This paper introduces a new way to calculate and represent graphically a large number of elasticities of demand and … elasticities of demand and supply that are interacting together in the same graphical space and time. Hence, we try it to find two … synchronized general common elasticities that one is for demand and another one for supply in the market for any good or service …

This paper introduces four different focuses for microeconomics and macroeconomics that are based on the uses of multidimensional graphical modeling and multidimensional mathematical modeling. The main objective of this paper is to present some classic economic theoretical approaches such as the...

I study the effect of fatigue and innate ability on performance in a model with incomplete contracts, lumpy tasks requiring multiple periods of work and stochastic productivity shocks. I find that increasing ability or reducing fatigue does not lead necessarily to more productive efficiency,...

Let a society’s unhappiness be measured by the aggregate of the levels of relative deprivation of its members. When two societies of equal size, F and M, merge, unhappiness in the merged society is shown to be higher than the sum of the levels of unhappiness in the constituent societies when...

This paper provides a tractable theoretical model designed to capture the targeting incentives created by benchmark testing. Under high-stakes benchmark testing, schools and teachers are judged on the fraction of students that meet some given level of educational attainment. The incentive for...
