Weak versus strong dominance of shrinkage estimators
De Luca, Giuseppe; Magnus, Jan R. - 2021

Wage dynamics and promotions inside and between firms
Silva, António Dias da; Klaauw, Bas van der - 2006

Soetevent, Adriaan R.; Te, Bao; Schippers, Anouk L. - 2016
Commercial firms are increasingly tying the sales of their products with donations to a charitable cause. Apart from a charitable motive, offering these charity-linked bundles could be a strategic instrument for firms to increase profits. We report the results of an experiment that investigates...
