▼ As the nonprofit sector has become a more significant part of the economy in the United States, scholars have paid more attention to nonprofit employment. Despite this increased research interest in the nonprofit workforce, however, very little research has sought to understand its characteristics. This study examines the factors that affect a person’s choice to work in a specific sector in order to understand one of the more distinctive characteristics of nonprofit employment – overrepresentation of women in the nonprofit sector. In this study, both aspects of utility maximization and availability of alternatives in sector choice are considered. Though existing research on sector choice focuses on a binary choice either between for-profit and nonprofit or between for-profit and public, this study views a sector choice of prime-age salaried workers as a three-way choice among for-profit, nonprofit, and public sectors using 2003-2007 Current Population Survey September supplement data. This study further contributes to the literature on nonprofit employment by testing the impact of nonprofit status on an individual’s earnings. When women account for an overwhelming majority of the nonprofit workforce, examining the impact of nonprofit employment on wages is very important in terms of understanding women’s economic well-being across different sectors. Because individuals self-select into a particular sector and one’s earnings and sector of employment tend to be jointly determined, this study utilizes the endogenous switching regression to correct the self-selection bias in earnings determination. The results of the study indicate that the so-called “feminine” industries are concentrated in the nonprofit sector, and this gendered industry structure of the nonprofit sector attributes to women’s overrepresentation in the sector. The results also suggest that women with more education and more experience may choose nonprofit jobs over jobs in the other sectors, and therefore, there may a brain drain of females into the nonprofit sector. The findings show that nonprofit employment is generally associated with negative wage differentials, suggesting that nonprofit workers may accept lower earnings in the sector in order to achieve their intrinsic motivation or to have better job-related amenities.

▼ Choice performances of six Brown Shaver hens were studied across three series of conditions, using a partial replication of Stagner and Zentall’s (2010) procedure. Hens chose between two alternatives during choice-trials. Choice of the low-probability alternative provided one of two stimuli that reliably predicted 100% reinforcement on 20% of the trials, and 0% reinforcement on the remaining 80% of trials. Choice of the non-discriminative alternative provided one of two unreliable stimuli that non-differentially signalled 50% reinforcement, regardless of the stimulus presented. In Conditions 1-4 and Condition 6, the stimuli and reinforcement contingencies associated with the side keys were repeatedly reversed across conditions. In Condition 5, stimulus and reinforcement contingencies were each equated at 50%. Results replicated Stagner and Zentall’s (2010) findings demonstrating that choice for the low-probability alternative for most hens remained almost exclusive across reversals, except Condition 5 where previous choice performances for all subjects, was disrupted. In Conditions 7-11, the reliability of the low-probability stimuli was gradually decreased across conditions. Results showed that the decreasing reliability of the low-probability stimuli did not deter many hens from choosing suboptimally. Conditions 12 and 13 reversed Conditions 8 and 11, respectively. Results showed that choice performances for most hens in Condition 13 varied considerably from Condition 11. The main finding from this study is that hens do not exclusively choose signals that reliably signal a reinforcing outcome. This is because choice for the low-probability alternative for many hens was not affected when the reliability of those signals decreased. This suggests that the signals themselves may be more reinforcing than their subsequent outcome which may have implications for human gambling behaviour.

▼ This study addressed the question of whether an overall preference for a suboptimal choice, previously found in pigeons (Stagner and Zentall, 2010), would be replicated with five brushtail possums. In Part One of this experiment possums responded on a concurrent-chain procedure where both alternatives had fixed-ratio 1 schedules in the initial link and a fixed-interval 10s in the terminal link. Two stimuli outcomes (four line orientations) are presented on the alternatives based on a probability of 0.20 or 0. 80. The left produced a discriminative stimulus with the right reinforcing on half of trials (20:50). Three of the five possums showed a consistent preference for the optimal alternative (50%), while the others showed a preference for the suboptimal (20%). When data was averaged possums showed a preference for the optimal alternative, which was not consistent with Stagner and Zentall’s (2010) earlier findings. Part Two of this investigation replicated Gipson, Alessandri, Miller and Zentall (2009), probabilities of stimuli appearing were changed to 50/50, with a discriminative stimulus on the left alternative and the probability of reinforcement on the optimal alternative increased to 75% (50:75). The discriminative stimuli were now more predictable than previously, when this was not present all possums showed a preference for the suboptimal alternative. When discriminative stimuli were associated with both alternatives (20:50), replicating Stagner, Laude and Zentall (2012), all possums showed all possums optimal preferences. An overall preference for the optimal alternative, seen during this study, is consistent with the findings reported in a more recent study by Trujano and Orduña’s (2015) with rats. This overall optimal preference is somewhat consistent with optimal foraging theory, however, this does not account for the suboptimal choices made by some possums. The suboptimal preferences seen by two possums in Part One and all in Part Two also loosely support previous findings that pigeons are under the control of discriminative stimuli.

▼ I estimate productivity gains from iodine deficiency eradication. I look at the historical experience of Switzerland and the United States, where iodine deficiency was endemic in certain regions, due to their geography. Iodine deficiency was eradicated in the 1920s by providing iodized salt to the population. I use microdata from the 1970 Swiss Census, combined with data on the pre-existing variation of iodine deficiency, and data on the market penetration of iodized salt. I merge this data with information on occupational characteristics. I find that iodization increased the probability of graduating from secondary and tertiary education by around 1 percentage point. The effect is bigger for females, where iodization explains 9-14% of the total change in graduation rates from upper education levels over this period. I also find that cohorts born in previously highly-deficient areas after the introduction of iodized salt self-selected into higher-paying occupations. Furthermore, the characteristics of occupations in those areas changed, and cohorts born after iodization selected into occupations with higher cognitive demands, whereas they opted out of physical-labor-intensive occupations. My results on occupational choice are driven by the effect of iodization on males. In joint work with Professors David N. Weil and James Feyrer, we study the effects of salt iodization in the United States in 1924. We document that right after iodized salt was introduced, there was a spike in thyroid-related deaths, centered on older-age groups and particularly affecting older females. We use data compiled during the WWI draft, which document the geographic variation in underlying iodine deficiency across US localities. We combine that data with military data from the WWII draft, and present evidence that the Air Corps received preferential treatment in its choice of recruits. By treating assignment into the Air Corps as a proxy for above-average cognitive ability, we find that the probability of assignment to the Air Corps jumps by 4-6 percentage points for those born after iodization in highly deficient areas. In a falsification exercise, we find no evidence of such a jump in the case of other disorders. Advisors/Committee Members: Weil, David (director), Chay, Kenneth (reader), Rubinstein, Yona (reader).

This thesis investigates the relationship between demand functions and discrete choice models, the specific objective being to infer ordinary demand elasticities from estimated choice elasticities. A necessary intermediate step is to uncover the relationship between conditional demand systems whereby non-transport goods are pre-allocated and conditional share systems whereby transport goods are pre-allocated. A conditional share system is applicable to the demands for a set of competing alternatives where there is a constraint on the consumption quantity for the aggregate group demand. This describes the demand implications for a population of individuals making discrete choices. The inference is appropriate to a stand alone revealed and stated preference choice model, where the aggregated choice elasticities are used to extrapolate to market share elasticities. The missing component for measuring demand responses to be used in a policy application is the generation elasticity: the marginal increase or decrease in the volume of transport activity in response to a pricing decision. The thesis develops a generation elasticity that preserves the theoretical properties of demand elasticities. The application of the developed theory is suitable for settings where the transport group elasticity is not measured by the survey instrument. Stand alone revealed and stated preference surveys only measure the switching behaviour between modes. The complete relationship under weak separability is developed for the case where elasticity of demand for the transport group is known. Otherwise to implement the theory this thesis makes use of the theoretical properties of block-additive utility functions. Frisch’s money flexibility term is interpreted as the average elasticity of substitution for broad groups of commodities, including transport.

Along with estimates of transport income elasticities the transport demand elasticity is computed by making an informed judgement on the magnitude of the Frisch money flexibility. The applied contribution of the thesis makes use of mode choice elasticities estimated for the 1996 Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal of New South Wales. Unconditional transport elasticities are arrived at by adding a between group substitution based on an informed value of Frisch’s money flexibility and income elasticities estimated using the confidential unit record files from the 1998-9 Household Expenditure Survey.

This thesis investigates the relationship between demand functions and discrete choice models, the specific objective being to infer ordinary demand elasticities from estimated choice elasticities. A necessary intermediate step is to uncover the relationship between conditional demand systems whereby non-transport goods are pre-allocated and conditional share systems whereby transport goods are pre-allocated. A conditional share system is applicable to the demands for a set of competing alternatives where there is a constraint on the consumption quantity for the aggregate group…

▼ The governance of the commons is an elusive task. For one thing, the overexploitation of natural resources and the deterioration of environment have posed severe threats to human society. For another, most of the threats result from social dilemmas such as problems of cooperation, coordination and trust. These collective action problems all entail |a| paradox in which rational individual behavior leads to irrational collective outcomes. In previous literature, answers for coping with “the tragedy of the commons” range from the imposition of government to the establishment of market and endogenous rules. However, this institutional perspective has overlooked the social and ecological characteristics embedded in common-pool resources(CPR) systems. Furthermore, few studies have taken a formal game theoretic approach to examine how embeddedness might affect collective action problems in complex social-ecological systems. This thesis uses formal game theoretic models to investigate the dynamics of collective action problems in water sharing interactions. Three types of innovative game theoretic models are developed; namely, the asymmetric N-person Prisoner’s Dilemma game, the asymmetric N-person Stag-hunt game and the two-level Trust game. Various elements of social and ecological embeddedness, including but not limited to direct and indirect reciprocity, heterogeneous utilities, varied utility functions for public good production and multi-level interactions, are incorporated into models to examine conditions under which collective action problems are more likely to be alleviated. Moreover, this study associates implications of the formal models with practice of water governance in contemporary China and provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of several empirical cases including decision-making processes, water allocation schemes, payments for ecosystem services programs and multi-level governance. Major findings of this study are: 1) Collective cooperation between different upstream and downstream actors is subject to joint effects of reciprocity and asymmetric payoff mechanisms. Downstream actors require a strong prospect of long-term interactions whereas upstream actors are more sensitive to the level asymmetries. 2) The problem of coordination can be addressed through settings of asymmetric cost-benefit ratios and varied total utility functions. Actors’ heterogeneous contribution to public good may alter the number of cooperators and the production of public good. 3) The imposition of an overarching authority can be a “double-edged sword” in terms of its impacts on trust construction. A trustworthy authority may relax conditions for placing and honoring trust. The conditions become more restrictive when the authority is untrustworthy. 4) Information transparency and availability, “the shadow of the future,” regional heterogeneities, institutional fit and trustworthiness of overarching authorities are critical factors that affect the performance of water governance in China.

▼ This study proposed a theoretical model of choice overload and empirically examined the model in the context of online apparel shopping. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the number of choices and product presentation formats influenced consumers’ online apparel shopping experience as well as how the formed attitude subsequently influenced consumers’ behavioral decision of subscribing to an email mailing list. To date, previous studies on choice overload have been conducted using experimental research designs, but findings from these experiments only provide fragmentary explanations about the phenomenon. The absence of a comprehensive framework to explain this phenomenon motivated the researcher to develop a theoretical model that treats consumer decision making in choice overload conditions as a continuous process. The proposed theoretical model is superiorly explaining under what circumstances the “too-much-choice effect” is more likely to occur, what evaluation mechanism consumers go through to form their attitude, and what consequences may result. Additionally, the researcher examined the effect of a moderator, product presentation format, on the relationships between the numbers of choices and the internal responses (attitude formation) in the context of apparel e-commerce. Both focus group and questionnaire data collection methods were conducted. First, because of the limited literature on choice overload in e-commerce, the researcher conducted an exploratory study consisting of two focus groups with female college students. The purpose of the focus groups was to understand the relationship between choice overload and consumers’ apparel online shopping experience, such as favorable and unfavorable shopping experiences as well as website designs/navigations. Next, questions were developed that measured consumers’ affective, behavioral, and cognitive evaluative responses (three components of attitude) when facing choice overload. In this stage of data collection, an online questionnaire with nine conditions (mock websites) was developed. The experimental design was a 3 X 3 factorial design with three levels of number of choices (24 vs. 60 vs. 120) and three levels of product presentation formats (Model vs. Flat vs. Hybrid). To examine the main and interaction effects, two-way Analysis of Covariance (two-way ANCOVA) was conducted. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Logistic SEM were applied to examine the hypothesized relationships among the number of choices, components of internal responses/attitude formation, and the behavioral decision variable (subscribing to a mailing list) in the proposed model. The findings revealed that consumers went through a series of stages to generate their behavioral decision when facing choice overload. Their internal responses followed the experiential hierarchy in the ABC model of attitudes to form their attitude (affective → behavioral → cognitive responses). The attitude formed had a substantial impact on their behavioral decision of signing up for the… Advisors/Committee Members: Burns, Leslie (advisor), Koenig, Hal (committee member).

▼ I explore the nature of the effect of emotions on consumer choice. The issue is both theoretically and managerially important. A considerable body of work in the psychology and consumer behaviour literatures describes the importance of emotions, leading researchers increasingly to pay attention to the role of emotions in judgement and decision-making processes. Despite their demonstrated importance, marketing science largely ignores emotions in choice models for two reasons: measurement difficulties and modelling challenges. The need for studies in this area in practice is confirmed by the Marketing Science Institute which ranked the topic of tier-one importance in its 2014 – 2016, and 2016 - 2018 research priorities.Taking advantage of two data sets collected by Forethought Research, I address two aspects of the modelling challenges. Firstly, I develop empirical models to examine the most appropriate functional form(s) with which to represent the effects of emotions in two different categories: a cognitively dominant category (discount department stores) and a more emotionally charged one (disposable baby diapers). Secondly, I explore the potential impact of emotional incoherence which captures the level of inconsistency among emotional drivers associated with a product or service, and its effect on choice.The thesis makes the following contributions. The first set of analysis demonstrates that a more flexible modelling approach to a linearity assumption can significantly improve model goodness of fit. Moreover, positive and negative emotions have qualitatively different impacts on the likelihood of brand choice. The second study is among the first exploring the impact of emotional incoherence, relative to that of cognitive incoherence on consumer choice. It shows that products may simultaneously elicit high levels of conflicting emotions (i.e., emotional ambivalence incoherence), and this may lower their likelihood of choice. Emotional ambivalence incoherence adds significant explanatory power over and above the level of specific emotions in isolation, and can be as important as the most powerful specific negative emotions. Managerially, the second study suggests that marketing executives should ensure that the emotions that their products and their communications elicit, are internally well-matched.

▼ Background: The foods people choose to eat can determine their health status because inadequate or excessive amounts of certain food components are associated with risk of disease. A number of factors influence the foods people choose and the amounts of these foods, such as social situations, habits, advertising and the cost of food (Delormier, et al., 2009). The aim of this study is to identify the perceptions and environmental factors that are associated with food choices and the extent of perceptions to adherence to dietary advice among women with type 2 diabetes. Objectives: 1) To describe food behaviours of women who have diabetes, within their own daily food patterns; 2) To describe the perceptions of women who have diabetes about their social, economic and environmental situations that influence their food choice;, and 3) To identify the perceptions that are associated with the intent or ability to adhere to recommended health and nutrition behaviours. Methodology: Semi-structural individual interviews were used to collect data from 20 women with type 2 diabetes. The Food Choice Map was used to generate the food patterns and food perceptions, Interviews were recorded and transcripts were analyzed by using principles of the Theory of Planned Behavior, constant comparison method to extract themes, and coded by Nvivo software. In addition, the women completed a demographic questionnaire. Results: Of the major factors that the women perceived as influencing their food behaviours, four major factors enabled women to follow nutritional advice, while three factors acted as barriers to following the advice. Groups of women were identified: those who wanted to follow advice and did, those who did not want to follow advice and did not, those who wanted to follow advice but could not, and those who wanted to follow advice but experienced psychological conflict in doing so. Conclusion: Results showed that food behaviours could be better understood through multi-dimensional factors. The four groups of women with diabetes according to perceived intent or ability to adhere to health and nutrition advice was possible in this study, but further studies are needed to justify the use of these groupings in interventions that enhance adherence to dietary advice in the context of type 2 diabetes. Background: The foods people choose to eat can determine their health status because inadequate or excessive amounts of certain food components are associated with risk of disease.

▼ The contemporary tourism industry is often forced to face events that represent a threat to individuals’ safety. Life- threatening events pose a challenge to travelers’ intentions to plan a leisure trip and influence in a substantive manner human decisions. Individual sensitivity towards potential hazards show a great deal of variation among consumers and several tourism scholars have spent the last years investigating the sources of heterogeneity in hazard-induced travel decisions. The present PhD dissertation collects three research articles dealing with tourist risk perception, hazard-induced travel behaviour and the role of individual traits in decision-making influenced by potential hazards. The specific aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between travel attitudes and hazard-induced risk perception, and between risk perception and travel choices. Furthermore, the work intends to assess the differences between distinct life-threatening hazards and the way in which these determine travel decisions. For the purpose of empirical analysis, a structured survey was administered to a sample of university students. Part of the questionnaire was dedicated to a stated preference experiment in which individuals had to choose between hypothetical alternatives of travels characterized by hazards. In this thesis, advanced econometric techniques – namely, Integrated Choice and Latent Variable modelling – are implemented in order to allow unobservable individual traits to be tested as significant determinants of travellers’ decisions. The main results highlight that travel attitudes bear a significant role in shaping risk perception only for certain types of hazards. The analysis of stated preferences data show that an increasing level of risk perception negatively influences the likelihood to travel to dangerous destinations, but important and significant differences are present in the sample of respondents.

▼ CHAPTER 1 (with Kala Krishna) : Preferences, Selection, and Value Added: A Structural Approach This paper investigates two main questions: i) What do applicants take into consideration when choosing a high school? ii) To what extent do schools contribute to their students' academic success? To answer these questions, we model students' preferences and derive demand for each school by taking each student's feasible set of schools into account. We obtain average valuation placed on each school from market clearing conditions. Next, we investigate what drives these valuations by carefully controlling for endogeneity using a set of creative instruments suggested by our model. Finally, controlling for mean reversion bias, we look at each school's value-added. We find that students infer the quality of a school from its selectivity and past performance on the university entrance exam. However, the evidence on the value-added by schools shows that highly valued or selective schools do not have high value-added on their students' academic outcomes. CHAPTER 2 (with James Key and Kala Krishna) : Hit or Miss? Test Taking Behavior in Multiple Choice Exams This paper models and estimates students' decision to guess/attempt or skip the question in a multiple choice test in order to understand the role that student characteristics play. We do this using data from the Turkish University Entrance Exam, a highly competitive, high stakes exam. In particular, we investigate students' behavior according to their gender, predicted score and experience in the exam. Our results show that students' attitudes towards risk differ according to their gender, predicted score and exam experience: female students behave in a more risk averse manner relative to male students, and high scoring students are more risk averse. However, our counterfactual analysis suggests that although different testing regimes can lead to different score distributions, the relationships between exam score percentiles and student characteristics are relatively invariant. CHAPTER 3 (with Kala Krishna and Sergey Lychagin) : Gender Differences in College Major Choice: Evidence from a Centralized System This paper investigates factors affecting college major choice decisions of students. In an environment where college admission depends solely on students' college entrance exam score and their preferences, we found that gender difference in exam performance is an important factor, especially performance in math and science fields. Our results suggest that policies that can increase performance of female students to the level of male students can reduce the gender gap in engineering and technical science majors by half.

▼ Enrollments in postsecondary education have climbed steadily for more than 20 years. However, during this same time period, students enrolled in their school of first-choice in decreasing numbers. In fact, slightly more than 55% indicated they enrolled at their first-choice college in 2013 (Eagan, Lozano, Hurtado, & Case, 2013). Thus, more students are attending institutions where they did not, at least originally, plan to attend. This raises numerous questions for students, researchers, and administrators, and served as the impetus for this study. This dissertation investigated five separate research questions regarding the connections of attending a second- or later-choice college with student persistence and grade point average (GPA). Two separate research methodologies were employed - a qualitative analysis using focus groups with students who re-enrolled at a second- or later-choice college and a quantitative analysis of CIRP – The Freshman Survey responses. The study was conducted at a mid-size, open-admissions institution in the northeast portion of the United States. The institution offers more than 125 programs leading to certificate’s, associate’s, and bachelor’s degrees in the technical fields. A qualitative analysis uncovered a fledging framework that contributes to our overall understandings of the re-enrollment decision process for students at a second- or later-choice college. Focus group responses also revealed two significant motivators of re-enrollment – barriers to leaving and expected outcomes – that were previously not discussed in mainstream research. Finally, findings raised numerous questions concerning the concept of “first choice”. A quantitative analysis, using a different sample from the same institution, found no significant statistical differences between students at a first-choice college versus those at a second- or later-choice college in fall-to-fall retention, fall-to-spring retention, and grade point average. Implications for research, theory, public policy, and practice are discussed.

▼ One of the most common goals of political theory is to inform just choice; with ‘just choice’ referring to the class of practical, political decisions that result in society becoming more just. However, important questions can be asked about the best way political theory can perform this informing function. In this thesis I look to answer some of these questions through my defence of an ideal theory approach to just choice. This approach claims that ideals, that is, conceptions of the rules that would govern a fully just society, are necessary in order to arrive at just choices. I look to show the conditions ideal theory and ideals have to satisfy in order to perform this just choice informing role. In doing this this thesis underlabours for ideal theory by providing theoretical support for future substantive work in this area. This thesis proceeds as follows. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the structure of the thesis, the main areas of debate, and the implications of my research. Chapter 2 addresses the fundamental question discussed above, seeking to demonstrate that it is only when our choices are informed by ideals that we are consistently able to make just choices. Chapter 3 considers the distinction between short-term choice, which aims to make society immediately more similar to an ideal, and long-term choice, which aims to ultimately realise an ideal in full. I look to show the conditions that ideals have to satisfy in order to inform each type of just choice. Particularly important here are the feasibility conditions that have to be met by ideals that are to inform long-term choice. Chapter 4 considers a conundrum confronting those aiming to make just choices. All other things being equal long-term choice offers greater rewards than short-term choice does; however short-term choice is lower risk, requiring less investment of political resources such as time, labour, and money, and promising more likely returns on these investments. In this chapter I look to show the conditions that have to hold for it to be defensible to favour a long-term approach over a short-term approach. Chapter 5 considers whether the methods required of ideal theory, particularly the feasible ideal theory required of long-term choice, may be inherently contradictory. This is due to possible tensions between fact-sensitive and fact-insensitive aspects of the theorising process. In this chapter I look to show that this is not the case and that the ideal theory process is not contradictory. Chapter 6 summarises my key arguments and reflects on some of the main themes of this thesis.
