Estimation of Genetic Variance and Breeding Values for Infectious Disease Susceptibility From Simulated Longitudinal Data Using Generalized Linear Mixed Models Based on Transmission Dynamics

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent theoretical work shows that the potential of genetic selection to reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases is much larger than expected from classical quantitative genetic theory, due to indirect genetic effects that arise in the transmission process. However, to fully benefit from these indirect effects, we need to estimate genetic

Genetic Parameters and Sex‐Specific Architecture of Observed and Latent Fertility Phenotypes in a Closed Breeding Nucleus of an Arctic Salmonid

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Successful reproduction is a key factor for efficient breeding schemes and sustainable animal farming. Aquaculture breeding programs rely heavily on small fractions of selected breeders to yield large production stocks, given the high fecundity typically observed in these species. In Sweden, Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is a salmonid with

Incentive and Signaling Effects of Bonus Payments: An Experiment in a Company

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economists and management scholars have argued that the scope of incentives to increase cooperation in organizations is limited as their use may signal the prevalence of free‐riding among employees. This paper tests this hypothesis with an artefactual field experiment that assigns managers and employees from a large company to stylized roles ...

Evidence Gathering Under Competitive and Noncompetitive Rewards

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reward schemes may affect not only agents' effort but also their incentives to gather information in order to reduce the riskiness of the productive activity. In a laboratory experiment using a novel task, we find that the relationship between incentives and evidence gathering depends critically on the availability of information about peers ...
