vessel noise effects on baleen whale bioenergetics

baleen whales are mega predators that shape the ecosystem structure and maintain healthy marine environments a decrease in their populations can therefore have cascading trophic impacts detrimental to marine ecosystems they inhabit the marine soundscape has dramatically changed since the industrial revolution with increasing traffic ship noise has become the most ubiquitous and pervasive source of anthropogenic noise in the ocean baleen whales rely heavily on acoustic cues for interpreting and exploring the marine environment however they hear best and produce sound at the same frequencies where cargo ships make the most noise which makes them potentially the most sensitive species to vessel noise disturbance numerous studies have documented shortterm adverse effects on baleen whales exposed to vessel noise including changes in behaviour and decreases andor cessations in foraging however there is a lack quantitative data on i the specific noise levels that trigger changes in behaviour and ii how these noiseinduced behavioural changes impact the fitness of the exposed individuals through vessel i propose to fill these important knowledge gaps by applying an innovative combination of stateoftheart tagging technology and noise analysis to for the first time in baleen whales i quantify received noise levels on the animal and ii estimate a doseresponse relationship between vessel noise levels and the energy budget of the exposed individuals the outcomes of vessel will be crucial to parameterize populationconsequence of disturbance pcod models that link disturbance parameters to fitness and population dynamics importantly vessel will be of direct relevance to the management of underwater noise levels in eu marine waters by providing evidentbased estimates of critical noise thresholds for the fitness of baleen whales that will set thresholds for good environmental status ges
biases in prospective learning and dynamic choice

many important economic decisions are made after individuals have had opportunities to acquire information for example investors can do research about the fundamentals of companies to estimate their future stock prices consumers can read reviews before making purchase decisions managers can experiment with different organizational structures before settling on one as information acquisition is costly decisionmakers must evaluate its benefit ex ante by engaging in prospective learning that is by trying to predict the amount of information they will receiveprospect aims to investigate experimentally whether individuals are able to correctly assess the benefits of future information acquisition and to use this information proactively when making dynamic choices the main objective is to uncover some potential fundamental biases in dynamic decisionmaking such as a tendency to acquire too little information and to underexperiment relative to the rational benchmark in part 1 i aim to identify biases in prospective learning the key question is whether individuals are able to correctly forecast the amount of information that a given reallife event reveals part 1a will study finance professionals ability to prospectively learn from market prices and part 1b will investigate whether the general population is able to extract information from past economic events to better predict future economic eventspart 2 studies how individuals take prospective considerations into account when solving dynamic decision problems in parts 2a and 2b i will characterize whether they experiment as much as economic models predict they should and study two candidate microfoundations for insufficient experimentation part 2c revisits an old idea in behavioral economics according to which prospective thinking is key to achieving selfcontrol
causes and consequences of labor market flexibility

globalization and technological change have transformed the workplace and the organization of labor at the core of these major developments is the degree of flexibility in the labor market alternative work arrangements eg outsourcing subcontracting flexible scheduling and flexible pay jobs have become a common feature of labor markets across the globe while most economists would argue that labor market flexibility facilitates reaping the benefits of globalization and technology growth these developments can have far reaching consequences for the division of resources in society indeed the recent decades have witnessed a sharp rise in wage inequality labflex is motivated by these developments and seeks to investigate the causes and consequences of labor market flexibilitylabflex raises a series of questions do differences in job contracts reflect shifts in worker preferences or do they mirror advances in technology that facilitate gains from organizing job tasks differently what are the impacts of flexibility in job contracts on wage inequality and gender wage gaps are workers being compensated for the adverse work conditions or the higher income risks or do changes in job contracts reflect changes in the sharing of rents between workers and firms how do labor market institutions affect flexibility and what is the role of labor market policiesto answer these questions labflex will for the firsttime link register data to largescale experimental evidence on workers stated preferences for a wide array of work and pay arrangements and an exhaustive fulltext corpus of vacancies with information on job attributes this will allow drawing a very detailed picture of both the supply and the demand side of the labor market facilitating a study of flexibility in job contracts combining these data with experimental and structural methods labflex will provide new evidence on the causes and consequences of labor market flexibility
