This paper considers the extent to which responses to time trade-off (TTO) questions can provide unbiased estimates of ratios of individual marginal rates of substitution (MRS) of wealth for risk of various health state impairments relative to the corresponding MRS for risk of death. It is shown that if there is reallocation of lifetime consumption and/or discounting of future utilities, then a...

This paper examines productivity growth in the Indonesian manufacturing sector. We use a longitudinal data set to calculate the effects on aggregate manufacturing productivity growth from improvements within establishments, from reallocation of market shares, and from the turnover of plants.

Agents engage in dialogues with other agents in order to obtain resources they need but do not have. Dialogues are regulated by simple communication policies that allow agents to provide reasons (arguments) for their...
