Lockdown strategies, mobility patterns and COVID-19
Askitas, Nikos; Tatsiramos, Konstantinos; Verheyden, … - 2020
We develop a multiple-events model and exploit within and between country variation in the timing, type and level of intensity of various non-pharmaceutical interventions to study their dynamic effects on the daily incidence of COVID-19 and on population mobility patterns across 135 countries....

Key links in network interactions: assessing route-specific travel restrictions in China during the COVID-19 pandemic
Chen, Xi; Qiu, Yun; Shi, Wei; Yu, Pei - 2022
We consider a model of network interactions where the outcome of a unit depends on the outcomes of the connected units. We determine the key network link, i.e., the network link whose removal results in the largest reduction in the aggregate outcomes, and provide a measure that quantifies the...

Optimal travel restrictions in epidemics
Shi, Wei; Qiu, Yun; Yu, Pei; Chen, Xi - 2022
Travel restrictions are often imposed to limit the spread of infectious diseases. As uniform restrictions can be inefficient and incur unnecessarily high costs, this paper examines the optimal design of restrictions that target specific travel routes. We propose a model with trade-offs between...

Market design for altruistic supply : evidence from the lab
Slonim, Robert; Wang, Carmen - 2016
Volunteer supply is widespread, yet without a price inefficiencies occur due to suppliers' inability to coordinate with each other and with demand. For these contexts, we propose a market clearinghouse mechanism that improves efficiency if supply is altruistically provided. The mechanism, a...

Market design and moral behavior
Kirchler, Michael; Huber, Jürgen; Stefan, Matthias; … - 2015
In an experiment with 739 subjects we study whether and how different interventions might have an influence on the degree of moral behavior when subjects make decisions that can generate negative externalities on uninvolved parties. Particularly, subjects can either take money for themselves or...

Improving the peer review process : a proposed market system
Frijters, Paul; Torgler, Benno - 2016
The current peer review system suffers from two key problems: promotion of an in-crowd whose methods, opinions and innovations it protects; and failure to represent the opinions and interests of non-peer clients. As a result, whole disciplines orient themselves toward navel-gazing research...
