TL;DR: The authors explored two commonly used methods to elicit an individual's willingness to pay (WTP) for a public good in contingent valuation studies, i.e., take-it-or-leave or discrete valuation question (DVQ), where the respondent accepts or rejects a suggested cost for the good.
Abstract: This paper explores two commonly used methods to elicit an individual's willingness to pay (WTP) for a public good in contingent valuation studies. Currently, the most preferred method is the “take-it-or-leave” valuation question, or discrete valuation question (DVQ), where the respondent accepts or rejects a suggested cost for the good. The traditional method, the continuous valuation question (CVQ), simply asks an individual to state his WTP for the suggested change in the provision of a public good like cleaner air. We introduce a simple way to compare the results from these two methods. We also test the anchoring behavior suggested in the psychological literature on choice under uncertainty. The results do not support the anchoring hypothesis, but suggest the hypothesis that people perceive the two tested valuation questions differently.

TL;DR: The implications of the lean enterprise framework for the smaller firm can be summarized in three basic ideas as mentioned in this paper : building a larger and more comprehensive offer through partnerships, which has a potential to offer comparatively significant advantages.
Abstract: Addresses the question of whether the lean enterprise concept is applicable to small and medium‐sized firms. The implications of the lean enterprise framework for the smaller firm can be summarized in three basic ideas. First, building a larger and more comprehensive offer through partnerships, which has a potential to offer comparatively significant advantages. Second, building unique competence through collaboration with smaller and focused businesses. Third, avoiding large geographical distances when collaborating in more advanced knowledge areas and paying attention to the amount of corporate management capacity that can be occupied by global networking issues.

TL;DR: This paper used demographic variation in savings to show that a large fraction of seniors has a positive effect on the local volume of bank deposits and local loan supply, suggesting that a benefit of deregulation is improved geographical capital allocation.
Abstract: Is the US capital market segmented geographically? If so, does segmentation affect economic outcomes? This paper attempts to answer these questions using demographic variation in savings. A large fraction of seniors has a positive effect on the local volume of bank deposits and local loan supply. Using the fraction of seniors as an instrument I show that the supply of deposits has a strong positive effect on local economic outcomes. The results are robust to variation in the definition of local market, and to the inclusion of controls for local wealth, as well as the use of lagged demographic variables. Other effects of an older population, such as low crime rates, cannot explain the findings. I present evidence that segmentation is stronger in markets where banks are small and lack access to external capital markets. Finally, deregulation of intrastate branching cut the effect of local deposit supply in half, suggesting that a benefit of deregulation is improved geographical capital allocation.
