Asymmetric Policy Interaction among Subnational Governments: Do States Play Welfare Games?
This paper explores the possibility that states respond asymmetrically to increases versus decreases in their neighboring states’ welfare benefit levels. We present a theoretical model suggesting that states respond more to decreases than to increases in their neighbors’ benefit levels. To test this proposition empirically, we use a panel of annual state-level data from 1983 to 1994 for each of...
متن کاملGovernments should reduce prices before rationing care.
I welcome the Comment by Didier Raoult (Jan 9, p 104), which proposes the post-Darwinist concept of the evolutionary pathway as a rhizome instead of a tree, with inheritance occurring not only vertically but also laterally. He rightly addresses how the genomic revolution has forced us to reconsider the way we describe evolution. Perhaps one of the most important unresolved issues in the study o...

Governments are increasingly adopting behavioral science techniques for changing individual behavior in pursuit of policy objectives. The types of "nudge" interventions that governments are now adopting alter people's decisions without coercion or significant changes to economic incentives. We calculated ratios of impact to cost for nudge interventions and for traditional policy tools, such as ...
متن کاملShould Governments Compete for Foreign Direct Investment?*
We study two governments, each considering whether or not to compete to attract a foreign monopoly Þrm into its own domestic market. The competition, should it occur, would involve offering incentives to the Þrm. The incentives, which are costly for the governments to provide, lower the Þrms marginal cost of production. Faced with the offers from each country, the Þrm must choose one of four o...
متن کاملThe Games Economists Play
It is a source of confusion that economists for decades have worked on ‘game theory’ while studying economic behaviour. However, while not focused on games in the recreational sense this perspective does provide a highly meticulous complementary framework for the understanding of computer game structure and player behaviour. This article attempts to extract useful analytic concepts and insights...
