Economic Rationality under Uncertainty
Though uncertainty pervades all aspects of life and human action, it has a rather short history in economics. Surprisingly, Daniel Bernoulli’s (1738) notion of expected utility, which suggests that (in games of chance) monetary risky ventures ought to be evaluated by the sum of utilities of outcomes weighted by the corresponding probabilities, was not immediately used in economic theory. Indeed...
متن کاملWho Are China ’ s Entrepreneurs ?
It has been increasingly recognized that entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in successful economies. The Schumpeterian approach to growth (Aghion and Howitt, 1997) advances the view that entrepreneurial dynamism is the key to innovation and growth. A growing body of policy work emphasizes the important role of entrepreneurs in economic development (World Bank, 2003). Yet, research on entrepr...
متن کاملEntrepreneurs and Social Capital in China
Does social capital operate differently in China? A long and vibrant literature on the concept of guanxi suggests not only that social capital might have a different character in China but also that it might prove more valuable there to employees and entrepreneurs alike. Drawing on unusually high quality data on Chinese executives, Burt and Burzynska (2017) explore the question of whether the s...

متن کاملDiscrete Public Goods under Threshold Uncertainty: Theory and Experiment
A discrete public good is provided when total contributions exceed the contribution threshold. I show that for a large class of threshold probability distributions, an increase in threshold uncertainty by 2nd-order stochastic dominance will increase (decrease) equilibrium contributions when the public good value is su ciently high (low). In an experiment designed to test these predictions, beha...
