Home Production and Gender Gap in Structural Change
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The gender gap in non‐agricultural employment in developing countries is concentrated among rural married workers. Within‐family specialization is central: Married women spend more time on home production, work fewer market hours, and are less likely to incur fixed costs of entering non‐agriculture.

Linking the Comparison and Graphical Approaches to Bipartite Matching
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Bipartite record linkage has the goal of identifying observations referring to the same individual, called coreferent observations, across two distinct non‐duplicated datasets. The two main approaches to solve this task are the Fellegi–Sunter model, which relies on pairwise comparisons of observations, and the graphical record linkage model ...

Separating the Costs and Benefits of Employee Turnover: A Theory‐Driven Method and Applications
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Employee turnover is costly, but it may also benefit performance through improving job‐worker match quality. Existing studies estimate only the net turnover‐performance relationship, ignoring benefits and biasing cost estimates. We develop a theory‐driven method that separately identifies operational costs and match‐quality benefits of ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Nutrient enrichment can alter the nutritional quality of the epilithic algal matrix (EAM) and modify the feeding environment of herbivorous and detritivorous reef fishes. However, wastewater inputs can also elevate ammonia concentrations, which may disrupt fish physiological processes, yet the effects of ammonia exposure on grazing activity ...

Precautionary Saving against Correlation under Risk and Ambiguitya
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract This paper considers precautionary saving against the correlation between two risky attributes (wealth and health) and investigates how the correlation affects optimal savings under multivariate preferences. The signs of higher‐order cross‐derivatives play a key role in determining the direction of precautionary saving against such correlation.

The Evolution of Interest‐Rate Models: From the Yield Curve to the Swaption Cube
Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interest‐rate modelling is often taught as a catalogue of competing stochastic equations, obscuring why models were created and why modern sell‐side desks use several simultaneously. This survey reorganises the field around five layers of a pricing architecture: curve construction; arbitrage‐free dynamics; volatility‐smile representation ...

Privatization Under Political Ties
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I study a product differentiation model with endogenous entry where a politically connected public firm competes with a private one. Consumers are heterogeneous in their willingness to pay. I argue that—because of political ties—the public firm may mimic the preferences of the consumer with the median willingness to pay.

The Incentive Virtues of Performance‐Based Trade Allowances and Loss Leading
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A retailer can boost demand for a manufacturer's product through non‐verifiable activities. Performance‐based trade allowances—rebates conditional on the retailer's successful sales efforts—help mitigate this moral hazard problem. In equilibrium, the wholesale contract includes a retail price set below cost, complemented by a rebate for ...

Multiplicatively hyperbolic type convex functions and some related integral inequalities
FilomatIn this work, we introduced and explored the concept of multiplicatively hyperbolic type convex functions, examining several of their fundamental algebraic properties. We established Hermite-Hadamard (HH) inequalities for this newly defined class of functions and further derived novel HH type inequali-ties for both the product and quotient of ...
