The first, coauthored, chapter studies the efficiency of invoking individuals’ social preferences to increase vaccination intentions. We present results from a laboratory experiment which show that the presence of a passive player, whose well-being depends on active participants, creates a four- to ninefold increase in vaccine uptake. We interpret these results as suggestive of that social-preference focused public health campaigns may be more successful in raising vaccination rates than corrective information ones.
The second chapter examines the effect of the marital property regime on marital investments and outcomes. I model marriage as a relationship under contractual incompleteness and estimate the causal effect of the marital property regime on fertility, female labour supply, marriage and divorce, using the regional variation in default marital property systems in Spain and the 2005 divorce reform. I find substantial differences in female labour force participation, fertility, and marriage rate between property systems depending on the degree of integration, which is in line with the predictions of property rights theory.
The third chapter investigates whether marital contracts are useful because they enhance the value of a continued marriage or because they help deconstruct the relationship in case of separation or divorce. Using a novel, high-quality dataset on marital contracts I digitized from the records of Spanish notaries and a reform of Catalan civil law, I find strong evidence for the latter: marital contracts are valuable only if they can refer to the breakdown of the marriage

Altruism and vaccination intentions:Evidence from behavioral experiments
Get PDFVaccine hesitancy has been on the rise throughout the past two decades, especially in high income countries where existing pro-vaccination public health communication strategies have proven ineffective. We argue that appealing to other-regarding preferences is one way of improving the effectiveness of public health communication strategies. To test this argument, we assess how vaccination intentions are influenced by the presence of people who cannot vaccinate, such as the immunosuppressed, newborns or pregnant women, using a laboratory experiment where there is a passive player whose welfare depends on the decisions of other, active players. Results suggest that pro-vaccine messages targeting altruism can increase vaccination intentions by: (i) invoking past experiences of dependence and vulnerability; (ii) stressing cooperation as a social norm; and (iii) emphasizing the presence of vulnerable individuals in a given society.</p

No full textZvonimir Bajsić as a radio feature author
No full textOvaj rad se bavi Zvonimirom Bajsićem kao autorom dokumentarnih radiodrama. Premda se radi o začetniku dokumentarne radiodrame u Hrvatskoj, u široj javnosti je ipak nepoznat. Cilj rada je stoga bio istražiti i vrednovati opus njegovih dokumentarnih radiodrama kako bi se naglasio njegov značaj u povijesti toga žanra u Hrvatskoj. Tijekom izrade rada provedena je kvalitativna i kvantitativna analiza svih četrnaest dokumentarnih radiodrama kojima je Bajsić autor. Rezultati analize pokazali su kako je Bajsić u svojim dokumentarnim radiodramama više koristio dokumentarne govorne tonove nego dramske govorne tonove te da su dramski govorni tonovi u njegovim dokumentarnim radiodramama u službi dokumentarizma. Kao međunarodno nagrađivani autor, osim što je afirmirao žanr u domovini i svijetu, Bajsić je svojim dokumentarnim radiodramama pokazao kako se u hrvatskim okvirima dokumentarna radiodrama razvila iz radiodrame te da je riječ o radiofonskom ostvarenju koje ima umjetnički karakter. Zbog svega navedenog Zvonimir Bajsić zauzima istaknuto mjesto u hrvatskoj povijesti radiofonije te kao autor dokumentarnih radiodrama ostaje trajni uzor dobre prakse.The topic of this paper is Zvonimir Bajsić as a radio feature author. Although he was the first author of radio features in Croatia, he is not well known to the wider public. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to investigate and evaluate his opus of radio features in order to emphasize his importance in the history of this genre in Croatia. As a part of this paper, a qualitative and quantitative analysis of all of his fourteen radio features has been made. The results showed that Bajsić used documentary speech in his radio features more then drama speech and that drama speech was used in the service of documentarism. As an internationally acknowledged author, besides affirming this genre at home and abroad, with his radio features Bajsić showed how, in the Croatian context, radio features evolved from radiodrama and exist as an artistic radiophonic piece. Considering everything noted, Zvonimir Bajsić has a prominent place in Croatian radiophonic history and as an author of radio features he continues to be a role model of a good practice
