This paper studies the effect of austerity on forms of political participation-including voting, appealing for reform, and peaceful protesting-and the role of preferences for redistribution in shaping the relationship between individual exposure to austerity and political participation. The...

We explore the effect of changes in the number of concealed pistol permits issued on the number of gun-related hospitalizations in Pennsylvania. With hospital admissions data and license-to-carry permit data, we use a control function approach and several different instruments to analyze this...

This paper introduces a new way to calculate and represent graphically a large number of elasticities of demand and supply behaviors from a multidimensional perspective. The main objective of this paper is to represent a large number of elasticities of demand and supply that are interacting...

This article describes, within a microeconomic intergenerational bargaining framework incorporating two discrete periods and binary states of risks, some new aspects regarding the mixture of intergenerational risk sharing and social security. Here, state-dependent utility under mortality risk...

This paper puts forward a new optical visualization of Supply and Demand curves from a Multi-Dimensional (MD) view. The idea behind showing Supply and Demand curves from the MD view is to propose the application of MD graphs among academics, economists and policy makers in the study of micro-...

McCormick and Tollison's (1984) analysis of the ACC Basketball Tournament offers strong evidence in favor of the deterrence model of crime. They find that a 50 percent increase in the number of referees lead to a 34 percent decrease in the number of fouls called. We collect two new sets of ACC...

By integrating elements of both marketing and finance, we show how risk influences channel contract behavior. We model risk behavior as the interaction between risk attitude and risk perception (IRAP). An analysis of the joint channel decisions of 208 producers, wholesalers, and processors...

Close to 50 prominent business schools have been "named" in the 1980s and 1990s, in exchange for sizable financial donations. Recognizing that schools are limited in number and have one name to sell, we suggest that the market for business school names can be regarded as an interesting example...

We experimentally study unanimity and majority voting rules in multilateral bargaining environments with stochastic future surplus. In these settings, reaching agreement when expected future surplus is sufficiently higher than the current surplus is inefficient. Theoretically, such...
