Anorexia, Body Image and Peer Effects: Evidence from a Sample of European Women Excessive preoccupation with self‐image (or identity) is regarded as a factor contributing to the proliferation of food disorders, especially among young women. This paper models how self‐image and peer effects influence health‐related behaviours, specifically food disorders. We empirically test our claims using data from the Eurobarometer Survey. Our findings suggest that the larger peers’ body mass, the lower the likelihood of being anorexic. Self‐image is correlated with body weight. We use several definitions of peers’ body mass, and find that all are negatively associated with the likelihood of women being thin or extremely thin.

Transboundary Fishery: A Differential Game Model We consider a differential game between two players, where one player has the first–mover advantage. We compare the equilibrium of this model with the one generated by a conventional symmetric model. The existence of a first mover results in more conservationist exploitation in the aggregate. We also consider the implication of departures from the equilibrium. If the leader can commit to decrease its fishing effort over a finite interval of time, then the follower may respond by increasing, or decreasing, its catch rate, depending on the length of the commitment period.

Interest Rate Pass‐Through and Monetary Transmission: Evidence from Individual Financial Institutions' Retail Rates Official interest rate changes should influence short rates on money market instruments and retail products, such as deposit accounts and mortgages, but complete pass‐through is often taken for granted. This paper provides a theoretical and econometric framework for assessing the evidence for this assumption using seventeen years of monthly data for rates on thirteen deposit and mortgage products offered by individual UK financial institutions. The methodology allows for asymmetries and non‐linearities in adjustment and the results show that the speed of adjustment in retail rates depends on whether the perceived ‘gap’ between retail and base rates is widening or narrowing.
