Abstract

Work time standardization helps to find and reduce wasteful movements and time in the workplace, such as chatting, mobile phone use, insufficient rest, or unproductive tasks. This study aims to map the process of displaying products from the warehouse to the shelves and calculate and determine the standard working time of employees of the Operations Division of PT XYZ Branch who oversee displaying X Milk and Y Bread. The data was collected six times in three weeks, including interviews and observations, and took a sample of 20 pieces on each product to carry out data analysis such as data sufficiency tests and control charts. Several time deviations were found in the display process of X Milk products on all observation days in different activities. Whereas in the process of displaying Y Bread, only the deviation of working time was found on the 4th observation day, which proves that the process needs to have a standard working time so that the activity work time is more controlled. Therefore, the analysis is carried out with the calculation of performance rating, time allowance, normal time, and standard time. The result of the standard time calculation for the display process of X Milk products is 15.83 minutes and Y Bread is 9.18 minutes for each product of 20 units.

Access to Live AI Advice and Behavior Under Risk: An Incentivized Experiment

Generative AI has become an everyday advisor, and the systems people consult are live and interactive, not pre-scripted. We ask whether access to such a system changes behavior under risk. In an incentivized experiment (N = 158), participants made lottery choices with an optional decision aid presented as a conventional pre-written tool, a live one-shot AI, or a live interactive AI they could query, with information format held equivalent across conditions. Risk preferences are elicited via DOSE. We find no evidence that access to a live AI advisor changes risk aversion.

Bricks or Cash? Externalities of Housing Upgrading in High-density Cities

We estimate housing externalities in a high-density city, exploiting the staggered rollout of Singapore's nationwide Main Upgrading Programme for public housing. Controlling for nonrandom neighborhood exposure, we find that upgrading raises treated buildings' prices by 11.5% upon completion and neighboring buildings' resale prices by about 2% within 500 meters, decaying to zero beyond. A model with distance-decaying externalities shows that in dense settings spillovers justify the distortions of in-kind provision; this advantage diminishes and reverses at lower densities. Administrative data on over 2 million residents show that upgrading disproportionately retains older incumbents, suggesting age-specific amenities as an underexplored externality channel.

The Joneses Visit an Economics Lab

Existing literature offers persuasive evidence that individuals care about how their consumption compares to that of peers, and proposes a large variety of explanatory models. The present paper proposes a common framework for many of those models, and compares their ability to predict behavior in a laboratory experiment. We find evidence of Keeping up with the Joneses motivations but also find that conspicuous consumption is enhanced by Veblen motivations arising from peers' ability to observe one's own choice. Among the seven quasi-linear preference models we compare, our data are best explained by a model that contrasts envy and pride (upward vs downward comparisons) using a value function borrowed from Prospect Theory.
