Economics Letters, 1991
Abstract We study speculative behavior in a stochastic overlapping-generations model and we show how the link between the existence of bubbles and dynamic inefficiency, which has been established for the deterministic case, is broken when risk-related factors, such as risk premia and capital gains, are explicitly taken into account.

In this paper, we suggest that inefficiency may be an indirect, on-the-job compensation to agents in an organization. We show how to use actual production data to reveal the trade-offs between different inefficiencies (slacks). Moreover, we discuss how to use this to improve productivity analysis as well as decision making and incentive provisions in ...

Social Theory and Practice
Theories such as effective altruism contend that people are morally obligated to give to charitable organizations that will efficiently do the most net good. The assumption is that aiding people who are most in need will create the most good; yet, it may be more inefficient to reach those most in need.
