In 4 experiments, implicit and explicit memory for words and nonwords were compared. In Experiments 1-2 memory for words and legal nonwords (e.g., kers) was assessed with an identification (implicit) and a recognition (explicit) memory task: Robust priming was obtained for both words and nonwords, and the priming effects dissociated from explicit memory following a levels-of-processing manipula...

A complex relationship exists between illegal behavior and pathological gambling, and this relationship has significant implications in both the legal and clinical domains. Despite the importance of this relationship, relatively little research has examined illegal behavior in pathological gambling, particularly within a current gambling climate that has seen dramatic expansion over recent year...

In this paper we study boolean game with prioritized norms. Norms distinguish illegal strategies from legal strategies. Notions like legal strategy and legal Nash equilibrium are introduced. Our formal model is a combination of (weighted) boolean game and so called (prioritized) input/output logic. After formally presenting the model, we use examples to show that non-optimal Nash equilibrium ca...

In the present paper we overlay boolean game with norms. Norms distinguish illegal strategies from legal strategies. Two types of legal strategy and legal Nash equilibrium are defined. These two equilibrium are viewed as solution concepts for law abiding agents in norm augmented boolean games. Our formal model is a combination of boolean games and so called input/output logic. We study various ...

Trafficking in humans for sexual exploitation is an economic activity driven by profit motives. Laws regarding commercial sex influence the profitability of trafficking. Using cross country data we show that trafficking of persons for commercial sexual exploitation is least prevalent in countries where prostitution is illegal, most prevalent in countries where prostitution is legalized, and in ...

U.S. farmworkers are paid on a piecerate or timerate basis. This paper studies relationships between wage contracts, legal status, and poverty using a representative survey of employed farmworkers which includes detailed information on legal status, including whether a worker is illegal. Results indicate that while piecerate workers earn more per hour on average, they work fewer hours and face ...
