A large fraction of health care treatments are not urgent and may be delayed if patients so choose. Because insurance coverage is typically determined by the treatment date, individuals may have incentives to strategically delay treatments to minimize out-ofpocket costs. The strategic delay of...

The Hoeffding-Sobol representation (also called ANOVA decomposition or HDMR) of a multivariate function f is particularly interesting for analysing the influence of the variables on the response of f. For example, this representation plays a key role in global sensitivity analysis for the...

This paper investigates the effects of market size on the ability of price to aggregate traders’ private information. To account for heterogeneity in correlation of trader values, a Gaussian model of double auction is introduced that departs from the standard information structure based on a common...

Consider an economy populated by males and females, both rich and poor. The society has to choose one of the following marriage institutions: polygyny, strict monogamy, and serial monogamy (divorce and remarriage). After having identified the conditions under which each of these equilibria exists,...

We study the relation between firm growth and optimal managerial contracting under moral hazard when a long-lived firm is operated by a sequence of managers. In our model, firms replace their managers not only upon poor performance to provide incentives, but also when outside managers are at a...

We consider a model of vertical competition where retailers purchase an upstream input from a monopolist and are able to differentiate from each other in terms of quality. Our primary focus is to study the price, quality and welfare effects of introducing a large retailer, such as Costco or a Wal-...

We examine the provision of insurance against non observable liquidity shocks for a time-inconsistent (hyperbolic) agent. This issue can be phrased as an optimal control problem, with mixed constraints and monotonicity condition on the control, and can be solved either when lack of self control is...

This paper proposes a new form of estimating industry conduct. As an identification strategy, I use the structural ownership changes that occur due to a merger. Using both pre-merger and post-merger industry data, I look for the form of conduct that best predicts the market outcome both before and...
