  • dictator game giving and norms of redistribution does giving in the dictator game parallel with the supporting of income redistribution in the field
    Journal of Socio-economics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Timo Tammi
    Abstract:

    The dictator game is a tool for analyzing generosity in a simple experimental environment. The susceptibility of the results to relatively small changes in the experimental design has cast doubt on the interpretation of the game within the framework of the traditional economic Theory of Preferences. Another concern attached to the game is that patterns similar to those found in experiments are difficult to find outside experiments. Consequently, the recent discussion has ranged over using the dictator game as a tool for investigating social norms rather than as a setting to test the Theory of Preferences. Any progress in this discussion presupposes more empirical work using various data and taking various theoretical perspectives. This paper contributes to such research by comparing giving in the dictator game with supporting income redistribution in the field. In particular, the paper provides a simple data-analysis of three developed countries (Spain, Sweden and the USA) to find a data pattern similar to data patterns in dictator game experiments. A symmetrical resemblance is found in the case of Sweden, an asymmetrical one in the case of the USA, and a non-resemblance in the case of Spain.

  • Econophysics and individual choice
    2020
    Co-Authors: Robert F Bordley
    Abstract:

    Abstract The subjectivist Theory of probability specifies certain axioms of rationality which together lead to both a Theory of probability and a Theory of preference. The Theory of probability is used throughout the sciences while the Theory of Preferences is used in economics. Results in quantum physics challenge the adequacy of the subjectivist Theory of probability. As we show, answering this challenge requires modifying an Archimedean axiom in the subjectivist Theory. But changing this axiom modifies the subjectivist Theory of preference and therefore has implications for economics. As this paper notes, these implications are consistent with current empirical findings in psychology and economics. As we show, these results also have implications for pricing in securities markets. This suggests further directions for research in econophysics.

  • Análisis de las preferencias de financiación de las pymes colombianas dedicadas al e-commerce periodo 2015-2017
    'Universidad Externado de Colombia', 2020
    Co-Authors: Beltrán Beltrán, Jenny Paola, Medina Arias, Yuliana Andrea, Muñoz Muñoz, Luisa Fernanda, Villada Urbano, Karen Viviana
    Abstract:

    After observing how the rise of the Internet has affected a generational change in customs and forms of consumption that has resulted in the birth and in turn the closure of multiple businesses worldwide, this work aims to recognize whether the new companies supported in the information and communication technologies that are dedicated to electronic commerce, apply the Theory of Preferences at the time of financing. Therefore, this document develops a bibliographic exploration of small and medium enterprises focused on e-commerce and the evolution in Colombia between 2015 and 2017. The main indicators of indebtedness are evaluated based on the financial information reported to the Financial Superintendence of Colombia. It’s concluded that the analyzed companies don’t have a scale of preference between financing with own resources and indebtedness with financial entities as the Theory explains.Después de observar cómo el auge del internet ha incidido en un cambio ge-neracional de costumbres y formas de consumo que ha dado como resultado el nacimiento y, a su vez, la clausura de múltiples negocios a nivel mundial, este trabajo pretende reconocer si las nuevas empresas soportadas en las tecnologías de la información y de comunicación que se dedican al comercio electrónico aplican la teoría de preferencias o pecking order al momento de financiarse. Por tanto, el presente documento desarrolla una exploración bibliografía acerca de las pymes enfocadas en e-commerce y la evolución en Colombia entre el 2015 y el 2017, se evalúa los principales indicadores de endeudamiento con base en la información financiera reportada a la superintendencia financiera de Colombia y se concluye que las empresas analizadas no tienen una escala de preferencia entre el financia-miento con recursos propios y el endeudamiento con entidades financieras como lo expone la teoría

  • La brecha salarial de género. Una revisión de literatura
    'Universidad Cesar Vallejo', 2021
    Co-Authors: Vela Meléndez Lindon, Gonzales Cruz, Kathy Amalia, Castillo Seminario, Lucinda Esperanza
    Abstract:

    Based on bibliometrics and analytical review of the literature, a review of the state of the art of the gender pay gap phenomenon has been developed. First, a keyword search argument has been prepared in Scopus, with which the statistics of publications such as: evolution over time, types of publication, area of knowledge and countries have been elaborated; then, using ATLAS.ti, an analytical reading of the theoretical and methodological contributions and trends in the approach to the phenomenon has been carried out. It is concluded that according to the Scopus database, the subject has been dealt with since 1993, but since 2002 there has been greater interest by researchers, the publications are mainly original articles, book chapters and reviews, which are approached from the social, administrative and economic sciences, and the interest of medical sciences in recent years stands out. In the explanation of the phenomenon, there coexist classic orthodox views based on the Theory of Preferences and individualism and a heterodox view of social provisioning that analyzes the institutional framework that maintains wage differences and considers that the wage gap is not a natural phenomenon and, therefore, must be examined within a specific social and historical context. Finally, with respect to the factors that statistically explain the existence of the wage gap, there is convergence of several authors in the valuation of contributions by Oaxaca - Blinder and Reimers, as well as Neumark, Jhun’s decomposition and a widely used technique in statistical decomposition is quantile regression.Con base en la bibliometría y la revisión analítica de la literatura, se ha desarrollado una revisión del estado del arte del fenómeno de la brecha salarial de género. Primero se ha preparado un argumento de búsqueda de palabras claves en Scopus, con lo que se han elaborado las estadísticas de publicaciones tales como: evolución en el tiempo, tipos de publicación, área del conocimiento y países; luego mediante el uso de ATLAS.ti se ha procedido a realizar la lectura analítica de los aportes teóricos, metodológicos y tendencias en el abordaje del fenómeno. Se concluye que según la base de datos de Scopus el tema es tratado desde el año 1993, pero desde el año 2002 ha existido mayor interés por los investigadores, las publicaciones fundamentalmente se realizan como artículos originales, capítulos de libros y revisiones, los mismos que son abordados desde las ciencias sociales, administrativas y económicas y se desataca el interés de ciencias médicas en los últimos años. En la explicación del fenómeno coexisten visiones clásicas ortodoxas que se respaldan en la teoría de las preferencias y el individualismo y una visión heterodoxa del aprovisionamiento social que analiza la institucionalidad que mantienen las diferencias salariales y considera que la brecha salarial no es un fenómeno natural y, por lo tanto, debe ser examinado dentro de un contexto social e histórico específico. Finalmente, respecto a los factores que explican estadísticamente la existencia de la brecha salarial, existe convergencia de varios autores en la valoración de aportes Oaxaca - Blinder y Reimers, así como también de Neumark, la descomposición de Jhun y una técnica de amplio uso en la descomposición estadística es la regresión cuantílica

  • satisfaction in action hume s endogenous Theory of Preferences and the virtues of commerce
    Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, 2021
    Co-Authors: Erik W Matson
    Abstract:

    Abstract Hume's Theory of Preferences would, from a contemporary point of view, be labelled an endogenous Theory. He sees Preferences largely as comparative desires that are formed and affected by the psychological process of sympathy. His view of Preferences relates to his economic philosophy. Despite his understanding of Preferences, Hume is, unlike some other thinkers with related perspectives like Thorstein Veblen, optimistic about the prospects of commercial society, claiming in one of his essays that the ages of commerce and refinement are both the happiest and the most virtuous. An important reason for his optimism lies in the fact that he understands happiness or well-being to largely consist in the process of actively pursuing one's Preferences, not simply in the state of having one's Preferences satisfied.
