HERMES Precision Results on g1p, g1d and g1n and the First Measurement of the Tensor Structure Function b1d

Final HERMES results on the proton, deuteron and neutron structure function g1 are presented in the kinematic range 0.0021<x<0.9 and 0.1<Q2<20 GeV2. These results base on a refined analysis and are corrected for radiative and detector smearing effects using an unfolding algorithm. Furthermore, preliminary results on the first measurement of the tensor asymmetry Azz and the tensor structure function b1d are presented.Comment: Proceedings for Spin 2004 conference (16th international spin physics symposium) in Trieste, Italy (October 10-16, 2004); 4 pages, 3 figure

Behavioral and Experimental Economics Can Inform Public Policy: Some Thoughts

Experimental and behavioral economics are well established branches in the economic science. This essay presents and discusses some results and behavioral regularities from these fields which are of potential importance for public policy. After a brief introduction of what experimental and behavioral economics is, some behavioural regularities as presentation and framing effects, pro-social behavior, and reciprocity are introduced and it is reported how they interact with prominent trading institutions, taxation, and social and individual well-being. Throughout some implications for public policy are discussed.public economics, experimental economics, behavioral economics, public policy
