On Capturing Oil Rents with a National Excise Tax Revisited
2004
In this paper the scope of Bergstrom’s (1982) results is studied. Moreover, his analysis is extended assuming that extraction cost is directly related to accumulated extractions. For the case of a competitive market it is found that the optimal policy is a constant tariff if extraction is costless. However, with depletion effects, the optimal tariff must ultimately be decreasing. For the case of a monopolistic market the results depend crucially on the kind of strategies the importing country governments can play and on whether the monopolist chooses the price or extraction rate. For a price-setting monopolist it is shown that the importing countries cannot use a tariff to capture monopoly …

Transitions out of unemployment: The role of social networks' topology and firms' recruitment strategies
2011
In this paper we study the effects of job contact networks on out-of-unemployment transitions. We find that social connections produce sizable increases in upward mobility from unemployment and, caeteris paribus, symmetric network topologies perform better than asymmetric ones. Furthermore, in scale-free networks the probability of transitions out of unemployment increases in the exponent of the power-law degree distribution, but its value is much lower than the one attainable in Poisson random networks. In addition, and most interestingly, these results strongly depends on the different hypotheses on the firms' recruitment strategy.
Ethical dilemmas as professional challenge : case study on management in reception centers in Finland
2017
This study examined what kinds of ethical dilemmas managers working in reception centers in Finland have encountered as well as what kinds of strategies they applied in ethically challenging situations, and finally, what ethical dimensions the strategies included. This specific topic has not been investigated before, thus, this study aimed to theoretically and empirically examine it. Theoretical framework bases on Geva’s (2006) typology of ethical dilemmas, Jones’ (1991) issue- contingent model of moral intensity, and Rahim & Bonoma’s (1979) model of the styles of handling interpersonal conflict. The study is qualitative in nature, and was conducted by interviewing ten (10) managers working…
A Relational Approach to How Media Engage With Their Audiences in Social Media
2022
People are increasingly turning to social media for their news and for sharing and discussing news with others. Simultaneously, media organizations are becoming platform-dependent and posting short forms of their news on their social media sites in the hope that audiences will not only consume this news but also comment on and share it. This article joins other media and journalism studies exploring this phenomenon through a relational approach to media audiences to better understand how media organizations, particularly newspapers, are cultivating relationships with audiences via social media. Drawing on public relations theory about organization–public relationships, the article examines …
Strategie inwestycyjne i ich wpływ na wartość kapitału zgromadzonego w ramach III filara systemu emerytalnego
2016
Niekorzystne zmiany demograficzne oraz pesymistyczne prognozy dotyczące efektywności obowiązkowej części polskiego systemu emerytalnego powodują, że niezbędne jest dodatkowe oszczędzanie na okres starości. Tym samym rośnie znaczenie III filara systemu emerytalnego, jako dobrowolnej części systemu emerytalnego. Należy tu jednak pamiętać, że nie wystarczy tylko przystąpić do programu oszczędnościowego. Trzeba też tymi środkami zarządzać poprzez zastosowanie odpowiedniej strategii inwestycyjnej. Odpowiedniej, czyli takiej, która z jednej strony będzie zgodna z profilem inwestora, a z drugiej pozwoli na uzyskanie satysfakcjonującej dla uczestnika systemu stopy zwrotu z zainwestowanego kapitału.…

Crisis response strategies in Finland and Spain
2017
Crises are common in today's unpredictable environment rising the importance of crisis response strategies. Two societies in Europe are chosen: Finland, where trust in society is generalized to institutions, and Spain, where trust in society remains on the level of individuals. Using the results of the European Communication Monitor 2013 survey on crisis communication, we explored three hypotheses: “certain types of crises are often met with certain types of strategies,” “cultural context makes some crises more likely than others,” and “cultural context makes some response strategies more likely than others.” We find evidence for all three hypotheses and discuss our findings about perceived…
Samsung and Volkswagen Crisis Communication in Facebook and Twitter : A Comparative Study
2017
Since September 2015 at least two major crises have emerged where major industrial companies producing consumer products have been involved. In September 2015 diesel cars manufactured by Volkswagen turned out to be equipped with cheating software that caused NO2 and other emission values to be reduced to acceptable levels while tested from the real, unacceptable values in normal use. In August 2016 reports began to appear that the battery of a new smart phone produced by Samsung, Galaxy Note7, could begin to burn, or even explode, while the device was on. In Nov. 2016 also 34 washing machine models were reported to have caused damages due to disintegration. In all cases, the companies have …
