Abstract:

<p>This thesis compares the two different version of public franchise bidding for awarding 3G licenses used in Sweden and the UK, respectively a beauty contest and an auction. The fact is that the Swedish beauty contest has failed to tackle many of the problems discussed in connection with public franchise bidding in an effective way. Sweden has first of all had problems with enforcing the ambitious coverage criteria. The UK has on the other hand succeeded in tackling the problems and raised governmental revenue of £22.5bn through the auction.</p><p>The conclusion is that this thesis confirms

Despite the huge public attention received by the male beauty contest discourse in Hong Kong as reflected in extensive local media coverage, studies on the discourse are rare.

Abstract:

This dissertation consists of three essays that adopt both theoretical and empirical methods of analysis to study certain economies in which the incomplete information and the strategic complementarities between players are important. Chapter 1 explains the topics discussed in the subsequent chapters and gives a brief survey on the literature. In Chapter 2, I revise a traditional global game model by dividing the continuum of players into a group of speculators and a group of stakeholders. It is found that the uniqueness property remains in the new game. Then I extend the static game to a

In this thesis, I propose that these publications present a compromise between Eurocentric and Afrocentric ideals but to the detriment of Black/African American women.

The goal is to pinpoint how VeckoRevyn’s question and answer columns construct relationships to their readers, and the mythologies that they maintain.

Abstract:

A l’heure où la plupart des musées investissent dans des sites Internet qui rendent souvent une grande partie de leurs collections accessibles à distance, la mission du musée en tant que lieu physique d’accès aux œuvres est remise en question. Le rapport aux publics doit être repensé : la nature de sa relation aux œuvres est transformée, et l'émergence du concept de visite augmentée introduit des dispositifs renouvelés de médiation au sein même de l’espace muséal. Cette thèse rend compte d’une expérimentation de terrain autour de Muséo+, outil de médiation de contenus muséographiques au moyen

Abstract:

Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in cust

Abstract:

博士<br>國立政治大學<br>經濟學系<br>101<br>Recent developments in behavioral experiments, in particular game experiments, have placed human cognition in a pivotal place. Two related ideas are proposed and are popularly used in the literature, namely, cognitive hierarchy and cognitive capacity. While these two often meet in the same set of experiments and observations, few studies have formally addressed their relationship. In this study, based on six series of 15- to 20-person beauty contest experiments and the associated working memory tests, we examine the effect of cognitive capacity on the observed co

The goal of the paper is to illuminate the role of higher order expectations in the asset pricing model, and thereby to explore the extent to which Keynes’s beauty contest theory is useful in thinking about asset prices. The second goal of this paper is to use the asset pricing model to examine whet

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>經濟學研究所<br>96<br>We introduce a two-person “beauty contest” game (aka guessing game) played on a two dimensional plane. Each player chooses a location and is rewarded by hitting a personal "target" based on his opponent''s location. By observing subjects'' eye movements on the graphs, we are able to observe the decision-making process. A level-k model of heterogeneous cognition can explain both the final choices and the lookup patterns during decision-making process. We fit a Markov-switching model to describe the lookup patterns, and classify subjects into various level-k types
