We study pre-contractual arrangement (PCA) offers by an upstream monopolist supplier, such as the exclusivity and contingency of contracts to be signed between the supplier and two vertically differentiated downstream firms. PCAs are increasingly considered binding in Courts, creating strategic...

Multivariate regular variation is an important property of a multivariate probability distribution that can be very useful in extreme value statistics. Therefore it is desirable to check this property based on a multivariate random sample. We construct a hypothesis test for multivariate regular...

In survey sampling one samples n individuals from a fixed population of size N according to some sampling design, and for each individual in the sample one observes the value of a particular quantity. On the basis of the observed sample, one is interested in estimating population features of this...

We provide new empirical evidence for the way in which financial markets process information. Our results are based on high-frequency intraday data along with new econometric techniques for making inference on the relationship between trading intensity and spot volatility around public news...

Disagreements over long-term projects can often be traced to assumptions about the discount rate. The debate in economics over climate change is a case in point. We propose a theory of intertemporal choice that is robust to specific assumptions on the discount rate. Our discussion is centered...

This article explores how the possibility of collusion affects relational contracts. Responsibility for a contract is delegated to a supervisor who cares about both production and kickbacks paid by the agents, neither of which are contractible. We characterize the optimal supervisor-agent...
