The results indicate that the marginal utility of consumption increases as health deteriorates. Specifically, the baseline estimates show that moving from a healthy state to a poor health state raises the marginal utility of consumption by approximately 4 percentage points. In relative terms, a one-standard-deviation increase in poor health is associated with a proportional increase of 22.7% to 29.4% in the marginal utility of consumption relative to the marginal utility in a healthy state. These findings are primarily driven by the increased marginal utility of luxuries rather than necessities, suggesting that certain types of goods offer greater utility in poor health and play a crucial role in mitigating the adverse impacts of health shocks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"229 ","pages":"Article 106809"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142703023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recognizing that state dependency can naturally emerge in complex evolving systems, we present a new methodological framework to evaluate state-dependent (or non-linear) impulse response functions in an ABM setting. Inspired by threshold time series modelling approaches, we propose analysing state-dependent impulse responses by creating alternative controlled states of the system, from which randomized impulse responses can be computed. Furthermore, a data-driven, machine-learning algorithm is proposed to endogenously identify relevant system states for the observed response. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such an approach is advanced. An R library implementing all the required methods is also offered to ensure applicability in diverse fields. Finally, the methodology is applied in economics to test for monetary policy shocks in a reference macro ABM, highlighting its effectiveness in mapping the system impulse response to the identified key state variables, as well as showing the importance of state dependence for policy design and systematic identification of critical system states.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"229 ","pages":"Article 106811"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142659288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We begin by theoretically analyzing the impact of conditional commitments managed by a mediator on public good contributions. Our analysis shows that conditional commitments can be structured to achieve a Pareto Optimal Nash Equilibrium (PONE). We then validate our theoretical findings with laboratory experiments. The results reveal that when a PONE exists, nearly all participant groups adopt conditional commitments and achieve high levels of sustained cooperation.

In response to the increasing awareness of cultural traits and their relationship to corporate sustainable behavior, this paper focused on one specific aspect of the relevance of culture: the association of family culture to green behaviors. This paper explored the nexus between family culture, the deceptive behavior of greenwashing, and firm performance in China, which provided original evidence that family culture firms have a significantly lower likelihood in participating in deceptive green behaviors as measured by greenwashing. By collecting the listed Chinese firms during 2011 to 2021, we estimated empirical models and drew a variety of conclusions accordingly. First, family culture firms have a negative and significant impact on greenwashing behaviors, leading to a decline in deceptive green production decision-making. Second, we further provided mechanisms which hamper family firms’ greenwashing behaviors into two perspectives: financial constraint and agency cost between shareholders and family managers. We recognized that financial constraints motivate family culture firms to greenwash, whereas the low agency cost related to family culture discourages family firms from greenwashing decision-making. Third, we provide very rich dimensions in discussion of heterogeneous effects. Specifically, within the internal family culture structure heterogeneities, family managers without overseas backgrounds, no generational or descendant involvement, and high family-controlled firms are even less involved in greenwashing decision-making. Moreover, with respect to external heterogeneities, family culture in pollution-intensive industries, highly regulated environmental firms, and Confucian social culture intensive regions, can significantly reduce greenwashing behaviors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"228 ","pages":"Article 106812"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
