I de ne technology as strongly labor saving if technological advances reduce the marginal product of labor and as strongly labor complementary if they increase it. I show that labor scarcity encour...
متن کاملWhen does a correct mutual exclusion algorithm guarantee mutual exclusion?
Dijkstra introduced mutual exclusion for an N -process system as the requirement “that at any moment only one of these N cyclic processes is in its critical section” [1]. This requirement, which we call true mutual exclusion, is still the standard definition of mutual exclusion. Mutual exclusion algorithms for shared-memorymultiprocessors do not guarantee true mutual exclusion. We give a simple...

This paper quantifies the welfare impact of a permanent increase in the level of per capita income brought about by a temporary growth effect following financial liberalization. We find that a lion’s share of the welfare benefits from financial liberalization accrue over relatively short horizons, and in the early years after the policy is implemented. Evaluating welfare gains from liberalizati...
متن کاملCooperation under Scarcity: The Sharer's Dilemma
Many researchers have used game theory to study the problem of encouraging cooperation in peer-to-peer and mobile ad hoc networks, where resources are provided collectively by the users. Previous work has modelled the problem as either a multi-player social dilemma or a network of two-player prisoner’s dilemmas, but neither of these approaches captures a crucial aspect of the problem, namely sc...

Six hundred and eight students in the United States and People’s Republic of China participated in a laboratory experiment in which group norm and group identity were manipulated and the individual cultural orientations of idiocentri...
