We use data on response times from a public goods experiment to test the hypothesis that cooperation is instinctive, under the assumption that the longer the time of the decision, the less instinctive the choice. Results seem to support the hypothesis that cooperation is instinctive, while...

The Weibull distribution is proposed as a model for response times. Theoretical support is offered by classical results for extreme-value distributions. Fits of the Weibull distribution to response time data in different contexts show that this distribution (and the exponential distribution on...

Many supply chains strive to shorten the time between a customer's order and the actual delivery of the ordered goods, i.e. the response time. However, a shorter response time may induce a higher volatility in goods flows. We present practical methods to determine layouts for the material...

Chapter 1 is concerned with confidence interval construction for the mean of a long-range dependent time series. It is well known that the moving block bootstrap method produces an inconsistent estimator of thedistribution of the normalized sample mean when its limiting distribution is not...

We examine in a large survey (n = 1,928) how contemplative entrepreneurs, managers and employees are in their decision making styles. Besides two well-known subjective measures taken from psychology, we also build on Rubinstein (2016) by including two objective measures derived from response...
