We commonly think of information as an instrument for better decisions, yet evidence suggests that people often decline free information in non-strategic scenarios. This paper provides a theory for how a dynamically-consistent decision maker can be averse to partial information as a consequence...

This paper investigates whether imperfect foresight affects intertemporal choice using three experiments. We study the effects of both exogenously introduced and naturally occurring (i.e., summer vacation) forecasting difficulties, as well as the effects of increasing internal forecasting...

An existing cellular automaton evacuation model is modified to simulate an evacuation experiment conducted in a classroom with obstacles. In the modified model, the impact of the occupant density around exits on human behavior in evacuation is considered. The simulation and experimental results...

Frosting is frequently seen in nature and engineering fields. To avoid the drawbacks and take advantage of frost, analyzing the frost characteristics is meaningful. Frosting experiments on an inverted cold plate at surface temperatures of -30 ~ -10 °C under natural convection are carried out....
