Wage premiums and profit maximization in efficiency wage models
European Economic Review, 1993 Abstract The standard shirking model of efficiency wages is essentially a continuous-time, repeated prisoners' dilemma game. Thus, to sustain an equilibrium with employment requires sufficient gains from future co-operation. Each division of these gains corresponds to some equilibrium.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Tailored thermo‐mechanical properties of shape memory polymer composites enable large reversible deformation as well as high actuation speed. Moreover, a structural design with curvature in the transverse direction achieves sub‐second actuation on heating and a larger recovery ratio on cooling. Finally, these newly developed smart two‐way actuators can
