    Alzheimer–associated presenilins 1 and 2 : Neuronal expression in brain and localization to intracellular membranes in mammalian cells (1996)

    Notes: [Auszug] Mutations in two recently identified genes appear to cause the majority of early–onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). These two novel genes, presenilin 1 (PS1) and presenilin 2 (PS2) are members of an evolutionarily conserved gene family. The normal biological role(s) of the presenilins ...

    A Monte Carlo Analysis of the Fisher Randomization Technique: Reviving Randomization for Experimental Economists (1998)
    Springer
    Experimental economics 1 (1998), S. 87-100 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-6938
    Keywords: Randomization test ; Monte Carlo simulation
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Data created in a controlled laboratory setting are a relatively new phenomenon to economists. Traditional data analysis methods using either parametric or nonparametric tests are not necessarily the best option available to economists analyzing laboratory data. In 1935, Fisher proposed the randomization technique as an alternative data analysis method when examining treatment effects. The observed data are used to create a test statistic. Then treatment labels are shuffled across the data and the test statistic is recalculated. The original statistic can be ranked against all possible test statistics that can be generated by these data, and a p-value can be obtained. A Monte Carlo analysis of t-test, the Mann-Whitney U-test, and the exact randomization t-test is conducted. The exact randomization t-test compares favorably to the other two tests both in terms of size and power. Given the limited distributional assumptions necessary for implementation of the exact randomization test, these results suggest that experimental economists should consider using the exact randomization test more often.

    Heterogeneity and the Voluntary Provision of Public Goods (1999)
    Springer
    Experimental economics 2 (1999), S. 5-30 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-6938
    Keywords: public goods ; voluntary provision ; heterogeneous agents

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract We investigate the effects of heterogeneity and incomplete information on aggregate contributions to a public good using the voluntary contribution mechanism. The non-linear laboratory environment has three-person groups as partners under varying conditions of information and communication. Bergstrom, Blum and Varian predict that increasing heterogeneity will have no effect on aggregate contributions in a no-communication environment. Ledyard conjectures a positive effect of incomplete information, a negative effect of heterogeneity, and a positive interaction of heterogeneity and incomplete information. We find that incomplete information has a small but significant negative effect. Heterogeneity has a positive effect on aggregate contributions, but its effects interact unexpectedly with communication. In a no-communication environment, heterogeneity in two dimensions (endowment and preferences) increases contributions substantially while heterogeneity in a single dimension (endowment or preferences) has little effect. In the communication environment we find the reverse. We also find a positive interaction between heterogeneity and incomplete information. Thus we reject the Bergstrom, Blume and Varian invariance result and provide mixed evidence on Ledyard's conjectures.
