Beggars as Rational Choosers

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT American municipalities increasingly regulate panhandling. That regulation is controversial. The determinants of panhandling activeness are unknown, and it is doubted whether panhandling activity responds rationally to incentives. To shed light on these issues, we collect data on hundreds of panhandlers and the passersby they solicit at ...

ABSTRACT Women are largely underrepresented in STEM careers associated with higher labor market returns. This gender gap is even more stark in a context where societal biases are prevalent and female role models are lacking. This paper investigates the impact of an affirmative action (AA) policy implemented in an elite educational institution in India ...

Modelling Future Scenarios for End‐of‐Life Battery Management of Electric Vehicles in São Paulo

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the escalating challenge of managing end‐of‐life (EOL) electric vehicle (EV) batteries within a circular economy framework, focusing on the city of São Paulo. Using system dynamics modelling, the research projects a fleet of approximately 11 million light‐duty EVs in São Paulo by 2045, generating an annual influx of 1.34 ...

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Systematic Learning and Pedagogy Through a Modular, Progressive‐Based Simulation Modeling Framework for Complex Systems

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart Transportation Systems (SmTS) will exceed complex systems with their classification as complex, sociotechnical, and AI‐based systems. Possessing a toolkit that helps systemically understand, analyze, and assess these systems will be advantageous in the early stages of the systems engineering (SE) lifecycle, and Agent Based Models (ABMs ...
