This paper studies dynamic procurement design and the effect of fundamental differences in the way firms fund their market participation on this design. In a two-period model, at each period a procurement contract splits the production of a good between two firms and both sole and dual sourcing are...

In Australia, on the 3rd of March 2009, the interchange fees on shared ATM transactions were removed and replaced by fees directly set and received by the ATM owners. We develop a model to study how the entry of independent ATM deployers (IADs) affects welfare under this direct charging scheme....

This paper studies the impact of an increase in local leader accountability within an authoritarian regime by examining the effect of the introduction of village level elections in rural China. We collect a unique nationwide survey on the history of electoral reforms in 217 rural Chinese villages (...

We study a general equilibrium model with production where financial markets are incomplete. At a competitive equilibrium firms take their production and financial decisions so as to maximize their value. We show that shareholders unanimously support value maximization. Furthermore, competitive...

I study the time-inconsistency problem of financial bailouts when entrepreneurs (banks) correlate their aggregate risk exposure, events of "liquidity evaporation" may be triggered during financial distress, and the authority internalizes the future effects of its policies. I find that supporting...

The results of a lab experiment detailing consumers’ valuations for the environment are used for estimating the welfare impact of a tax, a minimum-quality standard, and a label. Two approaches using consumers’ valuations from the same experiment are considered for estimating welfare changes. The...

This paper considers an empirical semiparametric model for two sided markets. Contrary to existing empirical literature on two sided markets, we do not rely on linear network effects and we specify them nonparametrically. The probability distribution functions of the two sides are not specified...

This paper studies the distribution of welfare effects when individual demands are characterized by a nonseparable model which is monotonic in unobserved heterogeneity. First, we provide and discuss conditions under which the heterogeneous welfare effects are identified. We then propose a sample...
