This experimental study examines the effectiveness of different reallocation mechanisms in priority queuing systems. Priority queuing is a widely used approach to allocate resources based on priority levels in various domains. However, the choice of reallocation mechanism can significantly impact the fairness and efficiency of resource allocation. In this study, we compare three different reallocation mechanisms: First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS), Last-Come-First-Serve (LCFS), and Trading Places (TP). We conduct a series of experiments to evaluate the performance of these mechanisms in terms of fairness, average waiting time, and overall system efficiency. Our findings reveal that Trading Places outperforms both FCFS and LCFS in terms of fairness and average waiting time. Furthermore, Trading Places exhibits a higher level of system efficiency compared to the other two mechanisms. These results suggest that Trading Places can be a promising reallocation mechanism for priority queuing systems.

This study investigates the phenomenon of fiscal illusion and its implications for progressive taxation in the context of retrospective voting. Fiscal illusion refers to the distortion of individuals' perception of the true cost of government services and the associated tax burden. Retrospective voting, on the other hand, refers to voters' tendency to base their electoral choices on the past performance of the government. The study examines how these two factors interact and influence the support for progressive taxation policies. By analyzing empirical data and employing economic and political theories, the study sheds light on the complexities of fiscal illusion and its impact on tax policy.
