An Economic Approach To Allocating River Water To Estuaries In South Africa, Stephen Hosking
An Economic Approach To Allocating River Water To Estuaries In South Africa, Stephen Hosking
Economics Seminar Series
Estuaries are last in line as a recipient of river water and for this reason they are particularly vulnerable to negative environmental impacts due to water scarcity and pollution. They only receive the runoff that has not been abstracted or prevented from reaching rivers. When this runoff is substantially reduced their functionality is undermined and they often become less attractive for recreational use. This paper explores some aspects entailed in efficiently managing the allocation of water to estuaries problem and some associated problems. It is shown that efficient management requires the marginal social costs of the inflows to be brought …
Incentivizing Experiments: Monetary Rewards Versus Extra Credits, Mana Komai, Philip Grossman
Incentivizing Experiments: Monetary Rewards Versus Extra Credits, Mana Komai, Philip Grossman
Economics Faculty Working Papers
We use laboratory experiments with different salient rewards (monetary rewards versus extra credits) to study collective decision making behavior under different informational structures. The results show that even though subjects’ behavior follows a similar pattern in both cases, subjects tend to act more efficiently when they are compensated with extra credits rather than money.

Arab-U.S. Migration: The Effects Of Exchange Rates, Politics And Oil, Örn B. Bodvarsson, Abbas Mehdi
Arab-U.S. Migration: The Effects Of Exchange Rates, Politics And Oil, Örn B. Bodvarsson, Abbas Mehdi
Economics Faculty Working Papers
We hypothesize that exchange rates, commodity prices and geopolitical instability can affect international migration. If migrants send their earnings home, then appreciation of the destination country’s currency will make remittances more valuable in the home country, raising the likelihood of migration. Higher commodity prices in the home country can, on the one hand, discourage migration because of improved labor market opportunities at home, but can, on the other, encourage migration because greater prosperity makes relocation more affordable. Some parts of the World, for example the Middle East, have experienced considerable geopolitical instability, which may have induced greater levels of supply-push …
A Test Of Congressional Voting On Immigration Restrictions, Örn B. Bodvarsson, King Banaian, Anton D. Lowenberg
A Test Of Congressional Voting On Immigration Restrictions, Örn B. Bodvarsson, King Banaian, Anton D. Lowenberg
Economics Faculty Working Papers
Immigration policy is supplied endogenously through a political process that weighs the impacts of immigration on factor owners, together with other interests, in determining policy outcomes. The relative significance of constituent interests and legislator ideology in shaping policy is tested by identifying the correlates of congressional voting on immigration legislation. Conservative lawmakers are found to generally support stricter immigration controls. Legislators representing border states and urban areas favor looser restrictions, possibly reflecting the political influence of recent immigrants. There is evidence that immigration reform is a normal good and that substitutability between native and immigrant labor promotes tighter immigration restrictions.
Immigration Of Highly Skilled Professionals: Discrimination In Professional Baseball?, Örn B. Bodvarsson, Scott M. Fuess, Jr.
Immigration Of Highly Skilled Professionals: Discrimination In Professional Baseball?, Örn B. Bodvarsson, Scott M. Fuess, Jr.
Economics Faculty Working Papers
Are highly skilled foreign professionals paid differently than their native-born counterparts? To address this question, this study focuses on a particular profession with substantial inflows of immigrants, in which human capital is readily transferrable: Major League Baseball (MLB). Racial discrimination in professional sports has received considerable attention, but it remains to be seen whether there has been differential treatment of foreign athletes. Focusing on a 1997-1998 sample of 557 MLB players, we find that foreign players are indeed treated differently than native-born players, favorably in some respects and unfavorably in others. Moreover, when controlling for birthplace, the extent of racial …

Reports
Health issues and health-related costs can have a major impact upon the quality of student and academic life at institutions of higher education. The ACHA-National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) is a national research survey organized by the American College Health Association (ACHA) to assist college health service providers, health educators, counselors, and administrators in collecting data about their students' habits, behaviors, and perceptions on the most prevalent health topics.
