The Online Laboratory : Conducting Experiments in a Real Labor Market
Horton, John J. - 2015
Online labor markets have great potential as platforms for conducting experiments, as they provide immediate access to a large and diverse subject pool and allow researchers to conduct randomized controlled trials. We argue that online experiments can be just as valid - both internally and...

Solving Dynamic Programming Problems on a Computational Grid
Cai, Yongyang - 2013
We implement a dynamic programming algorithm on a computational grid consisting of loosely coupled processors, possibly including clusters and individual workstations. The grid changes dynamically during the computation, as processors enter and leave the pool of workstations. The algorithm is...

Computing Stochastic Dynamic Economic Models with a Large Number of State Variables : A Description and Application of a Smolyak-Collocation Method
Malin, Ben - 2007
We describe a sparse grid collocation algorithm to compute recursive solutions of dynamic economies with a sizable number of state variables. We show how powerful this method may be in applications by computing the nonlinear recursive solution of an international real business cycle model with a...

Propose with a Rose? Signaling in Internet Dating Markets
Lee, Soohyung - 2011
The large literature on costly signaling and the somewhat scant literature on preference signaling had varying success in showing the effectiveness of signals. We use a field experiment to show that even when everyone can send a signal, signals are free and the only costs are opportunity costs,...

Net Neutrality : A Fast Lane to Understanding the Trade-Offs
Greenstein, Shane M. - 2016
The “net neutrality” principle has triggered a heated debate and advocates have proposed policy interventions. In this paper, we provide perspective by framing issues in terms of the positive economic factors at work. We stress the incentives of market participants, and highlight the...
