متن کاملDecision-making in variable environments-- a case of group selection and inter-generational conflict?
Suppose organisms need to engage in a particular action exactly once during some fixed period of time. Further suppose they can time this action to optimise their fitness based on the expected current payoff and the probability distribution of later payoffs. For an example we consider the timing of the annual nuptial flight in eusocial insects. Using two population genetics models, we ask wheth...
متن کاملPricing Decisions during Inter-generational Product Transition
How should companies price products during an inter-generational transition? High uncertainty in a new product introduction often leads to extreme cases of demand and supply mismatches. Pricing is an effective tool to either prevent or alleviate these problems. We study the optimal pricing decisions in the context of a product transition in which a new-generation product replaces an old one. We...
متن کاملInter-Jurisdictional Competition for Firms
Regions inhabited with an immobile population of disabled and able individuals compete to attract mobile firms that provide jobs. The redistributive goal of regional governments is to support the disabled, who cannot work. Able individuals may work, be involuntary unemployed because of frictions in the labour market, or choose to be voluntary unemployed. Labour force participation decisions dep...
متن کاملInter - Generational and Spatial Equity Issues of Carbon Accounts
We analyze the different regional and generational contributions to increases of C02 concentrations resulting from fossil-fuel use since the onset of the industrial revolution. Equitable future per capita emission allowances under a range of concentration stabilization scenarios (additional 140, 280, and 420 ppm over pre-industrial levels) by the year 2100 are outlined. The intraand inter-gener...
