The existing literature on fiscal policy has mainly employed linear models that found a small fiscal multiplier in developing economies. These findings challenge the importance and e↵ectiveness of fiscal policy for these countries. However, linear models are not capable of distinguishing the...

One of the key areas in fiscal policy investigations is the size of the fiscal multiplier, and most studies find contradictory results. In this current study, we use a unique dataset of 132 studies and more than 3200 observations to conduct a meta-analysis on multiplier effects, and employ...

Interest in fiscal policy has been dynamically improved in the last two decades; the number of research conducted on this topic has significantly increased in recent years. One of the key areas in fiscal policy investigations is the size of the fiscal multiplier, and most studies find...

This paper analyses problems within the asymmetric information models (principal agent models) where we replace standard assumption of maximisation of expected income by maximisation of probability of economic survival. This paper concentrates on two basic models - adverse selection model and...

This article shows that the altruism of the donator could have different forms. The specific form of his optimisation criterion significantly influences his decision making concerning the allocation of his resources among recipients. Moreover, even within one chosen criterion we could report...

The St Petersburg paradox could be used as an extreme demonstration of the utility function cardinalisation in case of stochastic utility. In this article we reassume the von Neumann and Mongernstern explanation to this paradox based on the risk aversion expressed by the strict concavity of the...

This paper is an attempt to grasp and model the problem of optimal strategy of a firm under conditions of unremitting increase of returns to scale and multiple threats of firm's downfall. The firm in our model has to pay high fixed costs to enter the market and its marginal costs are...
