There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The Southern Economic Journal will publish "Effort and Performance: What Distinguishes Interacting and Non-interacting Groups from Individuals?" by Prof. Tibor Besedes and co-authored with Cary Deck (U of Arkansas), Sarah Quintanar (U or Arkansas Little Rock), Sudipta Sarangi (LSU), and Mikhael Shor (U of Connecticut). The paper examines experimentally which feature of groups allows them to avoid free riding of their members. A working paper version is available here.
