    Rational Ignorance versus Rational Irrationality (2001)
    Basel, Switzerland : Helbing & Lichtenhahn Verlag AG
    Kyklos 54 (2001), S. 0

    Notes: The paper presents a model of ‘rational irrationality’ to explain why political and religious beliefs are marked not only by low information (as the notion of rational ignorance highlights), but also by systematic bias and high certainty. Being irrational – i.e., deviating from rational expectations – is modeled as normal good. The reason that irrationality in politics and religion is so pronounced is that the private repercussions of error are virtually nonexistant. The consumption of irrationality can be efficient, but it will usually not be when the private and the social cost of irrationality differ – for example, in elections.

    Short-Term Horizons in Foreign Exchange? Survey Evidence from dealers and Fund Managers (2001)

    Notes: The paper examines the extent and determinants of short-term horizons in taking open positions using a questionnaire mailed to professional foreign exchange market participants in Germany. The findings reveal that the absolute anticipation horizon is short, but not necessarily short-termist. Another related but empirically different measure is proposed, based on the relative length of different horizons; its use clearly shows widespread restrictions in relation to optimal behavior. No determinants in personal characteristics were established for either empirical measure; rather the instituional environment was found to be an influence. Thus, professionals may adept rationally to their incentive structure, which works towards short-term horizons in position taking.

    The Economics of Shame in Work Groups: How Mutual Monitoring Can Decrease Cooperation in Teams (2001)

    Notes: Recent economic theory suggests that free riding under group piece-rate incentive schemes can be alleviated by mutual monitroing and social sanctioning. This article challenges this assumption by showing that the presence of the price mechanism in mutual monitoring and sanctioning can decrease the motivation to cooperate for certain types of agents: because the social rewards for cooperation that may develop through work are potentially based in a desire for pecuniary gain, withholding approval may matter less to initially cooperative agents. Hence, mutual monitoring can decrease cooperation in teams. The author presents evidence from social psychology illuminating differences between indiividualistic and cooperative types, discusses implications for work group design and future research, and presents a short mathematical model.

    Notes: This article analyzes whether unemployment has an effect on the splitting of a marital relationship. The study uses 40 000 observations on unemployment spells and marital status during the period from 1987 to 1996. Random effects probit and conditional likelihood logit models for panel data are applied. Using several control variables, it was confirmed that unemployment does actually lead to a higher probability of the separation of married couples.

    The Determinants of Foreign Direct Investments: Sensitivity Analyses of Cross-Country Regressions (2001)

    Notes: A vast empirical literature has used ad hoc linear cross-country regressions to search for the determinants of FDI. The literature is extensive and controversial. Can policy-makers use this body of research to learn anything that can help them stimulate FDI? The author uses Extreme Bound Analysis (EBA) to examine if any of the conclusions from the existing studies is robust to small changes in the conditioning information set. The EBA upholds the robustness of the correlation between FDI and market-size, as measured by per-capita GDP, but indicates that the relation between FDI and many of the controversial variables (namely, tax, wage, openness, exchange rate, tariff, growth, and trade balance)bare highly sensitive to small alterations in the conditioning information set. The author also studies the distribution of the estimated coefficients of the controversial explanatory variables to rank them in order of their likelihood of their being correlated with FDI.

    International Technology Diffusion: Evidence from Swedish Patent Data (2000)

    Notes: Using references in Swedish patent data, we examine technology sourcing in Swedish multi-national enterprises (MNEs) and non-multinational small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The results show that both types of firms are more likely to make references to countries with large patent stocks and to countries that are located close to Sweden. Trade and FDI also seem to facilitate the transfer of foreign technology to Sweden. However, trade contacts seem to be more important for technology sourcing in SMEs than in MNEs. Outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a channel for the diffusion of foreign technology to both home-country MNEs and SMEs.

    Civic Duty and Expressive Voting: Is Virtue its own Reward? (2000)

    Notes: Turnout at elections cannot be easily explained by reference to instrumental rationality. The probability that any individual voter will alter an electoral outcome is miniscule and the net expected utility from voting is likely to be negative. Instead, high rates of turnout are explained by the consumption gains arising from the act of voting. This paper distinguishes between utility derived from fulfilling a civic duty and utility derived from expressing a political preference. Both considerations affect turnout but a test of the determinants of the decision of whether to vote and the decision of how to vote reveals that perceptions of the importance of civic duty are important when deciding whether to vote. Differences in preference for the political parties, differences in perceptions of policy certainty and differences in the integrity attributed to representatives of political parties are important when explaining how individuals vote. The implication is that intrinsic motivation is important when individuals consider whether or not to vote and the utility from expressive voting is more relevant when explaining how individuals vote. It follows that it is possible to explain high turnout rates even when there are periods of ‘consensus politics’. Moreover, policy designed to maintain standards in public life should be framed to ‘crowd in’ intrinsiv motivation.

    Producers' Expectations: their Role in the Monetary Transmission Mechanism (2000)

    Notes: This article relates to the view expressed by Pigou and Keynes that whatever factors affect the demand for goods it is ultimately producers' expectations and plans that determine the level of output. We build on this notion in order to address the question how changes in monetary policy affect output in Switzerland. For this purpose we study data on expected and actual output collected by the business cycle research center(KOF) at the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich. The econometric analysis documents that monetary affect output only by their impact on expectations of entrepreneurs. This finding contradicts the new classical view of the propagation of monetary shocks.

    Income Inequality and Economic Growth (2000)

    Notes: We develop an analytical framework to investigate some plausible channels that income inequality affects economic growth. Our empirical study concludes that income inequality has significant negative effect on the rate of GDP growth. Among the channels suggested by recent literature, we find that the most important one is the transfer channel while the least important one is the human capital channel. However, the direct impact of income inequality on the rate of productivity growth accounts for more than 55 percent of its overall total effect. This indicates that the effects of income inequality on economic growth are much more complicated than what we have perceived or modeled.

    Notes: Starting from the proposition that the feudal political system functioned as a market for military security where no territorial monopolies and consequently no states in the modern sense of the word existed, state formation is here explained as the outcome of efforts to restrict competition in this market. The explanation draws on the theory of regulation which focuses on bargaining between interest groups and political authorities as the cause of the creation of entry barriers to markets. Which interest groups and authorities were concerned in late medieval and early modern state building is analyzed on the basis of three historical cases, two of which led to the creation of territorial monopolies of security while in one instance corresponding efforts failed.

    Kinds of Assumptions and Their Truth: Shaking an Untwisted F-Twist (2000)

    Notes: In an insightful article published in this journal, Alan Musgrave (1981) has argued that once we distinguish between three types of assumptions, Milton Friedman’s F-twist – according to which the truth of the assumptions of an economic theory is irrelevant to its acceptability – can be untwisted. It is shown that once we bring in more clarity on the formal identity of the different kinds of assumptions, Musgrave’s contribution can be further defined: distinctions can be drawn between detectability and negligibility assumptions, and between domain and acceptability assumptions; the suggested gap between as-if assumptions and other kinds can be removed; another type, that of joint neglibility assumption, can be introduced; the untwisting of the F-twist can be accepted in all cases except in the case of early-step (heuristic) assumptions; and the art of paraphrase is shown to constitute the basis for Musgrave’s strategy and to have limits.

    Europe and the USA: Comparing What with What? (2000)

    Notes: Recent divergencies in economic development have led to a growing literature comparing the US economy with (OECD-)Europe. The present article argues for a sceptical awareness of some limitations of these comparisons. By alternative groupings of countries the heterogeneous nature of European countries is underlined (limited to growth, inflation, and unemployment). This leads to the conclusion that to some extent comparisons between European nations or between the US and individual European nations could be valuable supplements to the generalizing US-Europe comparisons.

    Wage Expectations: A Comparison of Swiss and US Students (2000)

    Notes: Wage expectations can play a significant role in a variety of economic areas. This study analyses the wage expectations of students who are on the verge of making a decision concerning their educational path or who have already reached such a decision. Since each student in our study has been asked to discuss expectations in relation to various educational scenarios, this data can be used to check certain human capital theory assumptions. It is possible to ascertain the wage effects which students expect from certain educational decisions. Moreover it is possible to assess the expected rates of return on education without asking the students directly. The results of this study make it clear that both in the USA and in Switzerland the wage expectations of students do not differ significantly from the cross-sectional labor market data, despite considerable heterogeneity in some cases.

    Did the Tax Cuts Increase Hours of Work? A Statistical Analysis of a Natural Experiment (2000)

    Notes: Effects on hours worked of cuts in the Swedish income taxes are analyzed using longtitudinal data that cover periods before and after a major tax reform in 1991. The results show that working males probably changed their hours very little as a result of reduced marginal tax rates, while women increased their hours in the order of 10 percent. One can thus conclude that the tax reforms increased gender inequality in workhours. Most of this effect comes directly from the tax changes and not through a change in the after tax net wage, a result that is not explained by a conventional myopic labor supply model with a static budget set.
