The transmission of sustainable harvesting norms when agents are conditionally cooperative
Richter, Andries; Grasman, Johan - 2013 - Draft version: 15 May 2013
Experimental and observational studies have highlighted the importance of agents being conditionally cooperative when facing a social dilemma. We formalize this mechanism in a theoretical model that portrays a small community having joint access to a common pool resource. The diffusion of norms...

Tax competition, investment irreversibility and the provision of public goods
Moretto, Michele; Panteghini, Paolo; Vergalli, Sergio - 2013
This article studies the effects of tax competition on the provision of public goods under business risk and partial irreversibility of investment. As will be shown, the provision of public goods changes over time and also depends on the business cycle. In particular, under source-based...

Simulating WTP values from random-coefficient models
Rischatsch, Maurus - 2009
Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) designed to estimate willingness-to-pay (WTP) values are very popular in health economics. With increased computation power and advanced simulation techniques, random-coefficient models have gained an increasing importance in applied work as they allow for...

A causal interpretation of extensive and intensive margin effects in generalized tobit models
Staub, Kevin E. - 2010
The usual decomposition of effects in corner solution models into extensive and intensive margins is generally incompatible with a causal interpretation. This paper proposes a decomposition based on the joint distribution of potential outcomes which is meaningful in a causal sense. The...

Revisiting the solution of dynamic discrete choice models : time to bring back Keane and Wolpin (1994)?
Britton, Jack; Waltmann, Ben - 2021
The ‘curse of dimensionality’ is a common problem in the estimation of dynamic models: as models get more complex, the computational cost of solving these models rises exponentially. Keane and Wolpin (1994) proposed a method for addressing this problem in finite-horizon dynamic discrete...

The cost of segregation in social networks
Allouch, Nizar - 2013
This paper investigates the private provision of public goods in segregated societies. While most research agrees that segregation undermines public provision, the findings are mixed for private provision: social interactions, being strong within groups and limited across groups, may either...
