The Allais Paradox and Upside/Downside Risk Preference: An Experimental Analysis With Probability Weighting and Chernoff Faces

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Allais Paradox is often attributed to the strong attraction of a certain option that avoids a downside risk, i.e., a small chance of a low payoff. In contrast, there is clear evidence from laboratory and field data that people are attracted to the upside risk of obtaining a relatively high payoff.

Confinement‐Induced Enhancement of Solid‐State Emission Quantum Yield in Rubrene@MOF Hybrid Materials

open access: yesZeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
Pore‐size‐controlled nanoconfinement of rubrene within UiO‐66 and UiO‐67 suppresses aggregation‐caused quenching and restores bright solid‐state emission. Geometric exclusion and energetic destabilization prevent parallel stacking, yielding solution‐like absorption and fluorescence quantum yields up to 25%.
