Food waste, date labels, and risk preferences: An experimental exploration
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract This study provides theoretical and experimental evidence that consumers adjust their premeditated food waste by date labels and their risk and loss preferences. The “Use by” date label leads to more premeditated food waste than “Best by” for deli meat and spaghetti sauce.

A New Approach to Personal Income Distribution [PDF]
arXiv, 2002 The results of R^2 dynamical random surface model (2-dimensional quantum gravity with a $R^2$ term) are applied to explain the personal income distribution. A scale invariance exists if there is not the $R^2$ term in the action. The R^2 term provides a typical scale and breaks the scale invariance explicitly in the low and middle income range.

Stringency and dissimilarity of Maximum Residue Levels affect bilateral agri‐food trade stability
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract Food standards are rising in both prevalence and stringency. They protect consumers and may enhance demand stability but also pose compliance challenges to producers, with ambiguous effects on the stability of trade relationships. We analyze the impact of importers' Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) along with bilateral MRL dissimilarity between ...

Mechanical Model of Personal Income Distribution [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 A microeconomic model is developed, which accurately predicts the shape of personal income distribution (PID) in the United States and the evolution of the shape over time. The underlying concept is borrowed from geo-mechanics and thus can be considered as mechanics of income distribution.
