Our study differs from theirs as we use a newly calculated US state-level EPU index, whereas they used the US country-level EPU index in their previous work. While the linear ARDL model finds that the EPU has short-run effects on GINI in 15 US states, the nonlinear model finds it in 22 US states. Similarly, while the nonlinear model finds that EPU has a long-run impact on GINI in five US states, the linear model finds it only in one US state. However, when the CSD is allowed, the linear model finds that EPU impacts GINI in five US states in the long run. While our study finds that decreased uncertainty worsens income inequalities in Texas and Washington, Bahmani-Oskooee and Hasanzade find that uncertainty does not have long-run effects in these US states. Similarly, while we find that increased uncertainty improves inequality in Virginia, they also find worsening effects in this US state.

By uniquely conceptualizing objective difficulty and complexity, we first investigate whether within-task heterogeneity results in responses that are elicited solely by task characteristics related to the computational efficiency of the task doer. The subtasks’ difficulty and complexity have a robust reverse effect on every productivity outcome of the participant workers. Second, we find that monetary rewards mainly act as moderators of within-task heterogeneity. Our investigation identified monetary rewards as a key moderator of within-task heterogeneity. Notably, higher rewards effectively counteract the detrimental impact of task complexity and difficulty, yet we observe diminishing returns with extreme reward values. The study's central contribution lies in its uncovering of a complementary relationship. An optimally designed task coupled with a judicious reward policy not only eases workers’ perceived complexity and difficulty but also alleviates uncertainties that might otherwise hinder the achievement of high-quality outcomes. This nuanced understanding provides valuable insights for shaping efficient task structures and reward strategies in the realm of online labor markets.

However, in imperfectly competitive markets such as the illegal drugs market, it is the seller who determines price. Moreover, even models that focus on supply-side behavior often ignore key factors such as risk. This paper develops an expected utility model of a risk-averse seller. We find that under risk aversion, increasing punishment costs (i.e., severity) is more effective than increased enforcement (i.e., certainty) and demand reduction is more effective than interdiction. If risk neutrality is assumed, increases in severity and certainty have the same deterrent effect. Under risk neutrality, the deterrent effect of demand reduction policies dominates all other interdiction policies.
