. We offer a flexible framework to measure the prevalence of unobservable disclosure frictions and t...
متن کاملLow cost prototyping: part 1, or how to produce better ideas faster by getting user reactions early and often
Although approaches to User Centered Software Development have existed for almost 20 years a rift still exists between theory and practice. In practice, many software projects are designed at the code level. Almost automatically, the end user the human being vanishes from the viewpoint of the software developers. Good Usability Engineering combines complex back-end functionalities with a well o...
