We use machine learning to uncover regularities in the initial play of matrix games. We first train a prediction algorithm on data from past experiments. Examining the games where our algorithm predicts correctly, but existing economic models don't, leads us to add a parameter to the best...

boundedly rational consumers or the reactions of firms to such behavior. Second and more fundamental is the efficiency challenge …, which surfaces where consumer bias weakens the causal link between competition and efficiency. For instance, consumers who … standard economic justification for antitrust law largely weathers the thorny efficiency and welfare challenges alike …

In this paper we take an in-depth view of one particular type of inefficiency that may be present in the combination of forecasts: Mincer and Zarnowitz (MZ) inefficiency. Under mild assumptions we show that weighted combinations of forecasts are MZ-inefficient with probability one. We also show...

An extended aeration sewage treatment plant on an island camp in Georgian Bay performed fair to well for BOD, TSS and TP removal, but was unable to nitrify ammonium to compliance levels for surface discharge. The raw sewage is from residential and kitchen sources, but is often high strength...
