Reference Points and Effort Provision [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 A key open question for theories of reference-dependent preferences is: what determines the reference point? One candidate is expectations: what people expect could affect how they feel about what actually occurs. In a real-effort experiment, we manipulate the rational expectations of subjects and check whether this manipulation influences their ...

Contracts as Reference Points - Experimental Evidence [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008 Hart and John Moore (2008) introduce new behavioral assumptions that can explain long-term contracts and the employment relation. We examine experimentally their idea that contracts serve as reference points. The evidence confirms the prediction that there is a trade-off between rigidity and flexibility.

Berthing Assistant System Using Reference Points
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 With more goods to be transported oversea, traffic and vessels’ dimensions increase while berthing areas merely remain constant and thus challenge ship masters and pilots to maneuver in small basins with dense traffic even in bad weather situations.

Matching shapes with a reference point [PDF]
Proceedings of the tenth annual symposium on Computational geometry - SCG '94, 1994 For two given point sets, we present a very simple (almost trivial) algorithm to translate one set so that the Hausdorff distance between the two sets is not larger than a constant factor times the minimum Hausdorff distance which can be achieved in this way. The algorithm just matches the so-called Steiner points of the two sets.

A Tale of Two Bargaining Solutions
Games, 2015 We set up a rich bilateral bargaining model with four salient points (disagreement point, ideal point, reference point, and tempered aspirations point), where the disagreement point and the utility possibilities frontier are endogenously determined. This

Fingerprint Reference Point Detection
EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2004 Summary: A robust fingerprint recognition algorithm should tolerate the rotation and translation of the fingerprint image. One popular solution is to consistently detect a unique reference point and compute a unique reference orientation for translational and rotational alignment.
