Under the impetus of Edward Lazear, personnel economics has established itself as a particularly dynamic area of mainstream labour economics. It aspires to provide the best solutions to the practical problems that human resource managers encounter. The following paper aims to do the following:...

This chapter presents a Wagnerian vision of macroeconomics as a hybrid of several schools of thought and analytic frameworks, including public choice theory, constitutional economics, complexity economics, and evolutionary economics. We then review recent economic analysis of emerging...

Critiques of Neoclassical Economics extend, unsurprisingly, to its mathematical structure. The discussion has largely focused on General Equilibrium Theory (GET), a formalism developed by Léon Walras over a century ago. Internally consistent, but highly unrealistic, GET lacks predictive power,...

Integrating economic experiments into household surveys provides unique possibilities. We introduce the German Socio-Economic Panel's Innovation Sample (SOEPIS), which offers researchers detailed panel data and the possibility to collect personalized experimental and survey data for free. We...

Research technique is a critical component of every study, and, therefore, determining the method of research is a crucial step in that process. This paper serves as an introduction to the design of an investigation method for the impacts of intellectual capital on dynamic innovation...

We study the size and drivers of non-standard errors (Menkveld et al., 2021) in portfolio sorts across 14 common methodological decision nodes and 40 sorting variables. These non-standard errors range between 0.05 and 0.26 percent and are, on average, larger than standard errors. Supposedly...

In this paper we augment the CoMap methodology with an advanced set of regulatory distress and default constraints and banks’ behavioural rules which allows us to model and capture the implications for financial stability of dynamic banks’ responses. The result is an adaptive contagion...

В статье рассмотрены пути повышение эффективности инвестиций за счет разработки адекватных современным условиям мер и механизмов активизации этого процесса и...

Purpose - Strategic agility is a fuzzy concept that has become crucial to cope with environmental uncertainty and instability; hence, more in-depth studies are highly needed. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the still diffuse research area of strategic agility by clarifying its scope...

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are increasingly prominent in economics, with pre-registration and pre-analysis plans (PAPs) promoted as important in ensuring the credibility of findings. We investigate whether these tools reduce the extent of p-hacking and publication bias by collecting and...

Responding to the growing importance of economic reasoning in legal scholarship, this innovative work provides an essential introduction to the economic tools which can usefully be employed in legal reasoning. It is geared specifically towards those without a great deal of exposure to economic...

This article analyses different methodological approaches adopted by theoretical articles published in translation studies journals. To account for the range of perspectives, a small corpus comprising articles from three journals listed in both the Thomson and Reuters Social Sciences Citation...

Why did the Beatles become a worldwide sensation? Why do some cultural products succeed and others fail? Why are some musicians, poets, and novels,, unsuccessful or unknown in their lifetimes, iconic figures decades or generation after their deaths? Why are success and failure so unpredictable?...

We develop a new method for estimating industry-level and aggregate total factor productivity (TFP) growth. Our method accounts for profits and adjustment costs, and uses firm surveys to proxy for changes in factor utilization. Using it to compute TFP growth rates in the United States and in...

For economists, the task of paramount importance is not only to generalize the experience of the effectiveness of previously introduced economic sanctions but also to study all kinds of effects (both positive and negative) of modern large-scale economic sanctions against Russia. The term...

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits US firms from paying bribes to foreign public officials. We show that FCPA enforcement has no positive effect on the GDP per capita of the countries of these officials but, rather, increases their countries shadow economy. When public officials...

Individual vulnerability has triggered a vivid debate in the data protection field. However, the efforts to define and protect vulnerable individuals in data protection law (building on a blurred notion of “data power” imbalance) appear still incomplete, under both a theoretical and a...

In statistics, samples are drawn from a population in a data-generating process (DGP). Standard errors measure the uncertainty in sample estimates of population parameters. In science, evidence is generated to test hypotheses in an evidence-generating process (EGP). We claim that EGP variation...

Lignin hydropyrolysis characteristics were investigated in a high-pressure micro-reactor with on-line analysis. The effects of atmosphere, pressure, and temperature on product formation during lignin pyrolysis were quantitatively studied. The formation mechanisms of typical products were...
