Total factor productivity and the role of entrepreneurship
Erken, Hugo; Donselaar, Piet; Thurik, A. Roy - 2008
Total factor productivity of twenty OECD countries for a recent period (1971-2002) is explained using six different models based on the established literature. Traditionally, entrepreneurship is not dealt with in these models. In the present paper it is shown that - when this variable is added -...

Context and interpretation in laboratory experiments: The case of reciprocity
Levati, Maria Vittoria; Miettinen, Topi; Rai, Birendra K. - 2010
The existing literature acknowledges that a mismatch between the experimenter's and the subjects' models of an experimental task can adversely affect the interpretation of data from laboratory experiments. We discuss why the two common experimental designs (between-subjects and within-subjects)...

Heuristic and exact solutions to the inverse power index problem for small voting bodies
Kurz, Sascha; Napel, Stefan - 2012
Power indices are mappings that quantify the influence of the members of a voting body on collective decisions a priori. Their nonlinearity and discontinuity makes it difficult to compute inverse images, i.e., to determine a voting system which induces a power distribution as close as possible...

Lying, spying, sabotaging: Procedures and consequences
Chlaß, Nadine; Riener, Gerhard - 2015
Do individuals prefer to compete fairly, or unfairly with an opponent? We study individuals who can choose how to compete for one ex-post nonzero payoff. They can either nudge themselves into a fair set of rules where they have the same information and actions as their opponent, or into unfair...

Minimum participation rules with heterogeneous countries
Weikard, Hans-Peter; Wangler, Leo; Freytag, Andreas - 2009
Almost all international environmental agreements include a minimum participation rule. Under such a rule an agreement becomes legally binding if and only if a certain threshold in terms of membership or contribution is reached. We analyze a cartel game with open membership and heterogeneous...
