In this paper I formulate a continuous time and continuous space version of Harris and Vickers (1987) Racing Under Uncertainty with potentially asymmetric players. To prove the existence and uniqueness of the equilibria, I use a boundary value problem formulation which is novel to the dynamic competition literature. In some cases, I obtain closed-form solutions of the equilibria in which equili...

Using a field experiment in a 401(k) plan, we measure the effect of disseminating information about peer behavior on savings. Low-saving employees received simplified plan enrollment or contribution increase forms. A randomized subset of forms stated the fraction of age-matched coworkers participating in the plan or age-matched participants contributing at least 6% of pay to the plan. We docume...

THERE is probably no skin disease of greater importance to the human race than acne. It is undoubtedly our commonest skin disease, and it is rare that any individual reaches maturity without having had it in one of its phases. It is a disease of considerable economic importance, as the disfiguring scars of a severe case are never completely obliterated. It is also a disease of youth. It attains...

Primary resistance to tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is quite uncommon in chronic-phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and related to still poorly understood mechanisms, as ABL mutations are rarely detected in primary resistant patients. We report the challenging case of a CML patient who was resistant to multiple TKIs because of different emerging ABL mutations and became pregnant while on ...

This paper explores the continuous time and continuous space model of racing under uncertainty put forward by Budd, Harris, and Vickers (1993) and allows for potentially asymmetric players. To prove the existence of Markov perfect equilibria, I use a boundary value problem formulation which is novel to the dynamic competition literature. In addition, by providing a new and intuitive definition ...

PMR is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease in the elderly and is one of the biggest indications for long-term steroid therapy. There are difficulties in diagnosis, with heterogeneity in presentation, response to steroids and disease course. The aim of these guidelines is a safe and specific diagnostic process for PMR, using continued assessment, and discouragement of hasty initial tr...

Although self-modifying code has been shyed away from due to its complexity and discouragement safety issues, it nevertheless provides for a very unique obfuscation method different perspective on the relationship between data code.  The generality of von Neumann architecture is hardly realized by today's processor models.  A code-only model shown where every instruction merely modifies other i...

We conduct a field experiment on conflict in swimming pools. When all lanes are occupied, an actor joins the least crowded lane and asks one of swimmers to move another lane. The represents contested scarce resource. vary actor’s valuation (high low) for good through message they deliver. Also, we take advantage natural variation number proxy their valuation. Consistent with theoretical predict...

Abstract STEM fields, such as physics, increasingly rely on complex programs to analyse large datasets, thus teaching students the required programming skills is an important component of all curricula. Since undergraduate often have no prior coding experience, they are reliant error messages primary diagnostic tool identify and correct mistakes. However, notoriously cryptic undecipherable for ...
