We measure how pass-through varies with competition in isolated oligopolistic markets. Using daily pricing data from gas stations, we study how unexpected and exogenous changes in excise duties (different across different petroleum products) is passed-through to retail prices on islands with...

Nous nous intéressons ici à la question de l’évaluation théorique des procédures de tests multiples. Si de nombreux critères d’évaluation liés à l’erreur de première espèce ont été définis dans la littérature des tests multiples, essentiellement à partir du critère historique qu’est le Family-Wise...

Well-functioning courts are essential for upholding the rule of law and underpinning markets. Using data from Mexico’s largest labor court, we document delays, overconfidence, and low settlement rates. In this context we conduct an experiment, providing personalized outcome predictions and...

We study the extent to which a collective reputation negates the benefits from pooling reputations across different markets. Modelling reputation in an infinitely repeated hidden action game with imperfect monitoring, we show that pooling reputations is beneficial when reputation is not collective...

In this forthcoming working paper we consider nonparametric estimation of density and conditional expectation functions for dyadic random variables, i.e., random variables defined for all pairs of individuals/nodes in a network of size N. These random variables are assumed to satisfy a “local...

We document a novel bidding pattern observed in procurement auctions from Japan: winning bids tend to be isolated. This bidding pattern is suspicious in the following sense: it is inconsistent with competitive behavior under arbitrary infor- mation structures. Building on this observation, we...

We explore the implications of ownership concentration for the recently-concluded incentive auction that re-purposed spectrum from broadcast TV to mobile broadband usage in the U.S. We document significant multi-license ownership of TV stations. We show that in the reverse auction, in which TV...

In this paper, we study how the regulator expands production possibilities of the economy by assigning a standard-essential status to patents. Firstly, we show that productivity-enhancing standards tend to adversely affect the endogenous economic growth. This is due to the pace of discovery of new...
