Partnerships are the prevalent organizational form in many industries. Most partnerships share profits equally among the partners. Following Kandel and Lazear (1992) it is often argued that “peer pressure” mitigates the arising free-rider problem. This line of reasoning takes the equal sharing rule as exogenously given. The purpose of our paper is to show that with inequity averse partners – a ...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation rentals continue to grow at a phenomenal rate. Examining how this business model affects the competitive landscape of accommodation services is of strategic importance to hotels and tourism destinations. This study explores the competitive edge of P2P accommodation in comparison to hotels by extracting key content and themes from online reviews to explain the ke...

In most peer-to-peer systems, edge resources self-organize into overlay networks. At the core of Freenet-style peer-to-peer systems are insert and request algorithms that dynamically change the overlay network and replicate files on demand. We ran simulations to test how effective these algorithms are at improving the performance of subsequent queries. Our results show that for the original Fre...

Motivated by distributed implementation of game-theoretical algorithms, we study symmetric systems, i.e. systems of processes which are intuitively “treated on an equal footing”, and the problem of attaining common knowledge between processes. We formalize our setting by defining peer-to-peer networks and appropriate symmetry notions in the context of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) [1...

Three boys with autism participated in a study of the effects of magnitude and quality of reinforcement on choice responding. Two concurrent response alternatives were arranged: (a) to play in an area where a peer or sibling was located, or (b) to play in an area where there was no peer or sibling. During one condition, the magnitude (i.e., duration of access to toys) or quality (level of prefe...

Abstract The capacity of expert musicians to coordinate with each other when playing in ensembles or rehearsing has been widely investigated. However, little is known about the ability novices achieve satisfactory coordinated behaviour making music together. We tested whether performance accuracy differs play a newly learned drumming pattern another musically untrained individual (duo group) al...

We investigate co-worker peer effects in the use of parental leave Sweden. an instrumental variable approach called “peers peers”, which taken by family peers (siblings and cousins) co-workers is used as instrument for co-workers’ leave. For fathers, we find that a 10-day increase average increases their approximately one half days, while, mothers, day. The results are robust to alternative mod...
