Three Quasi-Experimental and Experimental Papers in Environmental Economics
This dissertation utilizes quasi-experimental and experimental techniques to contribute to the literature on environmental and resource economics in three distinct ways but with the overarching goal of demonstrating the usefulness of experimental techniques to explore topics related to the …

Microthruster Experimental Analysis
<p>The purpose of this study was to design an experimental apparatus that could accurately test and measure the thrust efficiency of conical shaped microthrusters with varying divergence half angles. The experimental apparatus measured the thrust of micronozzles for various feed pressures in vacuum …

An Experimental Evaluation of the Experimental Spatial Dynamics Modeling (ESDM) Technique
… structure locations. An important new technique, Experimental Spatial Dynamics Modeling (ESDM), utilizes such spatially dense velocity data. ESDM models continuous, three-dimensional velocity fields using LDV velocity data. Thus, ESDM is a powerful structural dynamics analysis tool that …

Essays in experimental macroeconomics
… Zylbersztejn, and Frank Heinemann) develops an experimental method for measuring strategic uncertainty attitudes. We compare certainty equivalents and beliefs across lotteries where the payoff depends on either the outcome of a stag-hunt game, a market-entry game, an ambiguous lottery, or a …

Experimental and observational geometry
<p>Geometry has the distinction of being one of the oldest subjects given in the high-school.</p> <p>Its subject-matter was formulated and organized by the Greeks into a fine system of thought before the time of Christ. Since leaving the hands of the Greeks, geometry has received only a few minor …

Essays in Experimental Economics
Human behavior is incredibly complex, but it drives how our society functions. Economists have recently taken greater interest in understanding the decisions that people make, rather than prescribing optimal actions to take. The first two chapters of this dissertation contribute to the field of …

Essays in Experimental Economics
This thesis has three chapters and employs experimental methods to study human behaviour. Chapter 1 presents a framed interactive online experiment conducted on Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) during the first COVID-19 lockdown. The experiment studies social distancing using a repeated game where …

Essays on Experimental Design
This thesis contains three chapters. In the first chapter, I propose new econometric methods for panel data settings with unobserved cross-sectional heterogeneity. Previous approaches model this heterogeneity by assigning each unit a one-dimensional, discrete latent type, which can be estimated by …

Experimental Design in Operations
Experimental design has been fundamental to many fields, yet applications in operations research (OR) and operations management (OM) bring in complexities, as well as opportunities, that extend beyond classical statistical goals. This thesis discusses why OR/OM should care about experimentation and …

Normativity and Experimental Philosophy
… might make of the emergent practice of experimental philosophy. Generally speaking, experimental philosophers set as their methodology the suspension of a priori reflection in favor of empirical experimentation in order to examine the cognitive factors that influence concept application …

Experimental Investigations of Strategic Interactions
… Choosers are wary of Advisors' incentives, I experimentally investigate whether Advisors send recommendations that account for this wariness, and why they may fail to do so. I find that nearly 80% of Advisors send sub-optimal recommendations, but prompting them to think about Choosers' likely …

Experimental classification of divertor detachment
… simulate detachment correctly with respect to experimental observations. This means that some understanding of this process is still missing. In the detached regime, the region of high electron density is retracted from the target and a knowledge of the electron density distribution in the …

Experimental study of thermosiphon performance
… velocities, for different angles of tilt of the experimental setup. Nominal heating and cooling rates were held constant.;The single phase thermosiphon consisted of an aluminum flow loop, fitted with a test section made of Plexiglas, that was rectangular in cross section. The entire pipe loop was …
