This paper shows that market power in a final market confers buyer power in intermediate markets, and leads to quantity discounts for large buyers. Then it is also shown that buyer power gives incentives to create a dominant firm downstream through the acquisition of capacity of already existing...

Parmi les outils les plus classiques de l’Analyse Multivariée, les Composantes Principales sont aussi un des plus anciens puisqu’elles furent introduites il y a plus de cent ans par Pearson (1901) et redécouvertes ensuite par Hotelling (1933).

Conventional Bayesian rationality predicts that heterogeneous beliefs among agents will always converge as agents keep learning. In this paper I show that common learning will fail if agents have limited learning capacity. One agent's constrained optimal learning depends on his prior belief. Namely...

We propose methods to estimate resource shares of individuals in collective households that do not require restrictions on individual preferences, but rather rely on the existence of distribution factors. We provide theorems that show identification of the distribution of these resource shares....

Using comprehensive administrative data on France's single largest financial aid program, this paper provides new evidence on the impact of large-scale need-based grant programs on the college enrollment decisions, persistence and graduation rates of low-income students. We exploit sharp...

This article asks when communication with certifiable information leads to complete information revelation. We consider Bayesian games augmented by a pre-play communication phase in which announcements are made publicly. We first characterize the augmented games in which there exists a fully...

Howdo reductions in barriers to international trade affect aggregate economic growth andwelfare? We develop a novel dynamic model of growth and trade, driven by technology adoption, to better understand the interaction between technology diffusion, openness, and growth. In themodel, heterogeneous...

Antitrust authorities typically try to establish exclusivity and the anticompetitiveness of loyalty rebates through pricing, but do not address the strategic use of advertising and, more generally, marketing campaigns. In this paper we focus on non-price anticompetitive behavior arising from...
