complement this principle in that we additionally consider the variety induced complexity throughout the assembly process. The … weighted Shannon entropy is proposed as a measure for the evaluation of this complexity. Our results show that the delayed …

Economic models of Fiscal Federalism, according to different settings, are generally linear and static, offering unique and deterministic solutions starting with simplifying assumptions. This paper rises from the idea to investigate how the decision-makers, abandoning their traditional economic...

This paper suggests a knowledge based approach to the formation of collaboration networks in basic research. Though mainly focused on foundations, it provides the example of a knowledge distribution supporting pairwise equilibrium outcomes which correspond to a star-like collaboration network.

This work shows that the modular organization of voluntary Open Source Software (OSS) production, whereby programmers supply effort of their accord, capitalizes more on division than on specialization of labor. This is so because voluntary OSS production is characterized by an organizational...

The synthesis of the G.Sigler’s rule of the optimal search with the classical individual labor supply model enlarges … the understanding of the phenomenon of money flexibility. The constraints of the search model makes the Lagrangian …

When expected savings on purchases are greater than the wage rate, the optimal search results in the negative marginal … utility of leisure. The search transforms the classical backward bending effect and the leisure becomes complementary to the … search. Consumers compensate “bad” leisure by status goods of exceptional quality on markets with high price dispersion …

Firms simultaneously set prices in a homogeneous-product market where uninformed consumers search for price information …. Some uninformed consumers are local searchers who visit only one seller, possibly due to high search costs or bounded … rationality; whereas others search sequentially with an optimal reservation price. Equilibrium prices may follow a mixture …
