Real Options Effects on Employment : Does Exchange Rate Uncertainty Matter for Aggregation?
Göcke, Matthias; Belke, Ansgar - 2004
In a baseline micro model a band of inaction due to hiring- and firing-costs is widened by option value effects of exchange rate uncertainty. Based on this micro foundation an aggregation approach is presented. Under uncertainty, intervals of weak response to exchange rate reversals (called...

Organizational Barriers to Technology Adoption: Evidence from Soccer-Ball Producers in Pakistan
Atkin, David; Chaudhry, Azam; Chaudry, Shamyla; … - 2015
This paper studies technology adoption in a cluster of soccer-ball producers in Sialkot, Pakistan. We invented a new cutting technology that reduces waste of the primary raw material and gave the technology to a random subset of producers. Despite the arguably unambiguous net benefits of the...
