TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the conventional way of measuring the value of a statistical life yields a biased estimate, in general, and the major exception is the case where the estimate can be based on an infinitely short drop in the hazard rate.
Abstract: The value of preventing a fatality or (saving) a statistical life is an important question in health economics as well as environmental economics. This paper adds new insights to several of the issues discussed in the literature. It is shown that the conventional way of measuring the value of a statistical life yields a biased estimate, in general. The major exception is the case where the estimate can be based on an infinitely short drop in the hazard rate. This is so in both life cycle models with and without actuarially fair annuities. Moreover, the claim that there are strong theoretical reasons for believing that the value of statistical life declines with age is shown to be wrong.

TL;DR: In this article, the consequences of leniency for wrongdoers who spontaneously self-report to law enforcers on sequential, bilateral, illegal transactions, such as corruption, manager-auditor collusion, or drug deals, were studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined consumers' general in-store mobile phone use and shopping behavior, and found that mobile phone usage and actual phone use patterns both lead to increased purchases because consumers divert from their conventional shopping loop, spend more time in the store, and spend more attention examining products and prices on shelves.
Abstract: This research examines consumers’ general in-store mobile phone use and shopping behavior. Anecdotal evidence has suggested that mobile phone use decreases point-of-purchase sales, but the results of the current study indicate instead that it can increase purchases overall. Using eye-tracking technology in both a field study and a field experiment, matched with sales receipts and survey responses, the authors show that mobile phone use (vs. nonuse) and actual mobile phone use patterns both lead to increased purchases, because consumers divert from their conventional shopping loop, spend more time in the store, and spend more time examining products and prices on shelves. Building on attention capacity theories, this study proposes and demonstrates that the underlying mechanism for these effects is distraction. This article also provides some insights into boundary conditions of the mobile phone use effect.

TL;DR: Researchers have compared the recent availability of large-scale behavioral datasets, such as the ones generated by mobile phones, to the invention of the microscope, giving rise to the new field of computational social science.
Abstract: The breadcrumbs we leave behind when using our mobile phones—who somebody calls, for how long, and from where—contain unprecedented insights about us and our societies. Researchers have compared the recent availability of large-scale behavioral datasets, such as the ones generated by mobile phones, to the invention of the microscope, giving rise to the new field of computational social science.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that organizational decisions sometimes play one or more of three other roles: mobilizing organizational action, distributing responsibility or providing legitimacy, and the degree of rationality in decision processes tends to vary according to the roles adopted.
Abstract: Standard prescriptive theories of decision-making and the use of information for making decisions in organizations presume that decisions serve the purpose of choice. In this article it is argued that organizational decisions sometimes play one or more of three other roles: mobilizing organizational action, distributing responsibility or providing legitimacy. Different roles imply different designs of decision processes, different usages of information, different costs and different needs for making decisions at all. The degree of rationality in decision processes tends to vary according to the roles adopted. High degrees of rationality can be interpreted as attempts to prevent action, evade responsibility or support organizational legitimacy in a complex environment.
