    Heterogeneity and the Voluntary Provision of Public Goods (1999)

    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.

    Transport processes in narrow (capillary) channels (1985)
    Hoboken, NJ : Wiley-Blackwell
    AIChE Journal 31 (1985), S. 473-482

    ISSN: 0001-1541

    Notes: Rates of mass and momentum transport in narrow flow channels (gaps 0.2-0.5 mm) have been determined over a wide range of flow velocities, 220-7,700 cm/sec (Re 1,300 to 22,000). Existing correlations that apply to smooth channels of much larger hydraulic diameter were found to be valid for the narrow channels as well. However, in the turbulent regime the condition of hydraulic smoothness could be satisfied only when the walls were optically smooth. Transport rates to rough walls were also measured. The ratio of the mass transport to the momentum transport in the form of jD/(f/2) - a measure of the improved mass transfer compared to the increased pressure drop - is given for the smooth and rough-wall cells over the Re range studied.
