Second-Hand Stress: Neurobiological Evidence for a Human Alarm Pheromone

Alarm pheromones are airborne chemical signals, released by an individual into the environment, which transmit warning of danger to conspecifics via olfaction. Using fMRI, we provide the first neurobiological evidence for a human alarm pheromone. Individuals showed activation of the amygdala in response to sweat produced by others during emotional stress, with exercise sweat as a control; behavioral data suggest facilitated evaluation of ambiguous threat

Second-Hand Markets and Collusion byManufacturers of Semidurable Goods

The focus of the present work is to study the impact of the second-hand market the collusivebehavior. I analyze firms' preferences for having an active second-hand market and whetherpolicies (i.e. leasing policy, buy-back policy and warranty policy) that affect the functioningof the second-hand market strengthen collusion. I show how collective incentives to adoptstrategies that strengthen collusion often differ from monopoly incentives to achieve higherprofits.Bertrand competition, buy-back policies, collusion, leasing, semi-durability,second-hand market, warranty.

Second Hand Clothing Acquisition: Demographic and Psychographic Characteristics of the Second Hand Shopper

Understanding sustainability as it relates to second hand clothing acquisition can play an important role in decreasing the total amount of waste that ends up in the landfill. Americans generated a total of 250 million tons of trash in 2010 and in contrast recycled only 85 million tons of waste. Approximately 13 million tons of textiles were discarded during the same period but only 1.3 million tons were recycled (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2012). A focus on maximizing clothing usefulness and lengthening life span could significantly decrease the amount of textiles that end up in landfills

Buying for baby: How middle-class mothers negotiate risk with second-hand goods

Focusing on the mother as consumer as well as carer, this chapter considers mothers’ co-consuming practices related to used/second-hand baby goods purchased at nearly new sales. Citing second-hand consumption as an intimate and risky practice, the material negotiations and risk reduction strategies practiced by middle-class mothers as they engage in consuming second-hand baby items are discussed
