All Together Now: Genes, Interpersonal Touch, and Self‐Conscious Processes Jointly Guide Cooperative Behavior
Cooperation and trust are critical parts of many relationships. However, such relationships are often studied in siloed ways, leading to incomplete explanations of behavior (e.g., from the point of view of a buyer or a seller, but not necessarily both). This paper makes three contributions to broadening this perspective. First, the authors develop a model incorporating individual differences (genetics), environmental (interpersonal touch), and ps…
Foreign Investment, Vertical Integration and Local Equity Requirements
The paper presents a spatial model in which a foreign firm and local government behave strategically in setting a local equity requirement (LER).

The author uses Extreme Bound Analysis (EBA) to examine if any of the conclusions from the existing studies is robust to small changes in the conditioning information set. The EBA upholds the…
