On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Despite extensive evidence that preferences are often time-inconsistent, there is scarce evidence of willingness to pay for commitment. Multiple experimental designs in the Kenyan dairy sector show that: i) farmers are willing to pay sizable costs for infrequent payments, which provide commitment to save for lumpy expenses; ii) imperfect contract enforcement limits competition among buyers in the supply of infrequent payments; iii) in such a market, producers’ supply responses to price increases depend on both buyer credibility and payment frequency. Infrequent payments for frequently supplied goods and services are widespread and may provide stronger and more natural commitment than financial products not tied to income sources.
