Certification schemes for credence goods can be binary in structure or have multiple tiers. We present a theory explaining how standard-setting organizations choose between these two forms, and compare the differing incentives of industry trade associations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs...

Ces travaux portent sur l’étude d’un problème inverse de détection en utilisant en particulier l’optimisation de formes. Dans un premier temps, nous cherchons à localiser un objet immergé dans un fluide visqueux, incompressible et stationnaire. Nous nous intéressons à la question de l’...

This paper studies the role of employer behavior in generating "negative duration dependence" -the adverse effect of a longer unemployment spell -by sending fictitious resumes to real job postings in 100 U.S. cities. Our results indicate that the likelihood of receiving a callback for an interview...

Mixed and pure equilibria are characterized for a duopoly model of simultaneous quality improvement followed by price competition in a market with limited consumer heterogeneity. In the second stage Bertrand equilibrium, the higher-quality firm captures the entire market, earning a profit...
