The first part of this work uses the algorithm recently detailed in Kawasetsu and Ridout (Commun Contemp Math 24:2150037, 2022. arXiv:1906.02935 [math.RT]) to classify irreducible weight modules minimal model vertex operator algebra $${\textsf {L} }_{{\textsf {k} }}(\mathfrak {sl}_{3})$$ , when level }$$ is admissible. These are naturally described terms families parametrised by up two complex ...

The experimental evidence on contests often reports overspending of contest participants compared to the theoretical Nash equilibrium outcome. We show that a standard level-k model may rationalize in contests. This result complements existing literature contests, and it bridges an open gap between auction literature. In fact, auctions runs parallel contests.Overbidding has also been documented ...

We extend the proportional hazards model to a two-level model with a random intercept term and random coefficients. The parameters in the multilevel model are estimated by a combination of EM and Newton-Raphson algorithms. Even for samples of 50 groups, this method produces estimators of the fixed effects coefficients that are approximately unbiased and normally distributed. Two different metho...
