Are Institutions a crucial Determinant of Cross Country Economic Efficiency? A Two-Stage Double Bootstrap Data Envelopment Analysis
Siddiqui, Danish Ahmed - 2019
stage, cross country workers' efficiency is estimated using a bootstrapped DEA approach over the period of 1990-2000 for 78 … countries. In the second stage, the impact of institutions on these efficiency estimates is analyzed in a truncated bootstrapped …, bureaucratic inefficiencies, lax regulations and unfriendly business policies, tend to have a larger effect on workers efficiency …

Alternative Approaches to Evaluating Multispecies Fishery Efficiency
Coppola, Gianluigi; Gambino, Monica; Spagnolo, Massimo - 2015
In this paper, the estimate of the productive efficiency for some Italian fleet segments is proposed. The estimate is … might be preferable to non-parametric DEA method for efficiency estimation. In other words, the risk connected with DEA is … efficiency of fishing vessels and fleet segments. This paper attempts to apply both techniques, simultaneously, to the …

Changing collective action : norm-nudges and team decisions
Diekert, Florian; Eymess, Tillmann - 2021
We test whether a descriptive norm-nudge is a suitable policy tool to increase cooperation in a social dilemma when decisions are taken by teams, not individuals. 10 Each team in our experiment comes from a different fishing boat at Lake Victoria, Tanzania. The provision of a norm-nudge is...

Low, high and super congestion of an open-access natural resource: the autarky case
Schiff, Maurice W. - 2020
Production of commodities based on open-access renewable natural resources (NR) has usually been examined under "low" congestion (LC) - where MC AC and both increase with output. I identify two additional congestion categories, "high" (HC) and "super" (SC) congestion - where AC is...

Expectations and Adaptation to Environmental Risks
Shrader, Jeffrey - 2020
Climate change is projected to severely damage the global economy. Adaptation in response to a changing climate will affect how much damage ultimately occurs. This paper introduces a method for estimating forward-looking adaptation based on differences in responses to forecasts and realizations...

Causal forest estimation of heterogeneous and time-varying environmental policy effects
Miller, Steve - 2020
Empirically evaluating environmental policies requires grappling with impacts that exhibit not only cross-sectional heterogeneity, but also variation across time. Phased policy roll-outs offer opportunities for improvement across cohorts and policy effects can grow or decay, especially when...

Cooperation in the Face of Thresholds, Risk, and Uncertainty
Rocha, Juan C. - 2019
Cooperation is thought to be a necessary condition to solve collective dilemmas such as climate change or the sustainable use of common-pool resources. Yet, it is poorly understood how situations pervaded by thresholds shape the behaviour of people facing collective dilemmas. Here we provide...
