Are Efficiency Wages Efficient? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Efficiency wage models have been criticized because worker malfeasance can be prevented in a pareto efficient manner by requiring workers to post a bond which they lose if they are caught cheating. However, since it is costly to monitor workers and costless to demand a larger bond, firms should pay nothing for monitoring and demand very large bonds ...

The Efficiency of Equity [PDF]

open access: yesReview of Political Economy, 2008
Abstract In standard neoclassical economics, efficiency and equity issues are largely treated as separate and separable issues. While this has been challenged within and outside the neoclassical tradition for some time, this paper argues that four recent strands of literature largely within the neoclassical tradition provide a solid empirical ...

Increasing the efficiency of study selection for systematic reviews using prioritization tools and a single-screening approach

open access: yesSystematic Reviews, 2023
Background Systematic literature screening is a key component in systematic reviews. However, this approach is resource intensive as generally two persons independently of each other (double screening) screen a vast number of search results.

Resource Efficiency: A New Paradigm on Energy Efficiency and Spectral Efficiency Tradeoff [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, 2014
Spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) are the main metrics for designing wireless networks. Rather than focusing on either SE or EE separately, recent works have focused on the relationship between EE and SE and provided good insight into the joint EE-SE tradeoff.
