This paper empirically measures the bond between artists and their work. In a pre-registered vignette study, I investigate the impact of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the creation process on the relationship between artists and their creations. The study provides evidence for the personality-rights theory of copyright law, predominant in continental Europe, which emphasizes a close personal bond between creators and their ...

We investigate the stochastic transfer synchronization problem, which seeks to synchronize the timetables of different routes in a transit network to reduce transfer waiting times, delay times, and unnecessary in-vehicle times. We present a sophisticated two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming model that takes into account variability in passenger walking times between bus stops, bus running times, dwell times, and demand uncertainty. ...

We explore how emigration prospects influence students’ choice of university majors in a high-emigration setting. Using a discrete choice experiment in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we find that students prioritize salary prospects when choosing their major. Moreover, students—including those who do not intend to migrate—place significant weight on emigration prospects when choosing a major. This finding reveals how students factor emigration ...
