Firms often sell a basic good as well as ancillary ones. Hold-up concerns have led to ancillary good regulations such as transparency and price caps. The hold-up narrative, however, runs counter to evidence in many retail settings where ancillary good prices are set below cost (e.g. free shipping,...

This paper studies the impact of a country's extra-financial performance on its sovereign bond spreads. Sovereign bond spreads reflect both an economic default risk and a strategic default risk. We hypothesize that a country's extra-financial performance reduces default risk by signalling good...

In tribute to Jules Dupuit, this study analyzes how the innovative financing tax for development has influenced the competition among airline companies and to what extent it affected their sales. To do so, we specify an econometric model where the representative consumer chooses the utility...

We discuss what makes a “good” environmental nudge from the policy maker’s point of view. We first delineate what is paternalistic about environmental nudges. We then discuss the effectiveness of nudges, including their paradoxical effects on the targeted behaviour, as well as possible collateral...

We introduce a novel approach addressing global analysis of a difficult class of nonconvexnonsmooth optimization problems within the important framework of Lagrangian-based methods. This genuine nonlinear class captures many problems in modern disparate fields of applications. It features complex...

This paper reports that the econometric findings of Azam & Thelen (2010) remain valid when the sample is extended by 10 years to cover 1990–2014 in Azam & Thelen (2018). They blame the presence of US troops in oil-exporting countries and their neighbors for increasing transnational...

Discrete structures like graphs make it possible to naturally and exibly model complex phenomena. Since graphs that represent various types of information are increasingly available today, their analysis has become a popular subject of research. The graphs studied in the field of data science at...
