In the early 1970s, Kihlstrom and Evans reported that hypnotizable subjects who remembered at least some of the items in a standardized hypnotic susceptibility scale, despite a suggestion for complete amnesia, tended not to recall these items in the order in which they had been administered; insusceptible subjects, by contrast, tended to recall the items sequentially (Evans & Kihlstrom, 1973; K...

Acknowledgement: I appreciate the constructive comments of Andrew Austin and three anonymous referees for the Journal of Economic Education. Abstract I present a brief classroom demonstration illustrating Bertrand price undercutting. The classroom demonstration is appropriate for Micro Principles, and both intermediate and upper level undergraduate, as well as graduate classes in micro, Industr...

Unique Nash Equilibrium: p1 = p2 = c. Proof: If pi = c, then there is no price at which firm j can earn strictly positive profit so that pj = c is a best response. Thus, p1 = p2 = c is a NE. To show uniqueness, note that if c < pi < pj , then firm j earns zero profit and can do strictly better by unilaterally deviating and charging a price ∈ (c, pi). If c = pi < pj , then firm i earns zero prof...

Perlick’s classification of (3 + 1)-dimensional spherically symmetric and static spacetimes (M, η = − 1 V dt + g) for which the classical Bertrand theorem holds [Perlick V 1992 Class. Quantum Grav. 9 1009] is revisited. For any Bertrand spacetime (M, η) the term V (r) is proven to be either the intrinsic Kepler– Coulomb or the harmonic oscillator potential on its associated Riemannian 3manifold...

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are commonly used for improving the End User experience of a content delivery service while keeping cost at a reasonable level. This document focuses on use cases that correspond to identified industry needs and that are expected to be realized once open interfaces and protocols supporting the interconnection of CDNs are specified and implemented. This document ...

Do Legal Standards Affect Ethical Concerns of Consumers? In order to address the impact of regulation on ethical concerns of consumers, we study the effect of a minimum wage. In our experimental market, consumers have monopsony power, firms engage in Bertrand competition, and workers are passive recipients of a wage payment. Two treatments are employed, one with no minimum wage in the first par...

Early Days: Kantian Freedom and Extreme Realism Moore entered Cambridge University as an undergraduate in 1892 intending to study classics. There he met another undergraduate, Bertrand Russell, who convinced him to switch to philosophy. His teachers included the Absolute Idealist, J.M.E. McTaggart and the ethicist Henry Sidgwick, both of whom had an influence on him that was reflected in his 18...
