We study experimentally the impact of pre-play social interactions on negotiations. These interactions are often complex.

The Routine-Biased Technological Change (RBTC) has been called as a relatively novel technologybased explanation of social changes like job and wage polarization. In this paper we investigate the wage inequality between routine and non-routine workers along the wage distribution in Italy. Thanks...

We develop a possibility to work index (PWI) taking the ability to work from home and workplace closures into account. By using the data from the HLFS in Turkey, we examine the individual level determinants of PWI. Our findings reveal that PWI and ability to work from home are significantly...
