Many theoretical models of transition are driven by the assumption that economic decision making is subject to political constraints. In this paper we empirically test whether the winners and losers of economic reform determined voting behaviour in the first five national elections in the Czech Republic. We propose that voters, taking stock of endowments from the planning era, could predict whe...

Testosterone (T) levels can fluctuate after wins and losses, but surprisingly, there are no empirical studies in humans that have tested whether these post-competition T changes predict the social behaviors that follow. The present study examined whether changes in T after losing in a competition predicted who wanted to compete again in a second competition. Sixty-four males provided saliva sam...

Abstract Fronts are particularly productive regions of the ocean, and biodiversity hotspots for many marine species. Here we use an ocean-ecosystem model to investigate effect fronts on plankton ecology. We focus energetic in Western Boundary Current systems that efficiently inject nutrients into euphotic layer which physical boundaries between oligotrophic provinces. found form environment dis...

Momentum is one of the most robust anomalies in financial markets, there are two main recent explanations for this phenomenon, a behavioral-based explanation through disposition-effect (i.e., willingness to sell “winners” too quickly and hold “losers” long time) fund-flow based explanation. The centered convergence spread between fundamental value observed market price (disposition-effect cause...
