The determination of what is said and what is implied
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Is what is said determined by syntax, conventional meaning, and select aspects of context?

Distinct Surcharge Effects in Taxi Markets: Evidence From New York City Yellow Cabs
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how alternative surcharge designs affect market outcomes in the New York City (NYC) Yellow Cab system.

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a new model of revenue‐maximising lottery pricing under income‐related heterogeneity and apply it to 13 years of UK National Lottery data. Our pricing rule shows how a state's lottery power is shaped by heterogeneities in lotto demand and the income distribution, and we study its efficiency and distributional implications.
