A Classroom Experiment on the Specific Factors Model

  Lin, Y. H.  (2021). A Classroom Experiment on the Specific Factors Model.  International Review of Economics Education , 100214.  [ downloadable ] (SSCI indexed) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.iree.2021.100214 Abstract This paper proposes a classroom experiment to illustrate the specific-factors model. In it, students act as decision-makers in an economy comprising two goods and three factors, and each is asked to maximize the value of marginal production by allocating his/her labor force between the two sectors. Through trading products, all players work as a whole economy in pursuit of higher welfare. From their individual perspectives, they can observe the impacts of relative price changes and international labor mobility on productivity and income distribution. The group perspective, meanwhile, reveals the gains arising from trade and welfare. Together with discussion of theoretical predictions, experimental results and case studies, this classroom experiment could foster better learn

The Impact of Enhancements to Weather-forecasting Services on Agricultural Investment Behavior: A Field Experiment in Taiwan

  Lin, Y.-H. ; Lin, H.-I.; Wen, F.-I., Sheu, S.-J. (2021) “The Impact of Enhancements to Weather-forecasting Services on Agricultural Investment Behavior: A Field Experiment in Taiwan”  Weather, Climate, and Society , Vol. 13(2), pages: 211–226 . DOI:  https://doi.org/10.1175/WCAS-D-20-0101.1  (SSCI/SCI indexed) Abstract A better understanding of farmers’ investment strategies associated with climate and weather is crucial to protecting farming and other climate-exposed sectors from extreme hydro-meteorological events. Accordingly, this study employed a field experiment to investigate the investment decisions under risk and uncertainty by 213 farmers from four regions of Taiwan. Each was asked 30 questions that paired “no investment”, “investment with crop insurance”, “investment with subsidized crop insurance”, and “investment” as possible responses. By providing imperfect information and various probabilities of certain states occurring, the experimental scenarios mimicked various ty

The Influence of Reciprocity on Individual Decisions in a Climate Coalition Experiment

Lin, Y.-H. (2020). “The Influence of Reciprocity on Individual Decisions in a Climate Coalition Experiment” The Journal of Business, Economics, and Environmental Studies, Vol. 10(2): 5-15. [ downloadable ] (KCI indexed) Abstract  Purpose : This study examines the impact of individual reciprocal preferences on coalition formation. The reciprocal model considers a player’s own payoff, the player’s perception of others’ payoffs, and others’ perceptions of the player’s payoff. Research design, data and methodology : A reciprocal model is built to illustrate how reciprocity influences individual decisions in a coalition game and its formation. The prediction is examined with experimental evidences from a dictator game and a membership game. Results : The theoretical result suggests that the coalition formation could be unstable due to negative reciprocal kindness. The experimental findings support that negative reciprocal kindness could lead players participating in a coalition, no m
