Ideology, “shirking”, and representation
Public Choice, 1993In theory, republican government arises from the fact that the citizens are too numerous to be gathered in one place to make decisions.

Political Research Quarterly, 2007
While Lawrence's analysis highlights the importance of considering outliers, it neither disconfirms the original Rothenberg and Sanders analysis of shirking on the impeachment vote nor findings of shirking generally. Indeed, when a systematic analysis of outliers is conducted for Republican voting on the Clinton impeachment, shirking results again ...

Absenteeism, Efficiency Wages and Shirking
The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1994We investigate the absence behaviour of workers when there is asymmetric information regarding worker health. An individual's health is assumed to be private information to that individual and only observable to a third party at cost.

Financing Capacity with Stealing and Shirking
Management Science, 2019We study a firm’s capacity choice under demand uncertainty given that it must finance this investment externally. Sharing profits with investors causes governance problems affecting both capacity and demand: the firm may “steal” capital, which reduces effective capacity, and “shirk” on market development, which reduces demand.

FORE! An Analysis of CEO Shirking
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014Using golf play as a measure of leisure, we provide direct evidence that some CEOs shirk their responsibilities to the detriment of firm shareholders.

Ideology, voting, and shirking
Public Choice, 1993Since we first raised the issue in 1979, scholars have addressed two questions regarding ideology and congressional voting. Does ideology have an impact on such voting? Do representa- tives shirk by voting their own ideology rather than their constituents' interests?

IDEOLOGY AND LEGISLATOR SHIRKING
Economic Inquiry, 1987We argue that legislator shirking (voting on the basis of personal ideology rather than the interests of one's constituents) can exist, but its appearance should conform to the law of demand. We test and confirm this theory using votes on defense expenditure bills in the U.S. Senate in 1982.
