  • Children and the Economics of Christmas Gift-Giving
    Applied Economics Letters, 1995, 2, 295–297 Children and the economics of Christmas gift-giving CAR OL HORT ON T RE M B L AY* and VIC T OR J. T R E M BL AY * Oregon State University, Department of Economics, Ballard Extension Hall 303, Corvallis, OR 97331-3612, USA Received 22 March 1995 In spite of its importance to the retail sector, there has been relatively little research on the economics of Christmas Season gift-giving. The one exception is Waldfogel (1993), The Deadweight loss of Christmas, American Economic Review, 83, 1328–1336, who found a substantial amount of deadweight loss associated with Christmas gift-giving. Here it is shown that the Waldfogel study is incomplete and alternative models of consumer choice theory which better explain Christmas gift-giving are identified. Although the standard neoclassical and altruistic models predict no relationship between the population of children and per capita Christmas spending, a model is developed that includes non-pecuniary externalities and predicts that children have a positive impact on Christmas gift-giving. This prediction is supported by empirical evidence. I. I NT R ODUC T ION II .

Keywords: survey, network economics, network industries, network effects, network externalities JEL Classifications: D4, L1, L8, Z1 Oz Shy is an economist in the research department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. His e-mail address is [email protected]. This paper, which may be revised, is available on the web site of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston at http://www.bos.frb.org/economic/wp/index.htm. I thank Jeff Church, Suzanne Lorant, Victor Tremblay, and two anonymous reviewers for most valuable comments and suggestions on earlier drafts. The views and opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston or the Federal Reserve System. This version: March 31, 2010 1. Introduction Network effects are a special type of externality in which consumers’ utility and/or firms’ profits are directly affected by the number of consumers and/or producers using the same (or a compatible) technology. Loosely speaking, network effects are generated by increasing the adoption rate (popularity) of a good or a service. Consumption network effects may be positive, in the sense that consumers benefit from an increase in the number of consumers using the same or a compatible brand; or negative, in which case consumers are worse off when more consumers use the same or a compatible brand.1 Negative network effects often are the result of snobbism or vanity, in that a consumer loses the sense of belonging to an elite group when a product is adopted more widely.

  • An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada
    “Never Say Die”: An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada by Elizabeth Cooper A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by Elizabeth Cooper Abstract The community of Aklavik, North West Territories, was known as the “Gateway to the North” throughout the first half of the Twentieth Century. In 1959, the Canadian Federal Government decided to relocate the town to a new location for a variety of economic and environmental reasons. Gwitch’in and Inuvialuit refused to move, thus claiming their current community motto “Never Say Die”. Through a series of interviews and participant observation with Elders in Aklavik and Inuvik, along with consultation of secondary literature and archival sources, this thesis examines ideas of the impact of mission hospitals, notions of health, wellness and community through an analysis of some of the events that transpired during this interesting period of history. Acknowledgements I would like to thank and honour the people in both Aklavik and Inuvik for their help and support with this project. I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr. Christopher G Trott, Dr Emma LaRocque and Dr. Mark Rumel for their continued help and support throughout this project. I would like to thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Dr. S. Michelle Driedger’s Research in Science Communication CIHR-CFI Research Lab, University of Manitoba Graduate Studies, University of Manitoba Faculty of Arts, University of Manitoba, Department of Native Studies and University of Manitoba Graduate Students Association, for making both the research and dissemination of results for this project possible.

  • Economic and Market Overview
    DECEMBER 2020 ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW Global After all the hype around the 3 November US election, interest in US politics has died away surprisingly quickly as it became apparent that Joe Biden will most likely be inaugurated on 20 January 2021. This change in news focus was perhaps not all that surprising as more relevant matters, such as a second Covid-19 wave in the northern hemisphere and accompanying lockdowns, are threatening to derail the global economic recovery. Various vaccines seem to be in the final stage of approval, but distribution of these and the willingness of communities to be vaccinated also play a role in creating the conditions for a sustained return to previous levels of economic activity. This is clear from a recent report published by TS Lombard, an independent economic and investment strategy research house. They concluded that the world economy will benefit from an effective vaccine (or vaccines) but that it also faces two major downside developments: the second wave of infections which is more virulent than previously expected (especially in Europe), and delays in the implementation of a second fiscal stimulus package in the United States which was originally scheduled for the end of the third quarter this year. They believe that the vaccine upside and these short-term downsides should combine to sustain stock markets at their current very high ratings: the downsides and resulting disappointing Q4 and Q1 growth will keep central bank policies ultra-easy, while the prospective consumption benefits from the vaccine will sustain investor confidence. The “risk-on” sentiment among investors put further pressure on the US Dollar with emerging markets The “risk-on” currencies being the major beneficiaries of capital flows.

Christ and Santa Claus are pitted against each other in the war on Christmas between religion and secularism instead of feasting together on ham and figgy pudding in the traditional fashion.

    Frontier Economics Bulletin Water Energy Reindeer Environment Transport Financial services Healthcare Telecoms Father Christmas Competition policy Policy analysis and design Contract design and evaluation Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Retail Strategy Market design DECEMBER 2011 Present values THE ECONOMICS OF CHRISTMAS It’s easier to think of economists as the prophets of trading doom than as Santa’s little helpers – too busy telling everybody what’s happening to productivity, energy demand and like-for-like sales to provide any insights into the annual exchange of goodwill and good- or-ill gifts to family and friends. So Frontier Economics has been scouring the academic literature of behavioural economics for tips to make that last struggle with your present list a little easier… With so much, for retailers, hanging on their Christmas trade, it’s not surprising that economists have been attempting to analyse present-giving for years. Most of the research, however, has a narrow, distinctly Scrooge-like tone to it (maybe too much of it was conducted by analysts soured by their annual quota of socks). So what follows is an attempt to elicit slightly more seasonal cheer – and even a little buyers’ guidance – from the available stock of behavioural economics and consumer psychology. 2 Frontier Economics | December 2011 THOUGHT PROFIT AND DEADWEIGHT LOSS Present buying isn’t easy. Ideally, we would give something whose value to the recipient is greater than its cost, having found something original and beautiful that surprises and delights. But the risk is that the value to the recipient is actually lower than the cost: it’s just not something he or she wanted.
