Epistocracy and the Commitment Problem

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The epistocracy debate has turned largely on the character of the electorate—what voters know, whether competence filters can be designed well, and what filtered selection produces. Another strand has focused on the legitimacy of epistocratic justifications. I ask instead about the equilibrium effects of the institution.

Comparison of Risk Between Cropping Systems in Eastern Norway [PDF]

The aim of this study was to compare production and policy risk of organic, integrated and conventional cropping systems in Norway. Experimental cropping system data (1991-1999) from eastern Norway were combined with budgeted data.

Pascal's Hell

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Expected utility maximization with unbounded utilities implies that tiny probabilities of huge positive or negative payoffs can dominate overall expected‐utility calculations. In other words, it leads to fanaticism. Fanaticism is counterintuitive, as illustrated by cases such as Pascal's Mugging and the St. Petersburg paradox.

Social welfare effects of annuitization in small open economies

The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper develops a theory of when annuitization improves or reduces social welfare. The analysis is based on a small open economy with exogenous prices, populated by overlapping generations of non‐altruistic agents. Annuities provide longevity risk insurance and above‐market returns, but also reduce accidental bequests that transfer ...

The link between career risk aversion and unemployment duration: Evidence of nonlinear and time-depending pattern [PDF]

In this study, we investigate the nexus between career risk aversion and unemployment duration based on German survey data (GSOEP). Using a direct measurement of career risk aversion, we do not find a statistically significant linear effect from risk ...

Energetic microdomains and the vascular control of neuronal and muscle excitability: Toward a unified model

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability. (
