  • The Maaloop Framework

    Open AccessGreg Drummond, Matthew B Thompson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contingencies and…2025References: 41

    Emergency management operations are a complex system involving multiagency hierarchical command structures requiring coordination of significant volumes of information, resourcing and effort across expansive disaster zones within restricted timeframes and with potentially catastrophic consequences. Within these environments establishing a timely and shared understanding among different levels of command and across agencies is crucial yet remains …

  • Strategic Complexity and the Value of Thinking

    Open AccessDavid Gill, Victoria Prowse et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2023Cited by: 1References: 63

    We leverage response-time data from repeated strategic interactions to measure the strategic complexity of a situation by how long people think on average when they face that situation (where we categorise situations according to characteristics of play in the previous round). We find that strategic complexity varies significantly across situations, and we find considerable heterogeneity in how responsive subjects’ thinking times are to complexit…

  • Architecture and agency for equity in areas beyond national jurisdiction

    Open AccessLisa M Campbell, Robin Fail et al.ARTICLEEarth System Governance2022Cited by: 4References: 17

    The United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (Ocean Decade) bring increased attention to various aspects of ocean governance, including equity. One of the Ocean Decade's identified challenges is to develop a sustainable and equitable ocean economy, but questions arise about how to conceptualize the multiple dimensions of equity in an ocean context. These questions beco…

  • Cognitive Skills, Strategic Sophistication, and Life Outcomes

    Eduardo Fé, David Gill et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2022Cited by: 4References: 9

    We investigate how childhood cognitive skills affect strategic sophistication and adult outcomes, and we emphasize the importance of childhood theory of mind. Experimental data show that (i) theory-of-mind ability and cognitive ability both predict level k behavior, (ii) older children respond to information about the cognitive ability of their opponent, and (iii) theory of mind (but not cognitive ability) predicts whether children respond to int…

  • Marine protected and conserved areas in the time of Covid

    Open AccessCarol Phua, Dominic A Andradi‐Brown et al.ARTICLEPARKS2021

    The intersection of potential global targets and commitments for ocean conservation with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has resulted in an opportunity to rethink the future of marine area-based conservation tools, particularly for marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs). As MPCAs continue to provide essential ecological, social and economic services, current approaches to establishing and managing these areas require an understanding of the f…

  • Using Goals to Motivate College Students

    DAMON CLARK, David Gill et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2020

    Will college students who set goals work harder and perform better? We report two field experiments that involved four thousand college students. One experiment asked treated students to set goals for performance in the course; the other asked treated students to set goals for a particular task (completing online practice exams). Task-based goals had robust positive effects on the level of task completion and marginally significant positive effec…

  • Cognitive Ability, Character Skills, and Learning to Play Equilibrium

    David Gill, Victoria Prowse et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2016Cited by: 16References: 3

    We investigate how cognitive ability and character skills influence the evolution of play toward Nash equilibrium in repeated strategic interactions. We find that more cognitively able subjects choose numbers closer to equilibrium, earn more, and converge more frequently to equilibrium play. We estimate a structural model of learning based on level k reasoning and find a positive relationship between cognitive ability and levels. Furthermore, the…

  • Competition in Posted Prices with Stochastic Discounts

    Open AccessDavid Gill, John ThanassoulisARTICLEThe Economic Journal2016Cited by: 1References: 45

    We study price competition between firms over public list or posted prices when a fraction of consumers can subsequently receive discounts with some probability. Such stochastic discounts are a feature of markets in which some consumers bargain explicitly and of markets in which sellers use the marketing practice of couponing. Even though bargainers receive reductions off the posted prices, the potential to discount dampens competitive pressure i…

  • A Structural Analysis of Disappointment Aversion in a Real Effort Competition

    David Gill, Victoria Prowse et al.ARTICLEAmerican Economic Review2012

    We develop a novel computerized real effort task, based on moving sliders across a screen, to test experimentally whether agents are disappointment averse when they compete in a real effort sequential-move tournament. We predict that a disappointment averse agent, who is loss averse around her endogenous choice-acclimating expectations-based reference point, responds negatively to her rival's effort. We find significant evidence for this discoura…

  • From Malibu to Rome

    David W J Gill, David Gill et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Cultural…2007Cited by: 16References: 16

    During 2006 three major North American Museums, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, agreed to return a significant number of antiquities to Italy. Acquisition information relating to the return of 26 items to Italy and 4 to Greece from the Getty can be added to the details known from the objects returned from Boston. A more detailed picture is emerging of how antiq…

  • From Boston to Rome

    David W J Gill, David Gill et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Cultural…2006Cited by: 16References: 8

    The return of 13 classical antiquities from Boston's Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) to Italy provides a glimpse into a major museum's acquisition patterns from 1971 to 1999. Evidence emerging during the trial of Marion True and Robert E. Hecht Jr. in Rome is allowing the Italian authorities to identify antiquities that have been removed from their archaeological contexts by illicit digging. Key dealers and galleries are identified, and with them other…

    A fragmentary Egyptian Middle Kingdom statuette was found in the north-west area of Central Court at Knossos in 1900. The three hieroglyphic texts show that the statue was mortuary in character, and that it was linked to a gold-caster called User of the Wadjet nome in Egypt. The User statuette is part of a wider distribution of Middle Kingdom statues from Nubia, Anatolia, and the Levant which have been found in funerary and nonfunerary contexts. …

    The British parliamentary report on Cultural Property: Return and Illicit Trade was published in 2000. Three key areas were addressed: the illicit excavation and looting of antiquities, the identification of works of art looted by Nazis, and the return of cultural property now residing in British collections. The evidence presented by interested parties-including law enforcement agencies and dealers in antiquities-to the Culture, Media and Sport …

  • Laconian lead figurines

    Open AccessDavid W J Gill, David Gill et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…2001Cited by: 3References: 4

    More than 100,000 lead figurines are reported to have been found in the sanctuary of Artemis Orthia at Sparta. It has been suggested that these mass-produced votives were obtained from locally mined lead. Lead votives in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, were selected as representative of each ‘layer’ from the British excavations of the early twentieth century. Lead isotope analysis of the votives was conducted in the Oxford Laboratory for Archaeolog…
