The Keynesian beauty contest revisited
Keynes’ beauty contest story (Keynes, 1936, p. 156) is a metaphor illuminating how speculators’ decisions on stock markets are guided by expectations’ expectations. Keynes’ idea has been implemented in laboratory experiments since the early nineties using a guessing game design with a contracting factor usually smaller than 1. That means that 1 is the unique Nash equilibrium if the choice space is given by the natural numbers from 1 to 100.

Robert A. Marx Robert A. Marx (they/he) is an assistant professor of child and adolescent development at San José State University and a Public Voices Fellow with the OpEd Project.

Many transgender students thrived during remote teaching, but are now being left behind

main Arts & Entertainment A “teachable moment” book for those curious about both Miami and South Africa November 17, 2019 As fewer Americans travel to South Africa because of level two travel advisories, and we become less familiar with the culture, a new fictional book by a chief scientist explores South Africa’s challenges with poaching and illustrates how meaningful the country is today along the path to safety for its wildlife.
“So You Can’t Keep a Maid!”
In the 1940s, when house servants were three times more common in American households than they are today, many homeowners complained, “You can’t get decent help these days.” Here, a former maid tells the other side of the story. I’ve worked in kitchens from Philadelphia’s haughty Main Line to the crags and canyons of Hollywood, where the homes of the movie stars perch. And it is my forthright opinion that most women have a mean streak in them when dealing with maids. I don’t feel like a servant.

More than 36 days after the Nina II set sail, a search and rescue unit located the ship and dropped in fresh supplies.

Could Gay-Straight Alliances Reduce Bullying?
As students across the country zip up their backpacks and get on the bus for their first weeks of school, many will have more to focus on than memorizing their new schedules or making it to homeroom on time. For some, the chief concern will be avoiding the bullying and harassment that follow from class to class, through the hallways, or into locker rooms. Although federal data indicate rates of bullying have decreased over the past decade, bullying remains a significant issue.

A Critic’s Summit
Back when new Broadway plays and musicals were rushed into print, collected drama criticism also took up prime space on bookstore shelves—until the business changed two decades ago.
