This note presents an experimental study of the random lottery incentive mechanism. In the baseline treatment we observe risk behavior in a given choice problem. We show that by integrating a second, asymmetrically dominated choice problem in a random incentive mechanism risk behavior can be...

We consider a queue fed by a large number, say n, of on-off sources with generally distributed on-and off-times. The queueing resources are scaled by n: the buffer is B=nb and link rate is C=nc.The model is versatile: it allows us to model both long range dependent traffic (by using heavy-tailed...
