What is the status of claims about effects minimum wage laws? Empirical or praxeological? We claim latter. How can effect such legislation be best analyzed under assumption mis-behaving supply (backward bending) and demand (positively sloped, based on positing Giffen goods) curves?

We describe a technique to identify the exact portion of a user’s query that may not be answered by the set of available information agents. This is achieved by reasoning over the advertisements of the agents rela...

Therefore, in the present study a...

We explore heat-related labor impacts both for their own interest and to understand the role of adaptation in responding to climate change. Focusing on non-agricultural sectors in the United States, we find that hot temperatures exert a causal negative impact on county-level payroll – reducing payroll by several percentage points in a 2◦C hotter year – with larger impacts in highly exposed indu...
