Of Altruists and Thieves
Eastern Economic Journal - Tập 36 - Trang 317-343 - 2010
We replicate List's [2007] baseline dictator game (DG) with subjects earning their endowment, evaluate the effect of decreasing the stakes of the DG, conduct a DG in which taking is the only option, measure dictators’ ex post perceptions, and impose a social distance framing effect. Dictator behavior is influenced when they earn their endowment and when the stakes of the game are changed, but not ......
The Relationship Between Health and Schooling
Eastern Economic Journal - Tập 34 - Trang 281-292 - 2008
Many studies suggest that years of formal schooling completed is the most important correlate of good health. There is much less consensus as to whether this correlation reflects causality from more schooling to better health. The relationship may be traced in part to reverse causality and may also reflect “omitted third variables” that cause health and schooling to vary in the same direction. The......
Fiscal Stimulus and Credibility in Emerging Countries
Eastern Economic Journal - Tập 40 - Trang 420-439 - 2013
Across a sample of 34 emerging countries, the evidence shows the frequent existence of a pro-cyclical fiscal impulse. However, the scope for counter-cyclical policy increases with the availability of international reserves, as it enhances credibility and mitigates concerns about the effect of expansionary fiscal policy on the cost of borrowing and debt service. The paper also examines the effectiv......
Quantifying Market Inefficiencies in the Baseball Players’ Market
Eastern Economic Journal - Tập 40 - Trang 488-498 - 2013
Among the central arguments of the bestselling book and movie Moneyball was the allegation that the labor market for baseball players was inefficient in 2002. At that time, Billy Beane and the Oakland Athletics used observations made by statistical analysts to exploit this market inefficiency, and acquire productive players on the cheap. Econometric analysis published in 2006 and 2007 confirmed th......

The Trade-off between Family Size and Child Health in Rural Bangladesh
Eastern Economic Journal - Tập 40 - Trang 71-95 - 2012
Most of the work testing the quantity–quality model has concentrated on the trade-off between family size and educational attainment. We argue that child health is a plausible measure of child quality that has not been fully explored in the empirical literature. Using data from the Matlab Health and Socioeconomic Survey, we estimate the effect of family size on child mortality and several measures......
Rejecting “Conventional” Wisdom: Estimating the Economic Impact of National Political Conventions

This paper provides an empirical examination of the economic impact of the Democratic and Republican National Conventions on local economies. Our analysis from 1970–2005 of the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the country, including all cities that have hosted one of the national conventions during this time period, finds that the presence of the Republican or the Democratic National Convention ha......
