A bitter choice turned sweet: How acknowledging individuals’ concern at having a low relative income serves to align utilitarianism and egalitarianism
Stark, Oded; Jakubek, Marcin; Kobus, Martyna (2015-03)When individuals’ utility is a convex combination of their income and their concern at having a low relative income (the weights attached to income and to the concern at having a low relative income sum up to one), the ... -

Using nationally aggregated time series data, these policies are econometrically ... -
The impact of the assimilation of migrants on the well-being of native inhabitants: A theory
Stark, Oded; Bielawski, Jakub; Jakubek, Marcin (2015-01)We present a theory that systematically and causally links the well-being of native inhabitants with variation in the extent of the assimilation of migrants. Recent empirical findings are yielded as predictions of the theory. -
Evaluating the impacts of traditional biomass energy use on agricultural production in Sichuan, China
Chen, Qiu; Mirzabaev, Alisher (2016-12)As crop straw and firewood are generated as by-products of food production systems, they are perceived to be sustainable energy sources that do not threaten food security by Chinese government for a long time. However, the ... -
Social interactions and aspirations formation in rural Ethiopia
Mekonnen, Daniel Ayalew (2016-12)The recent literature postulates that aspirations are one of the key determinants of economic decision making, and that aspirations are formed socially through observations and by learning from ‘relevant others’ (or the ... -
Consensus income distribution
Stark, Oded; Falniowski, Fryderyk; Jakubek, Marcin (2016-11)In determining the optimal redistribution of a given population’s income, we ask which factor is more important: the social planner’s aversion to inequality, embedded in an isoelastic social welfare function indexed by a ... -
Demographic dynamics and long-run development: Insights for the secular stagnation debate
Cervellati, Matteo; Sunde, Uwe; Zimmermann, Klaus F. (2016-09)This paper takes a global, long-run perspective on the recent debate about secular stagnation, which has so far mainly focused on the short term. The analysis is motivated by observing the interplay between the economic ... -
Assessing nexus effects of energy use in rural areas: the case of an inter- and intra-household model for Uttar Pradesh, India
Djanibekov, Utkur; Gaur, Varun (2016-09)The focus of our analysis is on nexus issues among energy use, incomes, employment, investment decisions, and agricultural production for meeting food and feed demands, as well as health-related effects on rural households. ... -
Will a government find it financially easier to neutralize a looming protest if more groups are involved?
Stark, Oded; Zawojska, Ewa (2016-08)We study a policy response to an increase in post-merger social stress. If a merger of groups of people is viewed as a revision of their social space, then the merger alters people’s comparators and increases social stress: ... -
Arsenic contamination of drinking water and mental health
Chowdhury, Shyamal; Krause, Anabelle; Zimmermann, Klaus F. (2016-07)This paper investigates the effect of drinking arsenic contaminated water on mental health. Drinking water with an unsafe arsenic level for a prolonged period can lead to arsenicosis and associated illness. Based on rich ... -
FVIII-albumin fusion proteins enhance the induction of immune tolerance towards coagulation factor VIII in haemophilia A mice
Maione, Andrea (2024-09-19)Haemophilia A (HemA) is an X-linked recessive disease caused by the lack of functional coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) causing life-threatening prolonged bleeding events due to a coagulation incapacity. HemA is treated by ... -

Akkas, Sümeyra (2024-09-19)Pulmonale Hypertonie (PH) und Lungenhypoplasie tragen maßgeblich zur Morbidität und Mortalität bei Säuglingen mit angeborener Zwerchfellhernie (CDH, engl. congenital diaphragmatic hernia) bei (Kitagawa et al., 1971; Keijzer ... -
The sup-norm problem for automorphic forms in higher rank
Toma, Radu (2024-09-18)We study the sup-norm of Hecke-Maaß cusp forms on certain locally symmetric spaces of SL<sub>n</sub>(ℝ). The latter correspond either to cocompact lattices defined by orders in division algebras, or to the Hecke ... -
