We introduce “group cohesion” to study the economic relevance of social relationships in team production. We operationalize measurement of group cohesion, adapting the “oneness scale” from psychology. A series of experiments, including a pre-registered replication, reveals strong...

We introduce the concept of "group cohesion" to capture the economic consequences of ubiquitous social relationships in group production. We measure group cohesion, adapting the "oneness scale" from psychology. A comprehensive program of new experiments reveals the considerable economic impact...

Existing research has demonstrated carryover effects whereby emotions generated in one context influence decisions in other, unrelated ones. We examine the carryover effect in relation to valuations of risky and ambiguous lotteries with a novel focus on the comparison of carryovers arising from...

We introduce and test a new tool designed to measure "relationship closeness". Studying relationship closeness has a long history in psychology and is currently expanding in other fields including economics. Our new measurement tool is a refinement of the widely used "Inclusion of Other in the...

The paper reports an attempt to construct a macro-econometric model for Bangladesh in order to assess the impact of monetary policy upon real income, the price level and the balance of payments. Over the last 15 years , the country has operated a very cautious monetary policy at the behest of...

A framework is presented for investigating bivariate causal relations using Granger's notion of causality. This framework is employed to test the relationship between money supply and prices in Bangladesh using monthly data for the period 1973 to 1986. The results indicate evidence of...

The paper reports an experiment which tests the principle of separability, i.e. that behaviour in a dynamic choice problem is independent of history and of unreachable eventualities. Although this is a well-known principle of orthodox decision theory and central to conventional economic...
