Publication Introduction to the Special Issue on Leadership, Altruism, and Social Organization(2010-08) Chander, P.; Conley, J.P.; Vesterlund, L.; ECONOMICSThe objective of the conference on " Leadership, Altruism, and Social Organization" was to bring researchers together who were interested in exploring the functioning of the nonprofit sector. The conference and this special issue focus on three themes. First, what causes social and volunteer-based organizations to successfully compete against a private enterprise? Second, why do individuals or organizations take the lead in providing or securing provision of public goods? Third, what are the consequences of having altruistically motivated agents, and how can such motives be sustained?. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Publication Technology adoption, education and immigration policy(2004) Chander, P.; Thangavelu, S.M.; ECONOMICSThis paper explores a two-period model with complementarities between investment in/adoption of new technologies and human capital accumulation/investment in education. Workers invest in education in the first period and in the second period, entrepreneurs decide whether or not to adopt a new technology. Multiple rational expectation equilibria exist: if workers believe that a large (small) fraction of entrepreneurs will adopt the new technology next period, then their return to education will be high (low) and accordingly the level of investment in education will be high (low) too. Equivalently, entrepreneurs will adopt the new technology if the level of education is sufficiently high. Two policies are considered for ensuring that a welfare improving high-technology equilibrium will prevail, namely educational subsidies and immigration of high-skilled workers. A key result is that a commitment to immigration of high-skilled is sufficient to ensure new technology adoption.©2004 Elsevier B.V.
