Hypothesis. Conditional on preferring the outcome from lying over the outcome from truth-telling‚ a person is sensitive to neither her own [monetary] gain from lying‚ nor how much [monetary] harm she causes the other side. Notice that aside from the preface of “preferring the outcome from lying”‚ the rest of the Hypothesis seems quite at odds with Gneezy’s Result. The reconciliation is that a significant fraction of Gneezy’s subjects prefer the outcome from lying to truth-telling in some experimental

Abstract The purpose of this research paper is to prove or disprove the hypothesis of the less gun control we have will result in a decrease in murder rates. After analyzing the findings‚ the majority of the articles advocated that the correlation between gun control and murder rates is that the less gun control equals less murder rates. This is due to the fact that countries in the past have tried banning handguns but ended up with higher murder rates. An even more gun control ended up increasing

Stock Market Prices Do Not Follow Random Walks: Evidence from a Simple Specification Test Andrew W. Lo A. Craig MacKinlay University of Pennsylvania In this article we test the random walk hypothesis for weekly stock market returns by comparing variance estimators derived from data sampled at different frequencies. The random walk model is strongly rejected for the entire sample period (19621985) and for all subperiod for a variety of aggregate returns indexes and size-sorted portofolios. Although

My hypothesis was that the gummy bears would get bigger in all the solutions‚ they would get bigger in the forms of length‚ width‚ and height. The second hypothesis was that I didn’t think they will change colors‚ and I didn’t think that the texture would change. To begin this experiment‚ I purchased one bag of gummies

Through this experiment‚ Egeria densa was observed using a microscope. The task was to observe and identify the different types of cell‚ cytoplasmic streaming‚ and plasmolysis of Egeria densa. First‚ the microscope was examined and investigated to master the use of the equipment. A microscope slide grid which was on the slide glass was required to be seen clearly using 4x‚ 10x and 30x. During the latter part of the experiment‚ the Egeria densa was observed using the microscope to understand the
