Reasons, rationality, and opaque sweetening: Hare's “No Reason” argument for taking the sugar

Noûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Caspar Hare presents a compelling argument for “taking the sugar” in cases of opaque sweetening: you have no reason to take the unsweetened option, and you have some reason to take the sweetened one. I argue that this argument fails—there is a perfectly good sense in which you do have a reason to take the unsweetened option. I suggest a way to

Fully Modified GLS Estimation for Seemingly Unrelated Cointegrating Polynomial Regressions

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A new feasible generalized least squares estimator is proposed. Our estimator incorporates (1) the inverse autocovariance matrix of multidimensional errors, and (2) second‐order bias corrections. The resulting estimator has the intuitive interpretation of applying a weighted least squares objective function to filtered data series.

Performance Rewards and Job Satisfaction in More and Less Developed Countries: Multi‐Level Evidence From Bureaucrats in 10 Countries

Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Do the same management practices lead to greater job satisfaction in poorer and richer countries? Despite the centrality of this question, prior research has not statistically assessed it through multi‐country studies. We address this omission for one quintessential OECD country management reform: linking rewards—pay and promotion—to ...
