Children’s Reactions to the Perpetrators and Victims of Injustices
3 experiments are reported which investigated the reactions of children in grades 1-6 to the perpetrators and victims of injustices. In the first 2 studies subjects at all age levels recommended both more punishment for an intentional perpetrator…
Citizen Participation in Public Decisions: A Comprehensive Policy-Capturing Approach
This report provides an iterative methodology for obtaining a simple quantitative model of a special interest groups preferences when the group is essentially inaccessible. The context is Social Judgment Theory. Multiple public participation…
Cognitive Information Processing Biases: Implications for Producers and Users of Financial Information
The emerging information-processing and decision-making literature indicates that individuals use heuristic procedures that simplify cognitive processing requirements. Judgments (particularly subjective probabilities) are based on limited…

Concrete Action Plans in TV Messages to Increase Reading of Drug Warnings
A field experiment was conducted to test the effect on in-store behaviors of exposure to short messages, added to brand advertisements for over-the-counter drugs, which urged that package warnings be read. The messages varied in the concreteness…

Coordination Strategies for Production and Marketing in a Functionally Decentralized Firm
This paper analyzes a mathematical model which allows marketing to choose prices and promotion strategies and allows production to choose work force levels, production rates and inventory levels in an autonomous manner. The type and manner of…
Easily Computed Inventory Policies for Periodic Review Systems: Shortage Cost and Service Level Models
This paper builds on prior work of the authors by developing a shortcut method for determining approximately optimal (s,S) inventory policies for use in a periodic review inventory system in which shortage costs are assessed. The method seems to…

This paper analyzes a model of a futures market in which both pure speculators and producers participate. Traders form rational expectations about the return on holding futures (the spot price) on the basis of diverse private information and the…
Improved Iterative Computation of the Expected Discounted Return in Markov and Semi-Markov Chains
This paper seeks to reduce the computation needed by iterative methods to find the expected discounted return in a finite semi-Markov or Markov chain. Two new norm reducing extrapolations and a new iterative method are presented and shown to be…
A Lagrangean Relaxation Algorithm for the Two Duty Period Scheduling Problem
The two duty period scheduling problem is an integer programming problem with 0-1 constraint coefficients. It is recognized that the problem can be reformulated as a one duty period problem with side constraints. Since the one duty period problem…
