“…Therefore, we conclude that the liberalization of Sunday blue laws had no discernible long-term consequences for the economic outcomes of the average liquor store in Connecticut. These results contribute to the ongoing policy discussions surrounding Sunday blue laws and their implications for the liquor retail sector (Kshetri and Bebenroth, 2012).…”

This study examines the impact of repealing Sunday blue laws on alcohol sales and retail competition, focusing on Connecticut’s 2012 policy change allowing Sunday beer sales in grocery stores. Using nationwide data from 2004 to 2021, we find a short-term increase in beer sales post-policy change, but no significant long-term economic effects on grocery and liquor stores. Our analysis also shows similar treatment effects for chain and standalone liquor retailers, suggesting limited lasting implications for the liquor retail industry’s performance and conduct after Sunday sale restrictions were lifted.

“…Besides, 35% of Greek pensioners receive a second pension, and 12% of them receive even a third pension (Blitz, 2014; GR Reporter, 2014). Retail expenditures per capita are higher in Greece than in Bulgaria, related to economic freedom, access and availability (Kshetri & Bebenroth, 2012). These differences in the standard reflect on the attitudes towards the past.…”

Sentimentality and nostalgia are two similar psychological constructs, which play an important role in the emotional lives of elderly people who are usually focused on the past. There are two objectives of this study - making cross-cultural comparison of sentimentality and nostalgia among Bulgarian and Greek elderly people using a questionnaire, and establishing the psychometric properties of this questionnaire among Greek elderly people. Sentimentality and nostalgia in elderly people in Bulgaria and Greece were studied by means of Sentimentality and Nostalgia in Elderly People questionnaire (SNEP), created by Gergov and Stoyanova (2013). For the Greek version, one factor structure without sub-scales is proposed, while for the Bulgarian version of SNEP the factor structure had four sub-scales, besides the total score. Together with some similarities (medium level of nostalgia and sentimentality being widespread), the elderly people in Bulgaria and Greece differed cross-culturally in their sentimentality and nostalgia related to the past in direction of more increased sentimentality and nostalgia in the Bulgarian sample. Some gender and age differences revealed that the oldest male Bulgarians were the most sentimental. The psychometric properties of this questionnaire were examined for the first time in a Greek sample of elders and a trend was found for stability of sentimentality and nostalgia in elderly people that could be studied further in longitudinal studies.

Purpose: This paper examines the technological, market, industry and institutional sources associated with the cross-national heterogeneity in e-retail spending.Design/methodology/approach: We used time series cross sectional (TSCS) models linear in parameters for 10 year data from 43 countries to test our hypotheses.Findings: We found that how broadband Internet is accessed, identified as an important determinant of an economy's "e-readiness", explains international heterogeneity in e-retail spending. We also found various specific attributes of the traditional retail environment that produce enhancing effects as well as suppressing effects for e-retail spending. Finally, we also found regulatory forces' impacts on the development of the e-retail industry.Research limitations/implications: Due to the unavailability of reputable data, we could not include many economies at the bottommost of the global economic pyramid.Originality/value: To our knowledge, this is the first study focusing on cross-national heterogeneity in e-retailing in a range of economies. We used the economic theory of complementarities as the theoretical framework. We identified various activities and resources in the e-retail ecosystems that may produce positive and negative synergies in the development of the e-retail industry.
