Maximizing the value of science: no news can be good news
When scientists choose research projects with the highest expected value an externality can appear; slight variations on existing work will be selected in preference to new lines of research that would ultimately generate more value. New research enjoys two advantages: it is riskier and hence more likely to lead to high-value spin-o¤ projects and it can generate more spin-o¤ projects. Less comm...
متن کاملBad News Can Be Good News: Early Dropouts in an English Auction with Multi-dimensional Signals
In this note we provide an example of an English auction with multi-dimensional signals, which satisfies the regularity conditions in Milgrom and Weber (1982), including affiliation and monotonicity. However, we demonstrate that a “reversal” may arise: an earlier dropout may be better news to the seller than a later dropout, and the expected revenue can be decreasing over some range of clock pr...
متن کاملForeign Aid Fungibility, Growth, and Poverty Reduction
This paper tries to assess to which extent fungibility in sectoral foreign development assistance is something donors should be concerned about. This is done in three steps. First, country specific estimates of the degree of fungibility are obtained. These are then incorporated in a well established empirical aid-growth equation. Third, arguing that the aid-growth relation may not be the releva...
متن کاملRepresentations Can Be Good Enough
When working remotely with physical objects obvious problems of reference arise because of the lack of a mutually shared object. Systems aiming to support such work tend to be based on understandings of face-to-face interaction and frequently use video. However, video introduces new interactional problems. This paper describes a field study of remote interaction around objects that is telephone...
متن کاملCross-linking can be good
combined oxidase/peroxidase that does the cross-linking, the cuticle separates into distinct layers, resulting in translucent worms that often suffer from massive blisters and defective movement. The clue that the cross-linking enzyme (called Duox for Dual Oxidase) might exist came from studies of phagocyte NADPH-oxidase. The latter enzyme generates bursts of superoxide to effect killing of eng...
