About this title

Synopsis

This study analyzes data that has been generated with a new computer program called ThESE (The Erasmus Simulation Environment), written by the author. ThESE is a simulation environment that models an artificial society of citizens who individually and repeatedly face a decision to comply with rules or transgress them. Rule transgression gives an economic advantage for citizens. However, a law-enforcement agency occasionally checks the behavior of the citizens, and those who do not comply are punished. Starting within an individual bounded rational decision framework, ThESE is designed to investigate the relation between individual assessments of the certainty of legal sanctions, locally determined informal sanctions, and aggregate outcomes. This simulation model in which individuals locally interact with each other allows for a dynamic interaction between the actual level of law-enforcement and individual assessments of it. Central to this study are the analyses of experiments carried out by the simulation model. After explaining the simulation model and analyzing several experiments, the scope and limitations of the simulation model and the relevance of the main results with regard to public policy are discussed.

Terms of Sale

If you plan to pay by check or money order, please do NOT make the check or money order payable to Mahler Books, or we will not be able to accept it. Please make checks or money orders payable to Erik R Magnuson. Books may be returned within 15 days for a full refund so long as they are in the same condition when sold.

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on standard-sized books weighing up to 4 LB, or 1.8 KG. If your book order is heavy and/or over-sized and the shipping address is OUTSIDE of The United States, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.

At Mahler Books, we make no attempt to over-charge for shipping. Sometimes International buyers are surprised to discover the high cost of shipping heavy or over-sized books.
If you are located OUTSIDE of The United States, and you are ordering a heavy or over-sized book, the shipping costs are estimated to be about 42 US dollars. This is the cost of the Global Priority Flat Rate Box. I agree that this shipping cost seems excessive, but this is what the Postal Service charges me, and this is the cheapest rate I have been able to locate for large books weighing over 1.8 KG.
