Quasi-chemical approximation for polyatomic mixtures

open access: yes, 2016
The statistical thermodynamics of binary mixtures of polyatomic species was developed on a generalization in the spirit of the lattice-gas model and the quasi-chemical approximation (QCA).

Expressed Preferences and Behavior in Experimental Games [PDF]

open access: yes
It is traditional in experimental games to allow participants to choose only actions or possibly communicate intended play. In sequential two-person games, we require first movers to express a preference between responder choices.

In search of a preferred preference elicitation method: A test of the internal consistency of choice and matching tasks [PDF]

open access: yes
The numerous reports on preference reversals in preference elicitations pose a great challenge to empirical economics. Many studies have found that different procedures may generate substantially different preferences.

Changing time and emotions [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we consider that our experience of time (to come) depends on the emotions we feel when we imagine future pleasant or unpleasant events.

Individual Utility in a Context of Asymetric Sensitivity to Pleasure and Pain: An Interpretation of Bentham's Felicific Calculus [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper aims at exploring, in a formal way, Bentham's statement that “the pleasure of gaining is not equal to the evil of losing”, which belongs to those aspects of the principle of utility left aside by Jevon's reconstruction. Consequently, the agent'

Stronger Utility [PDF]

open access: yes
Empirical research often requires a method how to convert a deterministic economic theory into an econometric model. A popular method is to add a random error term on the utility scale. This method, however, violates stochastic dominance.

A new preference reversal in health utility measurement [PDF]

open access: yes
A central assumption in health utility measurement is that preferences are invariant to the elicitation method that is used. This assumptioin is challenged by preferences reversals.

Explaining heterogeneity in utility functions by individual differences in preferred decision modes [PDF]

open access: yes
The curvature of utility functions varies between people. We suggest that there exists a relationship between the mode in which a person usually makes a decision and the curvature of the individual utility function.
