The silver linings of lottery play: motivation and subjective well-being of British lottery participants

Although certain researchers have attributed widespread lottery play to irrational beliefs that people hold regarding the chances of winning the lottery, another explanation for the popularity of lottery gambling is that lottery players may experience positive emotions before the draw. Therefore, in this study, we examine the relationship between lottery participation and happiness. Using data from the British Gambling Prevalence Survey 2010 and utilizing propensity score matching methods, we find a small positive effect of lottery participation on happiness for individuals who engage in lottery play for recreational purposes.     

试论模拟角色法在《外贸单证》课程中的应用

模拟角色法是案例教学法的一种，它是通过角色扮演，身临其境的感受实践操作活动，获取知识与技能的教学方法。由于《外贸单证》课程具有较强的实践性与操作性，实际教学中因为实习基地、教学设备等条件限制，不能达到更好的教学效果。本文根据外贸单证课程的特点、教学目标及目前教学中存在的问题，探讨了模拟角色教学法如何运用于外贸单证课程。这一方法不仅强化了学生的参与意识与主角地位，而且提高了学生在实际工作中发现问题、分析问题和解决问题的能力。

零供关系研究最新发现

本文通过对24家国际著名的零售商、供应商以及国内两家大型零售商的财务数据的比较分析发现,供应商的赢利水平远高于零售商,我国大型零售商向供应商收费约占其综合收益的35%~50%,零售商占用消费者资金,银行占压零售商资金。本文认为：零供矛盾在领导批示与媒体渲染的过程中被人为放大,各方都存在过激反应;在判断偏离事实的情况下,制定政策法规的流程趋于官僚;在法规严重失效的情况下提高管制级别,不仅会增大管理成本,而且也不一定能产生更好的效果,零供关系立法需谨慎对待。

Fictitious play in ‘one-against-all’ multi-player games

Summary. A compound game is an (n + 1) player game based on n two-person subgames. In each of these subgames player 0 plays against one of the other players. Player 0 is regulated, so that he must choose the same strategy in all n subgames. We show that every fictitious play process approaches the set of equilibria in compound games for which all subgames are either zero-sum games, potential games, or games.
