This paper investigates how the heterogenous incomes and preferences of potential donors affect the timing of contribution decisions when it is endogenously determined by contributors themselves. More specifically, we use a simple setting with two donors, Cobb-Douglas preferences, and complete...

We formulate a dynamic game model of trade in an exhaustible resource with a quantity-setting cartel. We compute the feedback Nash equilibrium and two Stackelberg equilibria under two different leadership scenarios: leadership by the strategic importing country, and leadership by the exporting...

In this paper we revisit the evidence on the effects of time spent on border-crossing procedures for international … trade using a theory-consistent structural gravity model. We exploit a rich panel data set including domestic trade flows … significant negative effect of the time required for border procedures that is driven by the time needed for document preparation …

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is currently implemented by more than seventy countries, yet we do not have a clear …-in-differences approach, we find that the Spring DST causes a significant decline in life satisfaction. By inducing a reallocation of time …, the transition into DST deteriorates sleep and increases time stress, which in turn affects physical and emotional health …
