The results showed that laboratory studies are more efficient than preference tests or field studies for comparing PALs with a similar design philosophy.
In contrast to the case of single-unit demand, no stable mechanism, not even the (student-proposing) deferred acceptance algorithm, achieves desirable properties: it is not strategy-proof and the resulting allocation is not even weakly efficient under submitted preferences.
Consumer preference for efficient modes of communication, such as chat and email, have reduced the industry's dependence on labor-intensive phone contact centers, which also decreases customer service costs.
All the compounds exhibited efficient antitumor activities with preference to be against the tumor cell line 7721 rather than the tumor cell line MCF-7.
For computational reasons, we recommend using the generalized Fisher information matrix as a basis for determining efficient designs for stated preference studies.
Moreover, we argue that Serially Dictatorial Rules have an advantage over the market based approach in that they yield strongly efficient solutions for all preference profiles, making it possible to use randomization to restore equity.
The analysis shows that higher levels of water application were risk efficient at neutral and risk preference level and preference for water applications fell at somewhat higher risk aversion levels.
We show that in an economy where individuals have complete, transitive, continuous and monotonic preferences, every efficient allocation is incentive compatible if and only if individuals have maximin preferences.
On the other hand, voting for inequality-reducing redistribution may be more common when the trade-off between efficiency and equality is less pronounced than in our design because preferences for efficient outcomes seem to be common (e.g. Charness and Rabin, 2002).
We then generalize the powerful search strategies from decision-based DTP literature to accomplish the efficient optimization of temporal preferences.
