Download or read book Reciprocity and Public Opposition to Foreign Direct Investment written by Adam Chilton and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior International Political Economy (IPE) public opinion research has primarily examined how economic and socio-cultural factors shape individuals' views on the flows of goods, people, and capital. What has largely been ignored is whether individuals also care about rewarding or punishing foreign countries for their policies on these subjects. To test this possibility, we administered a series of conjoint and traditional survey experiments in the United States and China that examined how reciprocity influences opposition to foreign acquisitions of domestic companies. We find that reciprocity is an important determinant of public opinion on the regulation of foreign investments. This suggests the need to consider the policies that other countries adopt when trying to explain public attitudes towards global economic integration.
Download or read book Trust and Reciprocity in the Investment Gamewith Indirect Reward written by Werner Güth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental studies have shown that trust and reciprocity are effective in increasing efficiency when complete contracting is infeasible. One example is the study by Berg et al. (1995) of the investment game. In this game the person who receives the investment is the one who may reward the investor. This is a direct reward game. Similar to Dufwenberg et al. (2000) it is investigated to what extent trust and reward are still observable when reward is indirect; i.e., when the investor may only be rewarded by a third person who did not receive his investment. Furthermore we investigate the influence of social comparison (information about other players' investments). Our main finding is that mainly indirect reward reduces significantly mutual cooperation.
Download or read book Reciprocity in the Third Millennium written by Derek Queisser de Stockalper and published by Éditions Slatkine. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental and interesting approach of the structure of the economic evolution and the impact of money on people's behavior What do shells, 3 tons stones, paper, gold and digital bits have in common? They all are, have been or will be currencies. What does money, debt or a gift have in common? They are all, explicitly or implicitly, a form of credit. What do families, communities and economic entities have in common? They are all based upon some type of natural or coercive trust. Since antiquity money has played a central role in the way socio-economic agents organise themselves. These so-called Monetary mechanisms have not only impacted economic institutions, but also – over the ages - retooled entire Societies’ value systems. Book I proposes a new 13-dimensions framework of reference to help the reader define precisely some of the key economic and social challenges our modern Societies face at the start of the third millennium. For example, what will be the impact of rapid technological change on our social and economic structures and relationships? Has money evolved from being a tool to facilitate resource exchanges to becoming the goal of economic exchanges? Or, can a post-2008 crisis financial system still facilitate the balanced and sustainable evolution of our modern Societies? In this first volume, Derek Queisser de Stockalper gives some clues to understand how the evolution of the economic systems is impacting our lives.

Download or read book Reciprocity and the Regulatory Function of International Investment Law written by Julian Davis Mortenson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jason Yackee has proposed two important, attractive, and politically plausible reforms to the international investment law system: (i) a "notice and comment" style procedure to allow states to comment on draft tribunal awards before they are issued, and (ii) a "legislative veto" procedure by which state constituents could annul the legal or precedential value of tribunal decision. This response critiques Yackee's administrative agency analogy and argues that we are more likely to find profitable institutional insights from multijurisdictional common law tort systems. But it endorses his proposals on alternative theoretical grounds and argues that they offer an attractive response to the slow-burn crisis of legitimacy that has dogged the regime for more than a decade.
Download or read book Worker Reciprocity and Employer Investment in Training written by Edwin Leuven and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standard economic theory predicts that firms will not invest in general training and will underinvest in specific training. Empirical evidence indicates, however, that firms do invest in general training of their workers and also points to no underinvestment in specific training. We propose a simple model in which a firm invests the socially optimal amounts in general and specific training if the worker is sufficiently motivated by reciprocity. A reciprocal worker may be willing to give the firm the full return on its investment. We present empirical evidence that is strongly supportive for the proposed mechanism. Workers with a high sensitivity to reciprocity have 15 percent higher training rates than workers with a low sensitivity to reciprocity.

Download or read book The Evolution of Cooperation written by Robert Axelrod and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A famed political scientist's classic argument for a more cooperative world We assume that, in a world ruled by natural selection, selfishness pays. So why cooperate? In The Evolution of Cooperation, political scientist Robert Axelrod seeks to answer this question. In 1980, he organized the famed Computer Prisoners Dilemma Tournament, which sought to find the optimal strategy for survival in a particular game. Over and over, the simplest strategy, a cooperative program called Tit for Tat, shut out the competition. In other words, cooperation, not unfettered competition, turns out to be our best chance for survival. A vital book for leaders and decision makers, The Evolution of Cooperation reveals how cooperative principles help us think better about everything from military strategy, to political elections, to family dynamics.
Download or read book Worker Reciprocity and the Returns to Training written by Jan Sauermann and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workers' reciprocal behavior is one argument used to explain why firms invest in employee human capital. We explore the relation between firm-sponsored training and reciprocity by providing evidence that workers reciprocate employer training investments by making greater effort. Using a field experiment with random assignment to a training program, we show that reciprocal workers have significantly higher performance than their non-reciprocal peers after participation in the training course. This result suggests that reciprocal workers exert greater effort in response to the firm's investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did we make reliable predictions before Pascal and Fermat's discovery of the mathematics of probability in 1654? What methods in law, science, commerce, philosophy, and logic helped us to get at the truth in cases where certainty was not attainable? In The Science of Conjecture, James Franklin examines how judges, witch inquisitors, and juries evaluated evidence; how scientists weighed reasons for and against scientific theories; and how merchants counted shipwrecks to determine insurance rates. The Science of Conjecture provides a history of rational methods of dealing with uncertainty and explores the coming to consciousness of the human understanding of risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If negotiations on trade in services at the World Trade Organization are to advance liberalization beyond levels undertaken unilaterally and lead to more balanced outcomes, reciprocity must play a greater role in negotiations. This may be facilitated by the use of negotiating rules that establish credible links across sectors and modes of delivery.Negotiations on trade in services at the World Trade Organization (WTO) have so far produced little liberalization beyond levels countries have undertaken unilaterally. One reason: limited application of the traditional negotiating principle of reciprocity.In particular, participants have failed to exploit the scope of the services agreement (GATS) for the exchange of market-access concessions across different modes of supply - cross-border delivery and the movement of capital and workers.Using the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek framework, Mattoo and Olarreaga propose a negotiating formula that generalizes the fundamental WTO principle of reciprocity to include alternative modes of delivery.Adoption of this formula as a basis for negotiations could bring greater commitments to liberalization on all modes of delivery, producing substantial gains in global welfare and more balanced outcomes.This paper - a product of Trade, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to improve trade policy in goods and services.
