Optimal control of interacting systems with DNSS property: The case of illicit drug use
Zeiler, I.; Caulkins, J.P.; Tragler, G. - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 78 (2011) 1, pp. 60-73
In this paper we generalize a one-dimensional optimal control problem with DNSS property to a two-dimensional optimal control problem. This is done by taking the direct product of the model with itself, i.e. we combine two similar system dynamics under a joint objective functional that is...

General polygyny -- near universal marriage and polygyny -- is common in Africa. But why would men marry n wives for 1/n:th of the time instead of monogamously? Downsides include prolonged bachelorhood and a high degree of step-parenting. We point to the African slave trade which...

Corruption clubs : empirical evidence from kernel density estimates
Herzfeld, Thomas; Weiss, Christoph R. - 2018
A common finding of many analytical models is the existence of multiple equilibria of corruption. Countries … characterized by the same economic, social and cultural background do not necessarily experience the same levels of corruption. In … this article, we use Kernel Density Estimation techniques to analyse the cross-country distribution of corruption …

Brezis, Elise S. - 2022
What is ethics and how is it related to the legal system and to economics? Are there ethical values in Jewish Law, and could it be that we find in the writing of Hazal [the sages] an interest in job turnover? The purpose of this paper is to answer to those questions by focusing on a specific...
