Behavioral Mechanism Design

2012-10-01
This paper studies the mechanism design problem for the class of Bayesian environments where agents do care for the well-being of others. For these environments, we fully characterize interim efficient (IE) mechanisms and examine their properties. This set of mechanisms is compelling, since IE mechanisms are the best in the sense that there is no other mechanism which generates unanimous improvement. For public good environments, we show that these mechanisms produce public goods closer to the efficient level of production as the degree of altruism in the preferences increases. For private good environments, we show that altruistic agents trade more often than selfish agents.

Effects of Combined Peer-Teacher Feedback on Second Language Writing Development
Demirel, Elif; Enginarlar, Hüsnü (2016-10-01)
This study attempts to test the effectiveness of a feedback model which combines teacher and peer feedback systematically on improving students' writing ability in the context of a multiple draft writing course. 57 Turkish EFL students participated in the study which lasted for a 15-week semester. The experimental and control groups were provided different feedback treatments and then statistically compared in terms of the revisions they made in their essay drafts and their writing improvement. A total of 1...
Collective gradient perception with a flying robot swarm
Karaguzel, Tugay Alperen; Turgut, Ali Emre; Eiben, A. E.; Ferrante, Eliseo (2022-10-01)
In this paper, we study the problem of collective and emergent sensing with a flying robot swarm in which social interactions among individuals lead to following the gradient of a scalar field in the environment without the need of any gradient sensing capability. We proposed two methods-desired distance modulation and speed modulation-with and without alignment control. In the former, individuals modulate their desired distance to their neighbors and in the latter, they modulate their speed depending on th...
Teacher feedback and student feedback on writing tasks: A comparative study
Kırsaç, Elif; Yılmazel, Gizem (2021-01-01)
This research aims to investigate if peer feedback is any different from teacher feedback. The study was conducted in a non-profit foundation university with 40 A1 level preparatory school students. Students were given a writing task and afterward, they were asked to give feedback on their peers’ papers by using error codes provided by the teacher. At the same time, teachers gave feedback to the same papers by using the same error correction codes. Data were collected by means of a writing task which was su...
Design of a blended learning environment: Considerations and implementation issues
GEDİK, NURAY; Kiraz, Ercan; Özden, Muhammet Yaşar (2013-01-01)
This study identified critical issues in the design of a blended learning environment by examining basic design considerations and implementation issues. Following a design-based research approach with the phenomenological tradition of qualitative research, the study investigated instructor experiences relating to the design, development, and implementation processes of a blended course. The results reveal that the design considerations centred on the pedagogical approach, course organization, materials pre...
A Practitioner's Guide for Static Index Pruning
Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, Oezguer (2009-01-01)
We compared the term- and document-centric static index pruning approaches as described in the literature and investigate their sensitivity to the scoring functions employed during the pruning and actual retrieval stages.
