Using a large sample of U.S. cross-listings, we show that cross-listed firms have a higher sensitivity of corporate investment to stock price than non cross-listed firms. This difference materializes after foreign firms access the U.S. markets (as it does not exist before) and is persistent. These...

We consider a monopolistic supplier’s optimal choice of wholesale tariffs when downstream firms are privately informed about their retail costs. The existing literature typically ignores the possibility of downstream firms having private information. Under discriminatory pricing, downstream firms...

We consider a sample of independent businesses in a sector of production activity where a vector of inputs X is used to produce multiple outputs Y. An important question is: what are the most efficient businesses that might be useful to emulate? Using ideas from extreme value theory in conjunction...

This talk introduces an analysis of similarity of distributions based on measuring some distance between trimmed distributions. It relies on the use of the impartial trimming methodology, already considered in robust statistics, which we adapt to the setup of model checking. By considering trimmed...

We explore how this mechanism plays out in the data and in a general equilibrium model of...
