No 375001, Competition & Regulation Times from New Zealand Institute for the Study of Competition and Regulation

Abstract: The act of tipping is very much a novelty to most New Zealanders - reserved only for truly exceptional service or the most exclusive restaurants.

Steen Videbeck's been looking at some of the economic research on tipping.
