Non-market economics

especially in the formation of relationships, but the Meriam people do not share this belief. Jaeggi and Gurven (2013) looked at food sharing as a way to reduce risks in humans and non-human primates. They looked at a few factors that might lead to a person being more willing to reciprocate or engage in food sharing. They found that both humans and non-human primates were more likely to approach long-term allies to engage in food sharing, reciprocal behaviors. They also found that food sharing is most likely to be initiated by the recipients. Therefore, the perceived values of reciprocation take precedent to the actual act of reciprocating or the symbolic/social capital that one might receive from reciprocating. Jaeggi and Gurven (2013) also note throughout their paper that food sharing acts as a risk buffer in many cases, and that it helps to reduce the potential costs that each participant might have otherwise. Thereby, stating that through food sharing human and non-human primates are engaging in risk reduction reciprocity. Pomianek et al. (2012) looks at the free rider as a role of cultural tradition and how they are identified and sanctioned. This will be beneficial to understand more about the previously discussed paper. Free riders are, "those who reap the benefits of collective action in social and economic exchanges while paying few or none of the costs” (Pomianek et al., 2012, p. 2). Through this definition, it is easier to understand why they might perceive this…

technology from written language, government to man-made objects are merely the product of culture (anthro.palomar.edu). Artifacts discovered are the reflection of the knowledge and skills of the culture. Without a knowledge of the culture the use of discovered artifacts have little meaning. Observing the culture first hand allows for a better understanding of reciprocity process, market system, kinship, and artifacts. Choosing a location would be more difficult than anticipated. A simple store…

1) The Austronesian languages are spoken throughout Southeast Asia, Madagascar and the islands of the Pacific Ocean. I believe the language started to spread in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia and the Philippians and made its way to Madagascar. Because most of these countries are islands the language would have distributed by traveling, trading, and immigrating 2) Participant observation has both its pros and cons. One of the strengths of this approach is that the researcher who does the…

an equally efficient and accurate search engine akin to Google, Google would likely limits its push of search into the English market. Rather, Google, and firms in a similar situation, look for markets that lack established rivals and allow easier entry into the market. This similarly ties in with threats to new entrants. Countries that have high barriers to entry, be it well-established firms/rivals, high tariffs on imports/exports, increased scrutiny of international firms, etc. dissuade new…

In this employment policy the topics of compensation, performance appraisals, and what is expected need to be addressed. Compensation for the successor needs to be market based, even if it is a family member. Some of the things that need to be considered when discussing compensation are: what are other executives with similar experience and education being paid in organizations that are similar, what other forms of compensation are similar companies giving executives, is it possible to lower the…

model is scalable due to which they were able to expand into so many countries in such a short period of time. However, it is fairly simple, easily replicable. • Groupon is more or less an aggregator platform for a two sided market and it cannot sustain unless both of the parties are benefited. • In the long run the fact that even after high discounts, half of a merchant’s profit and non-returning customers, decline in quality of services might hamper its growth as merchants might get…
