Social Networks and Peer Effects at Works

Beugnot, Julie; Fortin, Bernard; Lacroix, Guy; … - Groupe d'Analyse et de Théorie Économique Lyon … - 2013

This paper extends the standard work effort model by allowing workers to interact through networks. We investigate experimentally whether peer performances and peer contextual effects influence individual performances. Two types of network are considered. Participants in Recursive networks are...

The Importance of the Cognitive Environment for Intertemporal Choice

Kuhn, Michael A.; Kuhn, Peter; Villeval, Marie Claire - Groupe d'Analyse et de Théorie Économique Lyon … - 2013

We experimentally manipulate two aspects of the cognitive environment — cognitive depletion and recent sugar intake — and estimate their effects on individuals’ time preferences in a way that allows us to identify the structural parameters of a simple (α,β,δ) intertemporal utility...

Experimental investigation of temperature distribution over a planar solid oxide fuel cell

Razbani, Omid; Wærnhus, Ivar; Assadi, Mohsen - In: Applied Energy 105 (2013) C, pp. 155-160

Temperature distribution over a Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) surface is a crucial parameter for design of a SOFC stack. The selection of both materials and the operating point of a stack is heavily affected by temperature gradient. Temperature distribution can also be used for control and...

Experimental assessment of a fully predictive CFD approach, for flow of cooling air in an electric generator

Moradnia, Pirooz; Chernoray, Valery; Nilsson, Håkan - In: Applied Energy 124 (2014) C, pp. 223-230

A fully predictive computational fluid dynamics approach is assessed for the flow of cooling air in an axially cooled electric generator. The flow is driven solely by the rotation of the rotor, as in the real application. A part of the space outside the generator is included in the computational...

Experimental verification of a rolling-piston expander that applied for low-temperature Organic Rankine Cycle

Zheng, N.; Zhao, L.; Wang, X.D.; Tan, Y.T. - In: Applied Energy 112 (2013) C, pp. 1265-1274

A kilowatt-sized rolling-piston expander is proposed for low-temperature Organic Rankine Cycle power generation system. The main purpose of this paper is to conduct a dynamic test of the proposed expander. A low-temperature ORC system using R245fa as working fluid is established for the...

Xing, Ji; Liu, Zhenyi; Huang, Ping; Feng, Changgen; Zhou, Yi - In: Applied Energy 115 (2014) C, pp. 525-530

environmental damage. To assess the consequence of such accidents, a reduced-scale field experiment of CO2 release was performed … introduced to upscale the reduced-scale field experiment to full-size. To validate the scaling rules, numerical simulation was … remained identical except nearby the jet nozzle where the measured CO2 concentration from the experiment was obviously higher …

Unintended hedging in ambiguity experiments

Oechssler, Jörg; Roomets, Alex - In: Economics Letters 122 (2014) 2, pp. 243-246

We describe an ambiguity hedging problem in Ellsberg experiments, where combinations of individually ambiguous bets eliminate aggregate ambiguity, and which may yield incorrect classifications of ambiguity averse subjects. We propose a new classification consistent with this hedging possibility.
