ARE WOMEN MORE RISK AVERSE? We find that single women exhibit relatively more risk aversion in financial decision making than single men. Using U.S. sample data, we examine household holdings of risky assets to determine whether there are gender differences in financial risk taking. As wealth increases, the proportion of wealth held as risky assets is estimated to increase by a smaller amount for single... ... hiện toàn bộ

THE BEHAVIORAL LIFE‐CYCLE HYPOTHESISSelf‐control, mental accounting, and framing are incorporated in a behavioral enrichment of the life‐cycle theory of saving called the Behavioral Life‐Cycle (BLC) hypothesis. The key assumption of the BLC theory is that households treat components of their wealth as nonfungible, even in the absence of credit rationing. Specifically, wealth is assumed to be divided into three mental account... ... hiện toàn bộ

DO NATURAL DISASTERS PROMOTE LONG‐RUN GROWTH?In this article, we investigate the long‐run relationships among disasters, capital accumulation, total factor productivity, and economic growth. The cross‐country empirical analysis demonstrates that higher frequencies of climatic disasters are correlated with higher rates of human capital accumulation, increases in total factor productivity, and economic growth. Though disaster risk redu... ... hiện toàn bộ

On the Nature of Fair BehaviorThis article shows that identical offers in an ultimatum game generate systematically different rejection rates depending on the other offers that are available to the proposer. This result casts doubt on the consequentialist practice in economics to define the utility of an action solely in terms of the consequences of the action irrespective of the set of alternatives. It means in partic... ... hiện toàn bộ

BUSINESS CYCLE ASYMMETRY: A DEEPER LOOKThis paper distinguishes two types of asymmetry in business cycles: deepness and steepness. Deepness is defined as the characteristic that troughs are further below trend than peaks are above. Most previous research has focused exclusively on steepness, which refers to cycles in which contractions are steeper than expansions. A test for deepness is proposed and applied to U.S. post‐war qua... ... hiện toàn bộ

THE EFFECT OF REWARDS AND SANCTIONS IN PROVISION OF PUBLIC GOODS A growing number of field and experimental studies focus on the institutional arrangements by which individuals are able to solve collective action problems. Important in this research is the role of reciprocity and institutions that facilitate cooperation via opportunities for monitoring, sanctioning, and rewarding others. Sanctions represent a cost to both the participant i... ... hiện toàn bộ

RAISING THE STAKES IN THE ULTIMATUM GAME: EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIAThe ultimatum game has generated considerable interest because experimental evidence strongly rejects the standard game‐theoretic predictions. A limitation to this general result is the possibility that experimental results are an artifact of small stakes. Implementing the ultimatum game in Indonesia makes it possible to raise the stakes to three times the monthly expenditure of the averag... ... hiện toàn bộ

THEORIES OF COMMITMENT, ALTRUISM AND RECIPROCITY: EVIDENCE FROM LINEAR PUBLIC GOODS GAMES Theories of commitment, altruism, and reciprocity have been invoked to explain and describe behavior in public goods and social dilemma situations. Commitment has been used to explain behaviors like water conservation and voting. Altruism has been applied to explain contributions to charities and intergenerational transfers and bequests. Reciprocity has been invoked to explai... ... hiện toàn bộ

DO CIVIL AND POLITICAL REPRESSION REALLY BOOST FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS?Multinational enterprises are often accused of having a preference for investing in countries in which the working populations' civil and political rights are largely disregarded. This article presents an empirical investigation of the popular “political repression boosts FDI” hypothesis and arrives at the conclusion that the hypothesis is not supported. On the contrary, multinational ente... ... hiện toàn bộ

RULES AND DISCRETION WITH NONCOORDINATED MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICIESThe time inconsistency of optimal monetary policy is due to the effects of tax distortions. Thus the issue of how to improve upon the time‐consistent suboptimal monetary policy is related to that of the coordination of monetary and fiscal policy. We present a model with three players (the central bark, the fiscal authority, and wage setters) in which distortionary taxes are explicitly mode... ... hiện toàn bộ
