Financial development convergence
(Elsevier, 2015-07)We show that credit levels relative to GDP and other measures for financial development tend to converge across countries over time. The results are obtained using a broad sample of countries over many years and controlling ... -
The appreciative democratic voice of DEA: a case of faculty academic performance evaluation
(Elsevier, 2014-03)Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is in fact more than just being an instrument for measuring the relative efficiencies of a group of decision making units (DMU). DEA models are also means of expressing appreciative democratic ... -
The productivity gap: Monetary policy, the subprime boom, and the post-2001 productivity surge
(Elsevier, 2015-03)It is widely believed that, in the wake of the dot.com crash, the Fed kept the federal funds target rate too low for too long, inadvertently contributing to the subprime boom. We attribute this and other Fed departures ... -
Consumer response to product construction: the role of haptic stimulation
(Wiley, 2014-11)This study investigates how consumers are affected by haptic information, that is, the information acquired through the sense of touch, when they take part in the construction or assembly of a product. In order to create ... -
Consumer participation in the design and realization stages of production: how self-production shapes consumer evaluations and relationship to products
(Elsevier, 2014-12)Psychological responses of consumers to specific stages of self-production activities are investigated in four studies. Findings reveal that consumer participation in the realization stage (physical production) enhances ... -

Cross-efficiency in DEA: a maximum resonated appreciative model
(Elsevier, 2015-03)The occurrence of multiple optimal solutions is an important and interesting issue in data envelopment analysis (DEA), for it allows flexibility to estimate the optimal cross-efficiencies of all decision making units (DMUs). ... -
Communicating forecasts: the simplicity of simulated experience
(Elsevier, 2015-08)It is unclear whether decision makers who receive forecasts expressed as probability distributions over outcomes understand the implications of this form of communication. We suggest a solution based on the fact that people ... -
