Abstract: Consumption experiences generate enduring satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) that persists beyond the moment of consumption. This paper analyzes the rational behavior of individuals who anticipate this lasting impact and the cognitive limitations that shape memories–i.e, the peak-end rule, as documented by Daniel Kahneman and coauthors. The peak rule gives rise to non-smooth consumption trajectories characterized…

In this study, our focus is on decentralized agricultural supply chains, where multiple non-competing distributors serve the demand of their respective markets. These distributors procure a single product from a farmer through an agricultural cooperative within a specific timeframe. Agents can coordinate their actions to maximize profits, employing cooperative game theory to analyze cooperation among…
This paper applies a model in which a local market served by high-speed rail (HSR) and an airline is connected with an international market serving two different airlines.

We study how university economics teaching addresses sustainability. The priority of the topic has been evidenced in publications calling for a critical analysis of university programmes (Bowles, Carlin, 2020; Ansari, Landin, 2023; Prillaman, 2023). We analyse how sustainability is addressed in introductory economics courses for the degrees in Economics, Business Administration, and Law at public…

The tariff rate quota (TRQ) is a common market access instrument in global agricultural trade that allows a predetermined quantity of a product to be imported at a lower tariff rate than the rate typically applied to that product. In this study, we examine the design and administration of TRQ systems from an operations management…

An extensive literature has studied both in the field and in the lab the effects on performance of providing absolute and relative verifiable feedback, finding mixed results. Another branch of the literature has studied the effects of non-verifiable centrally-provided feedback, also with mixed results. But, to the best of our knowledge, no study has explored…
