We analyze reputation games where a strategic long-run player acts in a repeated game against a collection of short-lived (myopic) Bayesian players: An infinite horizon discounted payoff optimal strategy for the long-run player is obtained through a control theoretic approach. A dynamic programming...

We study a modelization of long term yield curves. Inspired by the economic litterature, we provide a financial interpretation of the Ramsey rule that links discount rate and marginal utility of aggregate optimal consumption. For such a long term modelization, the possibility of adjusting...

We examine the vertical transmission of overweight drawing upon a sample of English children, both adopted and non-adopted, and their families. Our results suggest strong evidence of an intergenerational association of overweight among adoptees, indicating transmission through cultural factors. We...

To date, whether competition law enforcement is indeed beneficial for the economy still remains a questionable topic. In the majority of jurisdiction collusive practices that aim at fixing either prices or market shares are considered as damaging per se as firms get an opportunity to block the...

We analyse linear models between functional variables. We first recall the main results about unconstrained models estimated by penalized OLS but we will concentrate the presentation on convolution models defined as constrained specifications. In the network example convolution models means that...

Random forests are a learning algorithm proposed by Breiman (2001)which combines several randomized decision trees and aggregates theirpredictions by averaging. Despite its wide usage and outstanding prac-tical performance, little is known about the mathematical propertiesof the procedure. This...

We study implementation with privately informed agents who can produce evidence. We define evidence based mechanisms as mechanisms such that the designer’s contingent plan of action is consistent with available evidence, and characterize the social choice functions that are straightforwardly...
