OBJECTIVE Nonexperimental survey and field research support the notion that alcohol use may be associated with deliberate self-harm (DSH) across the spectrum of lethality, from nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) through suicide. Nonexperimental studies, however, provide limited information about potential causal relationships between alcohol consumption and DSH. Two previous experiments showed that...

The Israeli Kibbutzes, which are voluntary communities based on income equality, are puzzling since they might unravel due to moral hazard and adverse selection.

The main int...

Preface I completed my dissertation in 1991, and this CSLI edition presents that work essentially unchanged.
