Correspondence study field experiments with political elites are a recent addition to legislative studies research, in which unsolicited emails sent gauge their responsiveness. In this article, we discuss ethical implications. We advance from the viewpoint that correspondence involve trade-offs between costs and benefits need be carefully weighted. elaborate argument two contributions mind. Fir...

The incorporation of several anti-rodent masterbatches into polyethylene (PE) granules used for gas pipes and the effects of the masterbatches on the physical properties of the pipes were studied. Four commercial anti-rodent masterbatches from different international companies including, Clariant, Alchemix, PolyOne, and Newgen were used in this research. Each of the masterbatch was primarily dr...

Do we say dog when we say hotdog? In five experiments using the implicit priming paradigm, we assessed whether nominal compounds composed of two free morphemes like sawdust or fishbowl are prepared for production at the segmental level in the same way that two-syllable monomorphemic words (e.g. bandit) are, or instead as sequences of separable words (e.g. full bowl or grey dust). The experiment...

a two-factor experiment with interaction between factors wherein observations follow an inverse gaussian model is considered. analysis of the experiment is approached via an empirical bayes procedure. the conjugate family of prior distributions is considered. bayes and empirical bayes estimators are derived. application of the procedure is illustrated on a data set, which has previously been an...

Individuals may perceive themselves as independent and distinct from others or as interdependent and connected to others. Do these differences in self-construal influence entrepreneurial preferences and intentions to start a new business in university students?

Political scientists frequently interpret the results of conjoint experiments as reflective majority preferences. In this article, we show that target estimand experiments, average marginal component effect (AMCE), is not well defined in these terms. Even with individually rational experimental subjects, AMCE can indicate opposite true preference majority. To this, characterize aggregation rule...
