Asymmetric Information in Common-Value Auctions and Contests: Theory and Experiments
(2011-10-21)
In common-value auctions and contests economic agents often have
varying levels of information regarding the value of the good to be allocated.
Using theoretical and experimental analysis, I examine the effect of ...
Comparing Model-based and Design-based Structural Equation Modeling Approaches in Analyzing Complex Survey Data
(2011-10-21)
Conventional statistical methods assuming data sampled under simple random sampling are inadequate for use on complex survey data with a multilevel structure and non-independent observations. In structural equation modeling ...
Essays On Hybrid Bundle Pricing
(2011-10-21)
Increasingly, firms are offering hybrid bundles — products that combine both good(s) and service(s). Some hybrid bundles, such as TiVo that combines a DVR and recording management are more visible, while some, such as GE‘s ...
Anaerobic Co-digestion of Chicken Processing Wastewater and Crude Glycerol from Biodiesel
(2011-10-21)
The main objective of this thesis was to study the anaerobic digestion (AD) of wastewater from a chicken processing facility and of crude glycerol from local biodiesel operations. The AD of these substrates was conducted ...

Effects of Carbon Nanotube Coating on Bubble Departure Diameter and Frequency in Pool Boiling on a Flat, Horizontal Heater
(2011-08-08)
The effects of a carbon nanotube (CNT) coating on bubble departure diameter and frequency in pool boiling experiments was investigated and compared to those on a bare silicon wafer. The pool boiling experiments were performed ...
Constrained capacity of MIMO Rayleigh fading channels
(2011-08-08)
In this thesis channel capacity of a special type of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Rayleigh fading channels is studied, where the transmitters are subject to a
finite phase-shift keying (PSK) input alphabet. The ...
