Private primary care providers routinely account for more than 50 percent of first-contacts in low-income settings, rising to 80 percent in countries like India. The majority of these providers operate in single provider clinics with little regulatory oversight or government subsidies. No patients...

We estimate a model of strategic voting with incomplete information in which committee members - judges in the US courts of appeals - have the opportunity to communicate before casting their votes. The model is characterized by multiple equilibria, and partial identification of model parameters....

We discuss the Bolza and the Mayer problems arising in optimal control which are of great interest in all models involving dynamic optimization. The main frame is to minimize a functional under a dynamic constraint which involves controls, that is parameters depending on time. Such models do...

A key obstacle to coordination and cooperation in many networked environments is that behavior in each bilateral relationship is not observable to individuals outside that relationship: that is, information is local. This paper investigates when players can use communication to replicate any...

We analyze a large merger in the Swedish market for analgesics (painkillers). We confront the predictions from a merger simulation study, initiated during the investigation, with the actual merger effects over a two-year comparison window. The merger simulation model predicted a large price...

Theory shows that the non-exclusivity of financial contracts generates important negative contractual externalities. Employing a unique dataset, we identify how these externalities affect credit availability. Using internal information on a creditor’s willingness to lend, we find that a creditor...
