Outcome bias is pervasive and persistent across different environments. In our noisy gift-exchange game, where agents can perform a real effort task to improve principals' lottery win probability, we replicate outcome bias in effort rewarding when effort is only numerically observable. To...

This paper explores the racial differences in politicians’ persistence in elections. Empirical data from California city council elections and a close election regression dis- continuity design (CERDD) suggest that losing an election causes 70% attrition in rerunning for office. After a loss,...

Hot workability of a forged beta gamma Ti-44Al-6Nb-1Mo-0.3 (B, Y, La, Ce) alloy was studied on a Gleeble-3800 thermal simulation machine under variable conditions. The flow stress and microstructural evolution were analyzed carefully after deformed at variable strain and holding time. All true...

Porous CoAl 3 intermetallic is a candidate material in the field of catalytic and filtration due to its high porosity, good thermostability and quasicrystal structure. However, its rapid and reliable preparation are still a challenge, and the high-temperature antioxidant mechanism need to be...
