Session 3-2-B: Paspa: An Unconstitutional Patent, Kevin P. Braig
International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking
The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (“PASPA”) is a patent monopoly because the statute (A) imitates the Crown’s practice of allocating markets by patent; (B) functions like a patent issued under the United States Patent Code; and (C) imposes monopoly-like costs upon the public. The Constitution’s Patent Clause is a brilliant public financing scheme and unique in that it is the only grant of power to Congress in the Constitution that begins with a specific prescription of proper legislative purpose. Congress cannot grant just any person a patent monopoly for any purpose. Rather, Congress can grant a patent monopoly …

Baccara chemin de fer — review of main contributions
Baccara was first mentioned in print by Van Tenac in 1847.
It was analyzed by Dormoy in 1872 and Bertrand in 1889.
Borel called Bertrand’s study “extremely incomplete,” but it motivated Borel to develop game theory in the 1920s.
Von Neumann planned to study baccara after proving the minimax theorem in 1928, but he didn’t.
The first game-theoretic solution was by Kemeny and Snell in 1957.
In 1964, Foster gave a solution based on a new algorithm, unaware of the Kemeny–Snell solution.
A solution under more realistic assumptions was found by …

Session 3-1-E: Modeling Change In The Profile Of The Atlantic City Visitor, Brian J. Tyrrell, Israel Posner Ph.D.
International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking
The Atlantic City casino market has faced increasing competition over the past decade, particularly since the introduction of Pennsylvania gaming in 2006. In response to this increased competition, the State of New Jersey, through legislation, created a public private partnership to both redevelop parts of the city and devote significant marketing dollars into shaping the image of the city. The private side of that partnership, the Atlantic City Alliance (ACA), found in their earliest consumer research that Atlantic City’s image as a gaming destination was well established, but that the city was less known for the retail, entertainment and restaurants …

Introduction
Money laundering is the process by which criminals attempt to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, ownership or control of their ill-gotten gains, so as to make it possible to invest or consume the proceeds of crime (Masciandaro1999)
Money laundering (Unger, 2007):
- distorts prices, consumption, saving and investment rates;
- increases the volatility of import/export levels, the demand for money, interest and exchange rates, as well as the availability of credit;
- threatens the solvability and liquidity, as well as the reputation and profitability of the financial sector;
- Endangers the continuance of foreign direct investment (FDI)
- Acts as a multiplier …

What Impacts Do Different Forms Of Customer Involvement Have On The Development Of Services? The Identification Of Team- And Customer-Related Factors, 2013 Southern Cross University
What Impacts Do Different Forms Of Customer Involvement Have On The Development Of Services? The Identification Of Team- And Customer-Related Factors, Jakob Trischler, Don Scott, Stephen Kelly
Jakob Trischler
In service design and innovation research active customer involvement has been suggested as a critical factor for developing successful services. Hence, the approach to service design and innovation has been argued to be necessarily open, cross-disciplinary and collaborative rather than closed R&D processes. Drawing upon extensive team research literature, however, it seems that the effective development of a service is affected by a number of factors and cannot be reduced to the composition of teams only. Additional impacting factors have been found to be task design and interdependence, internal team processes including bonding, conflicts and communication, and numerous external players …
Service Design As Collaborative Activity: What Is The Role Of The Customer?, 2013 Southern Cross University
Service Design As Collaborative Activity: What Is The Role Of The Customer?, Jakob Trischler, Simon Wilde
Jakob Trischler
Drawing upon developments in design, marketing theory and the service literature, service design reordered its perspective towards a human-centered and collaborative approach rather than explicit R&D activities. It is suggested that this change of approach not only attributes the developments in design theory towards a human-centered standpoint but particularly from relationship marketing, and the related service literature which declared the customer as an interactive and mutual value-creator within the service system. Building on the assumption that the customer becomes an active participant during the value co-creation process, we propose service design as a co-design platform with customers rather than a …

The Concept Of On-Going Interactions In Co-Design: Insights From Three Different Disciplines, Jakob Trischler, Elisabeth Sinnewe
Jakob Trischler
Co-design with the customer is identified as an effective opportunity for service design and service innovation. By reviewing the different streams of marketing, design and service innovation with emphasis on user involvement, this paper proposes a multi-disciplinary framework for mutual learning and co-design. It is suggested that the firm can use on-going interactions with customers during the value generating process to create a space for mutual learning and co-design in which the customer becomes an integrated part of the innovation and design process not only as an informant but also as a co-designer.
An Analysis Of Extreme Price Shocks And Illiquidity Among Systematic Trend Followers, 2013 Singapore Management University
An Analysis Of Extreme Price Shocks And Illiquidity Among Systematic Trend Followers, Bernard Lee, Shih-Fen Cheng, Annie Koh
Shih-Fen Cheng
We construct an agent-based model to study the interplay between extreme price shocks and illiquidity in the presence of systematic traders known as trend followers. The agent-based approach is particularly attractive in modeling commodity markets because the approach allows for the explicit modeling of production, capacities, and storage constraints. Our study begins by using the price stream from a market simulation involving human participants and studies the behavior of various trend-following strategies, assuming initially that their participation will not impact the market. We notice an incremental deterioration in strategy performance as and when strategies deviate further and further from the …
