The Grammar of Social Power: Power-to, Power-with, Power-despite and Power-over [PDF]
Political Studies, 2021 There are two rival conceptions of power in modern sociopolitical thought. According to one, all social power reduces to power-over-others. According to another, the core notion is power-to-effect-outcomes, to which even power-over reduces. This article defends seven theses.

I—Fundamental Powers, Evolved Powers, and Mental Powers [PDF]
Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume, 2018 Powers have in recent years become a central component of many philosophers' ontology of properties. While I have argued that powers exist at the fundamental level of properties, many other theorists of powers hold that there are also non-fundamental powers.

Political Power and Market Power
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2023 We study the link between political influence and industrial concentration. We present a joint model of political influence and market competition: an oligopoly lobbies the government over regulation, and competes in the product market shaped by this influence.

Power, stability of power, and creativity [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2011 Power hierarchies are an essential aspect of social organization, create stability and social order, and provide individuals with incentives to climb the hierarchical ladder. Extending previous work on power and creativity, we put forward that this relationship critically depends on both the stability of the power hierarchy and the relevance of ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2004 This paper argues that the efficiency distribution of players in a game determines how aggressively these players interact.We formalize the idea of balance of power: players fight very inefficient players but play softly versus equally (or more) efficient players.This theory of conduct predicts that entry by new firms leads to a less aggressive outcome

Economics Letters, 2010 How should firms react to customer complaints after an unsatisfactory purchase? In a field experiment, we test the effect of different reactions and find that a cheap-talk apology yields significantly better outcomes for the firm than offering a monetary compensation.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007 We study the importance of family ties on economic behavior. We define our measure of family ties using individual responses from the World Value Survey (WVS) regarding the role of the family and the love and respect that children are expected to have for their parents in 81 countries.

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1986 In this note we discuss recent progress concerning powerful numbers, raise new questions and show that solutions to existing open questions concerning powerful numbers would yield advancement of solutions to deep, long‐standing problems such as Fermat′s Last Theorem. This is primarily a survey article containing no new, unpublished results.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...
