It is well established that horizontal cross-ownership may decrease competition. One reason is that cross-ownership enables information- and profit sharing, which increases the prospects for collusion. Another reason is that cross-ownership may induce unilateral incentives to reduce output, which...

This paper examines the historical impact of railroads on the American economy. Expansion of the railroad network may have affected all counties directly or indirectly – an econometric challenge that arises in many empirical settings. However, the total impact on each county is captured by changes...

Firms make forward-looking decisions based on latent technological states. While the true state is not observed by econometricians, the literature provides ways to construct proxies. For dynamic discrete choice models of forward-looking firms where a continuous state variable is unobserved but its...

We study a 2-sided labor market with a set of heterogeneous firms and workers in an environment where jobs are secured by regulation. Without job security Kelso and Crawford have shown that stable outcomes and efficiency prevail when all workers are (weak) gross substitutes to each firm, in the...

Une question fondamentale en théorie des jeux (et en économie): quel concept de solution/équilibre est le résultat d'un processus naturel d'apprentissage par les joueurs? Depuis, plusieurs dynamiques (en temps continu) ont été introduites et étudiées pour les jeux finis en stratégies mixtes. Celles...

Mass public attitudes toward foreign policy lie at the intersection of international relations and political behaviour. Recently, there has been renewed interest within the broader field of political behaviour in the effects of individual personality differences on mass political behaviour....

This paper analyzes the life-cycle career costs associated with child rearing and decomposes their effects into unearned wages (as women drop out of the labor market), loss of human capital, and selection into more child-friendly occupations. We estimate a dynamic life-cycle model of fertility,...

Estimation of support frontiers and boundaries often involves monotone and/or concave edge data smoothing. This estimation problem arises in various unrelated contexts, such as optimal cost and production assessments in econometrics and master curve prediction in the reliability programs of...

We consider a model of price competition and collusion with private monitoring. The sellers have homogeneous good, and the buyer has a unit demand every period over an infinite horizon. The buyer's valuation is his private information, and the sellers start with a common prior. The seller only...
