Depending on the degree of complementarity between local public goods, median voters strategically delegate policy to either `conservative...

We propose in this paper models that allow to predict land use (urban, agriculture, forests, natural grasslands and soil) at the points of the Teruti-Lucas survey from easily accessible covariates. Our approach involves two steps : first we model land use at the Teruti Lucas point level and second...

We consider the problem of land use prediction at di erent spatial scales using point level data such as the Teruti-Lucas (T-L hereafter1) survey and some explanatory variables. We analyze the components of the prediction error using a synthetic data set constructed from the Teruti-Lucas points in...

In a number of interesting environments, dynamic screening involves positive selection: in contrast with Coasian dynamics, only the most motivated remain over time. The paper provides conditions under which the principal's commitment optimum is time consistent and uses this result to derive...
