This article describes how there exists ample experimental evidence demonstrating a positive wage-effort relationship in which the results from the employee's effort lead to deterministic firm payoffs. The authors thus investigate a reframed version of the gift-exchange game in which the firms'...

Social peace is an asset to every society. Its absence endangers the well-being and the safety of the population and the stability of states. In order to better understand the interdependencies of poverty, social peace and migration pressure the authors introduce the model of the...

Durch kleine Sendungsgrößen und eine Vielzahl von Lieferorten ist die "last mile"-Zustellung insbesondere im B2C Geschäft ein wesentlicher Erfolgs- bzw. Misserfolgsfaktor. Das gilt sowohl für die Anbieter von Heimlieferservices als auch für deren Transportlogistikpartner. Die Ansätze zur...

Background: UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and SUGVs (Sidewalk Unmanned Ground Vehicles) are two prominent options to revolutionize last mile home delivery. However, there is no literature yet addressing a comprehensive assessment of them. To bridge this research gap, this paper aimed to...

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) will soon be a reality on our roads. Up to now, their standard behaviour is predetermined since it is the result of programmed algorithms. Under risky traffic situations, however, they will face dilemmas such as, deciding between affecting the passenger or affecting...

Ample experimental evidence demonstrates a positive wage-effort relationship in which the results from the employee's effort lead to deterministic firm' payoffs. We thus investigate a reframed version of the gift-exchange game by Fehr et al. (1998) in which the firms' payoffs can take two values...
