We examine whether the ‘Level-k’ model of strategic behavior generates reliable cross-game testable predictions at the level of the individual player. Subjects’ observed levels are fairly consistent within one family of similar games, but within another family of games there is virtually no cross-game correlation. Moreover, the relative ranking of subjects’ levels is not consistent within the s...

Objective: Little activity has occurred in nursing home (information technology) IT adoption. The purpose of this study was to describe the range of IT sophistication for resident management processes and explore the association of IT sophistication with nursing home ownership, bedsize, and regional status. Methods: This descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional study used an IT sophistication ...

We present a game-theoretic model of political discourse that explores how strategic incentives to make potentially persuasive arguments vary across different informational contexts. We show that political sophistication of the listeners fundamentally affects the speakers’ incentives to make informative arguments, increasing the informed speech for speakers who are less likely to be successful ...

Since the 1950s, antifungal drug discovery has identified three classes of natural products (griseofulvin, polyenes and echinocandins) and four classes of synthetic chemicals (allylamines, azoles, flucytosine and phenylmorpholines) with clinical value against fungal infections. For life threatening fungal disease, the polyene amphotericin B is still a common choice despite toxic side-effects. T...

OBJECTIVE There is growing recognition that a more sophisticated information technology (IT) infrastructure is needed to improve the quality of nursing home care in the United States. The purpose of this study was to explore the concept of IT sophistication in nursing homes considering the level of technological diversity, maturity and level of integration in resident care, clinical support, an...

The idea of intelligent (embodied) agents for humor pioneered by Nijholt (2001, 2002) and Stock (1996; see also the fundamental Stock and Strapparava, 2002) has had an impressive start but, as with all really interesting intelligent agent projects, is far from complete implementation. Mindful of all the difficulties and obstacles on the way to full implementation, most but not all related to AI...

Based on the quasi-natural experiment of sewage charges standard reform, this paper adopts a staggered difference-in-difference model to empirically investigate effect environmental regulation firms’ export sophistication and mechanism effect, using matched data from Chinese Annual Survey Industrial Firms Custom Trade databases 2004 2013. The results show that (1) policy reform significantly pr...

In this study, two advanced computational text analysis tools were used to catalogue lexical and cohesive features of deceptive language and language accordance (i.e., agreement/disagreement on topic of conversation) in a corpus of dyadic conversations. The study specifically focused on how the variable of accordance conditions the process of deception in terms of lexical and cohesive features....

We propose a model in which investors cannot costlessly process information from asset prices. At the trading stage, investors are boundedly rational and their interpretation of prices injects noise into the price system, which serves as a source of endogenous noise trading. Compared to the standard rational expectations equilibrium, our setup features price momentum and yields higher return vo...

In information systems and organization theory research, the alignment or fit between information technology (IT) and organizational structure has long been hypothesised to be a sine qua non for success. However, few solid results have been found linking this relationship to enterprise level performance, as problems abound in defining and measuring IT, performance and the fit between technology...
