How is a worker's choice of employer affected by the wage in a context where job-specific motivation matters? In contrast to standard theory we conjecture that higher wages do not necessarily attract the right workers. Specifically, we hypothesize that mission-oriented organizations should pay...

Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is an appropriate tool for the stochastic analysis of risks related to extreme outcomes in random processes. If such processes are spatial in extent, as for example precipitation, wind or storm tides and surges, we have to deal with spatial variability and dependence...

Big Push models suggest that local product demand can create multiple labor market equilibria: one featuring high wages, formalization, and high demand and one with low wages, informality, and low demand. I demonstrate that minimum wages may coordinate development at the high wage equilibrium....

A conservation good, such as the rainforest, is a hostage: it is possessed by S who may prefer to consume it, but B receives a larger value from continued conservation. A range of prices would make trade mutually beneficial. So, why doesn't B purchase conservation, or the forest, from S? If this...

The research in this paper extends the standard random coefficient logit demand (S-RCL) framework using a Box-Cox transformation of the attribute space (BC-RCL) to empirically investigate vertical conduct scenarios in milk manufacturing and retailing. S-RCL relies on ad hoc linear indirect utility...

Impact assessment is of growing importance as a policy tool in the European Union. Sometimes it is equated with cost\benefit analysis, but often those do so lack a clear idea of what cost\benefit analysis entails as the normative standard for good policy. Economic analysts are likely to applaud...
