Coping with Disaster: The Impact of Hurricanes on International Financial Flows, 1970-2002
Tập 8 Số 1
Abstract How well do countries cope with the aftermath of natural disasters? Do
international financial flows buffer countries in the wake of disasters? This
paper examines the impact of hurricanes on resource flows to developing
countries. Using meteorological data, I construct a time-varying storm index
taking into account the fraction of a country's population exposed to storms of
varying inten...
Does It Pay To Pray? Costly Ritual and Cooperation
Tập 7 Số 1
Abstract Time-consuming and costly religious rituals pose a puzzle for
economists committed to rational choice theories of human behavior. We propose

hypothesis we design field experiments to measure the in-group cooperative
behavior of members ...
Telling the Truth May Not Pay Off: An Empirical Study of Centralized University Admissions in Germany
Tập 10 Số 1
Abstract Matching university places to students is not as clear cut or as

lack physical branches. Using a randomized control trial, we investigate
determinants of participation in a deposit collection service and evaluate the
impact of offe...
Optimally Managing a Stochastic Renewable Resource under General Economic Conditions
Tập 9 Số 1
Abstract Empirical evidence indicates that environmental fluctuations have
important effects on fisheries production. However, existing analytical
solutions of stochastic fisheries models have been produced only under highly
simplified economic and biological conditions. The main contribution of this
paper is to derive under general conditions a policy function for the management
of a stochastic f...
