Abstract

The paper reveals the use of experimental approach with respect to cooperative game theory to test the axiomatic principles and normative perspective. The researcher classifies subjects as decision-makers and recipients, whereby the former are tested to make fair payoff decisions for the latter according to their worth. The researchers highlight that subjectivity impacts decision-making regarding monetary allocations. In addition, the research study provides basis for using cooperative game solutions in the areas of social choice and distributive justice theories.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Concerns over the viability of the existing framework for determining technological spillovers vis-à-vis MNCs have grown, mainly because the predominant framework characterized by theories of production function did not provide consistent findings on the link between spillover occurrence and FDIs.

Gachino emphasized that such inconsistencies arise from varying methodologies as well as specificities in firms, industries and nations.

The study by Gachino is in tune with the current context describing the lack of consistency in findings on the spillover occurrence-FDI connection using the predominant framework on theories of production function.
The spillover literature takes into account variables related to variations in time, types of industries, and those related to space and location, and endogenous technological changes. Continue reading...

Our senses provide us with raw data from the external world. The raw data that is fed by the sensory organs to our brain is devoid of form and meaning. It is our faculty of perception that attaches meaning to that data and allows us to process it. Without perception we will only have neurons firing in our brain and we will be clueless as to what we see, hear, taste and feel. We will see a random structure in front of us with the help of our senses and it is our perception that tells us that this Continue reading...

Abstract

Cooperative game theory is essentially diverse from the forms of games studied, which are referred to as non-cooperative games. In non-cooperative games, activities are engaged by distinct players, and the consequence of the game is designated by the act taken by every player, together with the graft that every player attains. In distinction, cooperative games reflect the set of mutual activities that any cluster of players can endorse. The result of a cooperative game is normally quantified by which cluster of players forms, besides the joint act that the cluster takes. These clusters of players are essentially referred as Continue reading...

Section 1: Catalysis

Introduction
Catalysis is a process by which chemical reactions are hastened by small amounts of external substances, called catalysts. A suitable catalyst can alter the rate of a thermodynamically attainable reaction, but cannot disturb the position of thermodynamic equilibrium. Most catalysts are solids or fluids, however they may likewise be gasses. Catalysis is a cyclic process. The reactants form a chemical complex with the catalyst, subsequently opening a pathway for their conversion into the respective products, following which the catalyst is released and allows the cycle to continue. Now, catalysts do not have infinite lifetimes. As a result of Continue reading...

Is short term memory retention affected with interruptions?

Introduction
Our memory consists of the ability to encode information perceived through our senses, which is later stored in our brain and can be recalled whenever we may need it (Piccard, Berthoz, Baulac, Denos, Dupont, Samson and Guariglia, 2010). Information can be the smell of a fruit, the name of a person we just met or how soft that sweater was that you saw in a store. Memory is what we know, and if we forget something as simple as what we were doing one minute ago, then how can we go on about our day? Is it likely Continue reading...

The issue of trust is Australian media has a lot of variation, although most Australians trust their media. The biggest role for which Australians trust their media is holding the government to account. 60% of the Australians believe that the media plays its role of holding the government to account in an effective manner (Keane, 2013a).
