Existence and Indeterminacy of Markovian Equilibria in Dynamic Bargaining Games

This paper studies stationary Markov perfect equilibria in multidimensional models of dynamic bargaining, in which the alternative chosen in one period determines the status quo for the next. We generalize a sufficient condition for existence of equilibrium due to Anesi and Seidmann, 2015. We then use this existence result to show that if a weak gradient restriction holds at an alternative, then when players are sufficiently patient, there is a continuum of equilibria with absorbing sets arbitrarily close to that alternative. A sufficient condition for our gradient restriction is that the gradients of all players' utilities are linearly independent at that alternative. When the dimensionality of the set of alternatives is high, this linear independence condition holds at almost all alternatives, and equilibrium absorbing sets are dense in the set of alternatives. This implies that constructive techniques, which are common in the literature, fail to identify many plausible outcomes in dynamic bargaining games. [less ▲]

Existence of An Intrinsic Glass Transition In A Silicon Rubber: Hypersonic Versus Calorimetric Properties

Time-domain temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry and high-performance Brillouin spectroscopy have been used as experimental techniques in order to investigate the effect of the thermal glass transition on the specific heat as well as on the acoustic properties, quantities which are intimately related by thermodynamics, but measured at completely different frequencies. Using a siloxane as a model substance, we demonstrate the efficiency of hypersonic relaxations until thermal freezing of the material. Introducing the optoacoustic dispersion function as a sensitive measure for structural relaxations, we show that the high-frequency α relaxations are truncated by the thermal glass transition instead of dying out at much higher temperatures. Moreover, the extrapolated static compliance of the rubbery state goes to zero close to but below the thermal glass transition temperature Tg, indicating the existence of an acoustic instability which is reminiscent of the so-called Kauzmann paradox.

Die Exklusion von Schüler/innen mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf. Ein Beitrag zur Debatte um nationale Bildungsstandards und die Schule für alle

Aktuelle bildungspolitische Reformbemühungen zielen darauf, eine Erhöhung der schulischen Leistungen zu bewirken und messbare Kompetenzen weiter zu entwickeln. Dabei wird die Selektion von Schüler/innen mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf durch die Institution Schule und die Frage nach der Chancengleichheit eines segregierenden Schulsystems eher selten thematisiert. Statt solcher "Strukturfragen" stehen die Forderungen nach nationalen Bildungsstandards, Ganztagsschulen und der Kultushoheit der Bundesländer im Mittelpunkt der Diskussion. Die Idee einer individuellen Förderung von Schüler/innen, evtl. sogar in einer Schule für alle, wird seit PISA 2003 zunehmend Gegenstand der gesellschaftlichen Diskussion. Jedoch bleiben sonderpädagogische Förderprogramme trotz deren Spezialisierung auf solche individualisierte Unterrichtsformen, unberücksichtigt. Anhand zweier unterschiedlicher Ansätze in der Bildungsforschung - biographische Analysen und gesellschaftshistorische Vergleiche - werden die Autoren aufzeigen, dass die weitgehende Nicht-Berücksichtigung des sonderpädagogischen Bereichs in der allgemeinen Bildungsforschung die Scheiternserfahrungen von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit sonderpädagogischem Förderungsbedarf ausblendet, und die (inter)nationalen Ergebnisse von PISA, sowie die ermittelten - oder zu ermittelnden - "nationalen Bildungsstandards" verzerrt. Gerade die Situation von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf an Sonderschulen unterstreicht die Wichtigkeit der aktuellen Diskussion um eine Schule für alle. Eine solche Schulform wäre ohne diese Schüler/innen lediglich eine weitere exkludierende Schulform, denn Schulen ohne behinderte Kinder ist keine normalen Schulen. [less ▲]

Non-targeted analysis (NTA) is a rapidly evolving analytical technique with numerous opportunities to improve and expand instrumental and data analysis methods. In this work, NTA was performed on eight synthetic mixtures containing 1264 unique chemical substances from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Non-Targeted Analysis Collaborative Trial (ENTACT). These mixtures were analyzed by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) using both positive and negative polarities for a total of four modes. Out of the 1264 ENTACT chemical substances, 1116 were detected in at least one ionization mode, 185 chemicals were detected using all four ionization modes, whereas 148 were not detected. Forty-four chemicals were detected only by APCI, and 181 were detected only by ESI. Molecular descriptors and physicochemical properties were used to assess which ionization type was preferred for a given compound. One ToxPrint substructure (naphthalene group) was found to be enriched in compounds only detected using APCI, and eight ToxPrints (e.g., several alcohol moieties) were enriched in compounds only detected using ESI. Examination of physicochemical parameters for ENTACT chemicals suggests that those with higher aqueous solubility preferentially ionized by ESI−. While ESI typically detects a larger number of compounds, APCI offers chromatograms with less background, fewer co-elutions, and additional chemical space coverage, suggesting both should be considered for broader coverage in future NTA research.

Expanding spaces of participation: insights from an infrastructural project in rural Nepal

The spread of participatory development worldwide has multiplied opportunities for local population to engage in paid and unpaid development activities. However, scholars have pointed out that participatory approaches bear the risk of strengthening unequal social structures, despite their emphasis on democratisation and inclusion. This paper investigates the case of a Swiss-funded infrastructural project in rural Nepal, analysing the role of participatory spaces in the dynamics of development resource capture. The empirical material collected suggests that, although participatory development has created more opportunities for social mobility, these opportunities are not necessarily open to everyone. In the case studied, the transformational potential of participation is only partially fulfilled. [less ▲]
