Building and Defining Behavioral Economics
No full textContains fulltext :
95156.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access)George Loewenstein, a prominent behavioral economist, recalls thatIn 1994, when Thaler, Camerer, Rabin, Prelec and I spent the year at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, we had a meeting to make a kind of final decision about what to call what we were doing. Remarkably, at that time, the name behavioral economics was not yet well established. I actually advocated “psychological economics,” and Thaler was strong on behavioral economics. I'm kind of glad that he prevailed; I think it's a better, catchier, label, although it creates confusion due to association with Behaviorism. (G. Loewenstein, personal email to author, June 16, 2008
Working with pluralism: determining quality in qualitative research
No full textThis Feature Topic contains four articles that address the determination of quality in qualitative research by exploring the use of criteria from the perspective of reviewers, editors, and/ or authors. In this introductory article, the authors assert that these explorations represent an important move away from employing listings of static criteria to adjudicate and develop qualitative research. In its place, we see the making of quality as situated in methodological pluralism that occurs both in comparison with quantitative research and also within qualitative research. This fact complicates and enriches the task of determining quality and also suggests ways forward for the academic community

The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
No full textAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering
Re-assessing the relationship between religion and juvenile delinquency
No full textUsing data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the research examines the nature of the relationship between religion and juvenile delinquency. The research reveals that individual-level religiosity negatively relates to individual-level delinquency. The current study indicates that there is a significant correlation between religiosity and delinquency. The omnibus concept of religiosity was significantly related to delinquency along with the individual measures. This research provides support for the idea that religion is a multifaceted concept with many dimensions that should be examined as an index and separately. Also, while studies have varied in their estimation of the types of delinquent offenses that are reduced by religion (Baier and Wright 2001; Desmond, Soper, Purpura, and Smith 2009; Cochran Wood and Arneklev 1994; Rodell and Benda 1999), the current research maintains that religiosity affects a wide variety of delinquency including truant, property and violent offenses. In addition, the research indicates found that family bonds, friends and contextual variables do not diminish the inverse relationship between religiosity and delinquency. Finally, religiosity reduced delinquency in both Wave I and Wave II indicating that religiosity influences delinquent behavior over time.Ph.

2011 Census papers: income
No full textAbstractThis paper uses data from the 2006 and 2011 Censuses to analyse the distribution of income within the Indigenous population and to make comparisons with the non-Indigenous population. The results from the analysis are mixed. On the one hand, after taking into account inflation, average disposable income for the Indigenous population went up from 488 per week in 2011. While this is a positive development in terms of access to economic resources for the Indigenous population, the ratio of Indigenous to non-Indigenous average income stayed more or less the same over the period, from 0.703 in 2006 to 0.699 in 2011. In a time of relatively stable rates of government transfer payments and more rapid gains in employment related income, the gap with the non-Indigenous population is relatively stable. However, without the gains in mainstream employment for the Indigenous population documented previously, this gap is likely to have risen even further. Another major finding from the paper is that there is as much variation within the Indigenous population as there is between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous population. Despite this variation, for almost every demographic, geographic, education and employment combination, Indigenous Australians have a lower average income than their non-Indigenous counterparts. The only major exception to this is Indigenous females with a degree, who had a slightly higher average income than non-Indigenous females with a degree. Correction, 31 JulyAfter publication of Census Paper 11 there was an error identified in data downloaded from the ABS website. A revised version of the paper has now been uploaded which incorporates the corrected data. The effect of the change has been a slightly higher estimated increase in Indigenous personable disposable income and a much smaller widening in the gap between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations.
