Why We Boycott: Consumer Motivations for Boycott Participation

While boycotts are increasingly relevant for management decision-making, there has been little research of an individual’s motivation to boycott. We propose a conceptualization of boycotting and report a study of an actual boycott of a multinational firm that was prompted by factory closings. Consumers who viewed the closures as egregious were more likely to boycott the firm, though only a mino...

The stratified Boycott effect

We present the results of an experimental investigation of the flows generated by monodisperse particles settling at low Reynolds number in a stably stratified ambient with an inclined sidewall. In this configuration, upwelling beneath the inclined wall associated with the Boycott effect is opposed by the ambient density stratification. The evolution of the system is determined by the relative ...

Polarizations Brian

If A is an abelian variety over a field, then to give a projective embedding of A is more or less to give an ample line bundle on A. Over C, such data can be expressed in terms of a positive-definite Riemann form on the homology lattice. Hence, we consider ample line bundles on general abelian varieties to be a “positivity” structure. In a sense that will be explained, just as we view abelian v...
