Two Equilibria

The study develops a vertically differentiated duopoly model in the presence of commercial piracy with two groups of consumers, a business group and a home group, with the former having higher willingness to pay for the product. A firm producing an original information good sells it with endogenously chosen product quality and acts as a price leader, and the commercial pirate becomes the price follower. There exists a stringent government policy of monitoring commercial piracy, which increases the marginal cost of the pirate. We study and compare the two regimes of no-versioning (selling a single quality product) and product versioning (selling products with different price and quality combinations to different consumer groups). In the versioning regime, depending upon demand and government monitoring parameters, two equilibria are observed. Comparing the original firm?s profit in each of these versioning cases suggests that versioning may or may not be the original firm?s optimal strategy in the presence of commercial piracy. This result is counterintuitive to existing literature on product versioning in the context of enduser piracy.

Splitting Effect

The splitting effect that is observed in microdiffraction pat-terns of small metallic particles in the size range 50-500 Å can be understood using the dynamical theory of electron diffraction for the case of a crystal containing a finite wedge. For the experimental data we refer to part I of this work in these proceedings.

Parallel Case

Patients who have undergone several sessions of chemotherapy for cancer will sometimes develop anticipatory nausea and vomiting (ANV), these unpleasant side effects occurring as the patients return to the clinic for a further session of treatment. Pavlov's analysis of learning allows that previously neutral cues, such as those that characterize a given place or context, can become associated with events that occur in that context. ANV could thus constitute an example of a conditioned response elicited by the contextual cues of the clinic. In order to investigate this proposal we have begun an experimental analysis of a parallel case in which laboratory rats are given a nausea-inducing treatment in a novel context. We have developed a robust procedure for assessing the acquisition of context aversion in rats given such training, a procedure that shows promise as a possible animal model of ANV. Theoretical analysis of the conditioning processes involved in the formation of context aversions in animals suggests possible behavioral strategies that might be used in the alleviation of ANV, and we report a preliminary experimental test of one of these.
