We develop a reputation model to study the concurrent use of trademarks and certification for food products with a regional identity, known as geographical indications (GIs). The model extends Shapiro’s (1983) approach to modeling reputation to a situation in which two technologies for the...

In a door-to-door fundraising field experiment, we study the impact of fundraising mechanisms on charitable giving. We approached about 4500 households, each participating in either an all-pay auction, a lottery, a non-anonymous voluntary contribution mechanism (VCM), or an anonymous VCM. In...

We present a new class of dynamic bargaining problems, called “bargaining problems with intertemporal maximin payoffs,” that may reflect sustainability problems having to encompass conflicting issues in the long-run. Each bargainer (or stake-holder) has a representative indicator, namely a function...

We follow the approach of Grochulski (2007), who determines the optimal income tax schedule when individuals have the possibility of avoiding paying income taxes. We however modify his model by considering a convex concealment cost function. This assumption violates the subadditivity property made...

Dans cet exposé, on se propose de montrer comment on peut résoudre des EDP à l'aide de théorèmes de point fixe. On utilisera le Théorème de l'application contractante pour établir l'existence et l'unicité de solution pour une équation de Schrödinger, et le Théorème de Schauder pour une autre...

Recent evidence on the impact of information provision on service delivery has been mixed, with overall outcomes even worsening in certain cases. We examine the market-wide impact of an intervention that provides school and child-level learning report cards in a randomly selected half of 112...

We consider a circular deconvolution problem, where the density f of a circular random variable X has to be estimated nonparametrically based on an iid. sample from a noisy observation Y of X. The additive measurement error is supposed to be independent of X. The objective of this paper is the...

Consider a seller of a divisible good, facing several identical buyers. The quality of the good may be low or high, and is the seller's private information. The seller has strictly convex preferences that satisfy a single-crossing property. Buyers compete by posting arbitrary menus of contracts....
