Scott, Susan V.; Walsham, Geoff - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2004

Globalizing knowledge economies foster conditions that intensify the role and value of organizational reputation risk … reputation risk. Having noted the ambivalence that surrounds ‘risk positions’, we present a re-definition of reputation risk that … encompasses the dynamics of contemporary risk and trust relationships. We explore the capacity of different trust forms to reduce …

Risk-adjusted poverty in Argentina: measurement and determinants

Cruces, Guillermo; Wodon, Quentin - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2003

Relying on a Constant Relative Risk Aversion utility function, we use panel data for Argentina to compute risk …-adjusted income and poverty measures and to analyze their determinants. Taking risk into account increases poverty. The regression …

Income fluctuation, poverty and well-being over time: theory and application to Argentina

Cruces, Guillermo - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2005

This paper studies poverty as a dynamic phenomenon, motivated by the recurring economic crises that affect developing countries and the incidence of income fluctuations on household welfare. While the increasing availability of household panel data has been exploited in theoretical analysis and...

Like ripples on a pond: behavioral spillovers and their implications for research and policy

Dolan, Paul; Galizzi, Matteo M. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2015

No behavior sits in a vacuum, and one behavior can greatly affect what happens next. We propose a conceptual frame within which a broad range of behavioral spillovers can be accounted for when applying behavioral science to policy challenges. We consider behaviors which take place sequentially...

Because I'm worth it: a lab-field experiment on the spillover effects of incentives in health

Dolan, Paul; Galizzi, Matteo M. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014

We conduct a controlled lab-field experiment to directly test the short-run spillover effects of one-off financial incentives in health. We consider how incentives affect effort in a physical activity task – and then how they spillover to subsequent eating behaviour. Compared to a control...

Efficiency and equilibrium when preferences are time-inconsistent

Luttmer, Erzo G. J.; Mariotti, Thomas - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2003

We consider an exchange economy with time-inconsistent consumers whose preferences are additively separable. When these consumers trade in a sequence of markets, their time-inconsistency may introduce a non-convexity that gives them an incentive to trade lotteries. If there are many consumers,...

A reconciliation of two alternative approaches towards buffer stock saving

Michaelides, Alexander - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2003

This paper shows that the two main models in the buffer stock saving literature can be nested in a model that varies the level of available social insurance. Equivalently, the assumption about the time series process for labor income (and social insurance during unemployment) is crucial in...

General properties of rational stock-market fluctuations

Mele, Antonio - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2004

Which pricing kernel restrictions are needed to make low dimensional Markov models consistent with given sets of predictions on aggregate stock-market fluctuations ? This paper develops theoretical test conditions addressing this and related reverse engineering issues arising within a fairly...

Looking ahead: subjective time perception and individual discounting

Bradford, W. David; Dolan, Paul; Galizzi, Matteo M. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014

Time discounting is at the heart of economic decision-making. We disentangle hyperbolic discounting from subjective time perception using experimental data from incentive-compatible tests to measure time preferences, and a set of experimental tasks to measure time perception. The two behavioural...
