Cockx, Bart; Ghirelli, Corinna; Van der Linden, Bruno - 2013
This paper develops a partial equilibrium job search model to study the behavioral and welfare implications of an Unemployment Insurance (UI) scheme in which job search requirements are imposed on UI recipients with hyperbolic preferences. We show that, if the search requirements are well...

The Cost of Well-being
Pettini, Anna; Patrizii, Vincenzo; Resce, Giuliano - 2015
Since measures of well-being are meant to be an exercise in documentation, but also a tool for policies and priorities, we suggest an operative way to use them. We evaluate both technical and social efficiency of countries in producing the Better Life Index (BLI) objectives. To assess the...

Airline Schedule Buffers and Flight Delays: A Discrete Model
Brueckner, Jan K.; Czerny, Achim I.; Gaggero, Alberto A. - 2020
This paper revisits the airline schedule-buffer choice problem analyzed by Brueckner, Czerny and Gaggero (2020) using a simpler model where the random shocks influencing flight times are discrete rather than continuous. The analysis yields closed-form solutions for the flight and ground buffers...
