Employee Adjustment Costs and Asymmetric Cost Behavior

The Academic Society of Global Business Administration, 2022
The managerial accounting literature suggests that adjustment costs lead to asymmetric cost behavior. Previous studies show that labor adjustment costs are the significant factor that drives asymmetric cost behavior. However, empirical proxies for labor adjustments costs have several limitations. This study suggests that CEO-to-worker pay disparity and

A Behavioral Foundation for Audience Costs

Quarterly Journal of Political Science, 2019
We provide a behavioral foundation for audience costs by augmenting the canonical crisis bargaining model with voters who evaluate material outcomes relative to an endogenous reference point. Voters are more likely to re-elect their leader when their payoff is higher than this reference point, and they are more likely to replace him when it is lower ...

The cost behavior of software defects

Decision Support Systems, 2004
The current research attempts to update our knowledge of the way in which defects and the expense of correcting them (or alternatively, leaving them uncorrected) influences the final cost of software. Current industry models are based on data gathered decades ago, which has raised the question of their applicability in a world of modular, graphically ...

Nonconvex Costs and the Behavior of Inventories

Journal of Political Economy, 1991
This paper explores one possible explanation for the apparent excess volatility of production relative to sales: nonconvexities in the technology facing firms. It is shown that if firms operate in a region of declining marginal costs, then small shifts in demand can cause production to jump substantially.
