I present a model of consumption and portfolio choice under market incompleteness and imperfect information regarding the investment opportunity set. I solve analytically the consumption and portfolio choice problem for an investor learning about the true state of the economy. When prices are the only observations, the previously unspanned state variables are spanned by the market securities un...

There is seemingly a growing range of workplace-based learning arrangements requiring more experienced workers to assist the development of less experienced co-workers. Much attention has been given to evaluating the quality of these learning arrangements and their outcomes for learners. However, little attention has been given to the demands upon and outcomes for the more experienced workers w...

Interest in developing gene drive systems to control invasive species is growing, with New Zealand reportedly considering the nascent technology as a way to locally eliminate the mammalian pests that threaten its unique flora and fauna. If gene drives successfully eradicated these invasive populations, many would rejoice, but what are the possible consequences? Here, we explore the risk of acci...

Rank R demand systems that are either conditioned on some good (such as durables) or are separable from that good, are shown to be identical to unconditional demand systems having rank R or R+1. More generally, the rank of a conditional demand system or a separable subsystem is a lower bound on the rank of the corresponding demand system over all goods. This relationship is applied to reinterpr...

The relation between attention demand and the number of items in the array (array size) was investigated by engaging subjects in a primary search task and measuring spare capacity at different points in time, with a secondary tone task that occurred randomly on half of the trials. The major variables in both tasks were array size (4, 8, or 12 letters) and stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA: -400, -...

The greatest impact of interactive media will arise only when they too exhibit these characteristics. However, rich interactive characters and rich interactive story are unfamiliar concepts. The Oz Project is trying to bring together writers, artists, and arti...

To facilitate the production of the text that you are now reading I (MT) am using a common word processing application running on a personal computer. As I write, the word processor is monitoring what I type for spelling errors. If I asked it to, it would also check to see if the text I produce is grammatical (according to its own, somewhat arcane criteria). Elsewhere on the computer I have an ...
