In clinical studies of hematologic and oncologic diseases, the outcomes of interest are generally composite time to event endpoints which are usually defined by occurrence of different event types. Nonetheless, clinicians are interested in studying only one event type, which leads to a competing...

In a market where sellers solicit certification to overcome asymmetric infor-mation, we show that the profit of a monopolistic certifier can be hump-shaped in itsreputation for accuracy: a higher accuracy attracts high-quality sellers but sometimesrepels low-quality sellers. As a consequence,...

In this paper, ambiguity aversion to uncertain survival probabilities is introduced in a life-cycle model with a bequest motive to study the optimal demand for annuities. Provided that annuities return is sufficiently large, and notably when it is fair, positive annuitization is known to be the...

For displacement convex functionals in the probability space equipped with the Monge-Kantorovich metric we prove the equivalence between the gradient and functional type Łojasiewicz inequalities. We also discuss the more general case of λ-convex functions and we provide a general convergence...

In this paper, we empirically analyze the French print media market by modeling the existence of a reciprocal effect between the size of the readership and the amount of advertising. For this two-sided platform, we measure the cross-effects of advertising on the readership and periodical popularity...

Many quality signals—both private and public—have been used to foster the development of food quality in the agro-food markets: mainly brands and common certified labels. Previous research has typically focused on either brand or certified label efficiency independently, while in many instances...
