This Handbook presents insights from the expanding field of
behavioral economics. The unique collective volume integrates
behavioral concepts into the study of industrial organization to
enhance understanding and interest in the subject. The Handbook of
Behavioral Industrial Organization explores numerous critical
topics including relative thinking, salience, shrouded attributes,
overconfidence, status quo bias, identity and motivated reasoning
(including cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias). Each of
these behavioral concepts is linked to industrial organization and
considers multiple industries in order to present a well-rounded
and composite approach. Additional chapters focus on industry
issues such as the sports and gambling industries, neuroeconomic
studies of brands and advertising, and behavioral antitrust law.
Throughout the Handbook authors use a variety of research methods
such as literature surveys, experimental and econometric research,
and theoretical modelling to promote accessibility to a wide
audience. Researchers, academics and economists in the fields of
behavioral economics, industrial organization, regulation and
consumer psychology will find this book stimulating and useful.

Ubiquitous illegal lotteries known as policy flourished in
Chicago's Black community during the overlapping waves of the Great
Migration. Policy "queens" owned stakes in lucrative operations
while women writers and clerks canvased the neighborhood, passed
out winnings, and kept the books. Elizabeth Schroeder Schlabach
examines the complexities of Black women's work in policy gambling.
Policy provided Black women with a livelihood for themselves and
their families. At the same time, navigating gender expectations,
aggressive policing, and other hazards of the infromal economy led
them to refashion ideas about Black womanhood and respectability.
Policy earnings also funded above-board enterprises ranging from
neighborhood businesses to philanthropic institutions, and
Schlabach delves into the various ways Black women straddled the
illegal policy business and reputable community involvement. Vivid
and revealing, Dream Books and Gamblers tells the stories of Black
women in the underground economy and how they used their work to
balance the demands of living and laboring in Black Chicago.
Rapid fertility declines and improved longevity are now shifting
the overall balance of population towards older ages in many parts
of the world. Within this growing population of older people there
are many groups with particular needs about which relatively little
is known. This collection focuses on one such sub-population, the
elderly without children. Few would deny that childlessness poses
potential human and welfare problems for older people without them.
What is less well known is that comparative anthropological and
historical demographic research indicates that childlessness is a
recurring social phenomenon that has affected 1 in 5 older women in
many cultures and historical periods. High levels of childlessness
arise not solely or primarily from biological factors like primary
sterility, but from a combination of actors. Many, like
non-marriage, delayed childbearing , and pathological sterility,
reflect the interaction of social and biological influences. Also
of major importance are factors that remove the support of children
from elders' lives: migration, mortality, divorce, remarriage,
family enmity, social mobility, and the pressing demands of family
and career on younger generations. The papers collected in this
volume employ a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods to
define and characterize the experience of ageing without children.
