| Rank as an inherent incentive: Evidence from a field experimentOriginal Research ArticlePages 645-650 Anh Tran, Richard Zeckhauser |
| Redistribution and the notion of social statusOriginal Research ArticlePages 651-657 Ennio Bilancini, Leonardo Boncinelli |
Highlights
► Concerns for social status can be ordinal or cardinal. ► Social status affects the relationship between inequality and conspicuous consumption. ► When status is ordinal, more equality increases conspicuous consumption. ► Cardinal status allows for more equality to reduce conspicuous consumption. ► Cardinal status allows for more equality to be Pareto improving.
| The private provision of excludable public goods: An inefficiency resultOriginal Research ArticlePages 658-669 Tore Ellingsen, Elena Paltseva |
Highlights
► We study the private provision of excludable public goods. ► We identify an incentive to wait in order to negotiate access later. ► We demonstrate how such free-riding depends on the model’s parameters. ► We demonstrate that the argument is quite robust to alternative assumptions.
| The influence of financial status on the effectiveness of environmental enforcementOriginal Research ArticlePages 670-684 Dietrich Earnhart, Kathleen Segerson |
Highlights
► Analyzes financial status and environmental enforcement effectiveness. ► Considers enforcement likelihood and severity and liquidity, solvency, profitability. ► Identifies theoretically optimal abatement in the presence of liquidity and bankruptcy. ► Examines empirically enforcement of wastewater limits. ► Shows theoretically and empirically more enforcement can increase pollution.
| International Environmental Agreements with mixed strategies and investmentOriginal Research ArticlePages 685-697 Fuhai Hong, Larry Karp |
Highlights
► We look at mixed strategy equilibrium in participation of a canonical IEA game. ► It reinforces a pessimistic result on participation in the literature. ► For sufficiently low abatement costs, the use of mixed strategies overturns that conclusion. ► With pure strategies, investment reducing abatement costs may be counterproductive. ► In contrast, with mixed strategies, investment leads to higher participation and welfare.
| How low business tax rates attract MNE activity: Municipality-level evidence from GermanyOriginal Research ArticlePages 698-711 Sascha O. Becker, Peter H. Egger, Valeria Merlo |
