We introduce a test for whether agents' preferences over network structure are interdependent. Interdependent preferences induce strategic behavior since the optimal set of links directed by agent i will vary with the configuration of links directed by other agents. Our model also incorporates...

Supersonic Ejector (SE) is a thermally-driven fluidic compressor that replaces the electro-mechanical compressor in Reverse-Rankine refrigeration/heat pump cycles. These widely used thermal cycles account for billions of kWh of electric energy and produce hundreds of millions of metric tons of...

In empirical research, measuring correctly the benefits of welfare interventions is incredibly relevant for policymakers as well as academic researchers. Unfortunately, the endogenous program participation is often misreported in survey data and standard instrumental variable techniques are not...

Die Messungen von dichotomen Individualeigenschaften können fehlerbehaftet sein. Diese Messfehler sind in der Regel nicht erkennbar und können somit nicht korrigiert werden. Damit besteht die Möglichkeit, dass Messfehler der Individualebene Aggregate wie Häufigkeiten und Anteilswerte...
