Reading List. Motivation and statistical Analysis.
The first lecture I ever attended on Statistics was prefaced with a funny story relating the title of this blog.

The Small-World Phenomenon:
An Algorithmic Perspective
Jon Kleinberg
y
Abstract
Long a matter of folklore, the \small-world phenomenon” | the principle that
we are all linked by short chains of acquaintances | was inaugurated as an area
of experimental study in the social sciences through the pioneering work of Stanley
Milgram in the 1960’s. This work was among the rst to make the phenomenon
quantitative, allowing people to speak of the \six degrees of separation” between any
two people in the United States. Since then, a number of network models have been
proposed as frameworks in which to study the problem analytically. One of the most
re ned of these models was formulated in recent work of Watts and Strogatz; their
framework provided compelling evidence that the small-world phenomenon is pervasive
in a range of networks arising in nature and technology, and a fundamental ingredient
in the evolution of the World Wide Web.
But existing models are insu cient to explain the striking algorithmic component
of Milgram’s original ndings: that individuals using local information are collectively
very e ective at actually constructing short paths between two points in a social net-
work. Although recently proposed network models are rich in short paths, we prove
that no decentralized algorithm, operating with local information only, can construct
short paths in these networks with non-negligible probability. We then de ne an in –
nite family of network models that naturally generalizes the Watts-Strogatz model, and
show that for one of these models, there is a decentralized algorithm capable of nding
short paths with high probability. More generally, we provide a strong characterization
of this family of network models, showing that there is in fact a unique model within
the family for which decentralized algorithms are e ective.

Abstract
In this paper, we present an economic model of moral motivation. Consumers prefer
regarding themselves as socially responsible individuals. Voluntary contributions to public
goods are motivated by this preference. The self-image as socially responsible is determined
by a comparison of one’s actual behavior against an endogenous morally ideal behavior.
Public policy influences voluntary contributions through its effects on relative prices and
budget or time constraints, but also indirectly through the policy’s effect on the morally
ideal contribution. This implies that economic incentives may have adverse effects on
contributions. We present survey data on recycling behavior and voluntary community
work, which is consistent with the model predictions.

What is Virtue Epistemology?
Heather Battal
Syracuse University
ABSTRACT: This paper functions as a brief introduction to virtue epistemology, a topic that has enjoyed a recent gain in popularity among analytic philosophers. Here I maintain that the defining feature of virtue epistemology is its focus on the intellectual virtues and vices rather than the evaluation of belief. What constitutes such a focus? And, what are the intellectual virtues? In the first section, I enumerate five different ways in which virtue epistemologists might focus on the virtues. In the second, I discuss four topics pertaining to the nature of the intellectual virtues themselves: (1) are the virtues natural or acquired?; (2) are they skills?; (3) are they instrumentally, constitutively, or intrinsically valuable?; and (4) what relation do they bear to truth? Throughout the paper, I identify which virtue epistemologists are partial to which views, and in this manner, catalog much of the recent debate. In conclusion, I suggest some topics for future study.
I have no answer to these arguments, but am finally compelled to admit that there is not one of my former beliefs about which a doubt may not properly be raised; and this is not a flippant or ill-considered conclusion, but is based on powerful and well thought-out reasons. So in future I must withhold my assent from these former beliefs just as carefully as I would from obvious falsehoods, if I want to discover any certainty. — Rene Descartes (1)

A Simple Tool for Qualitatively Testing, Quantitatively

Abstract
This paper introduces a new preference condition that can be used to justify (or criticize) expected utility. The
approach taken in this paper is an alternative to Savage’s, and is accessible to readers without a mathematical
background. It is based on a method for deriving “comparisons of tradeoffs” from ordinal preferences. Our
condition simplifies previously-published tradeoff conditions, and at the same time provides more general and
more powerful tools to specialists. The condition is more closely related to empirical methods for measuring
utility than its predecessors. It provides a unifying tool for qualitatively testing, quantitatively measuring, and
normatively justifying expected utility.
Keywords: cardinal utility, expected utility, tradeoff consistency, strength of preference
