Consider the global optimisation of a function defined on a finite set endowed with an irreducible and reversible Markov generator. By integration, we extend to the set of probability distributions on and we penalize it with a time-dependent generalized entropy functional. Endowing with a Maas’...

Invariant coordinate selection is an unsupervised multivariate data transformation useful in many contexts such as outlier detection or clustering. It is based on the simultaneous diagonalization of two affine equivariant and positive definite scatter matrices. Its classical implementation relies...

Standard evaluations of public policies involve discounting the flow of expected net benefits at a unique discount rate. Consequently, they systematically ignore the insurance benefits of policies that hedge the aggregate risk, and the social cost of projects that raise the aggregate risk....

We experimentally test how the content of advice, namely, its alignment with common priors, influences beliefs about its quality and future demand for it. We reject the theoretical hypothesis that demand for advice can be increased by giving advice in alignment with common priors. We find,...

Invariant coordinate selection (ICS) is a dimension reduction method, used as a preliminary step for clustering and outlier detection. It has been primarily applied to multivariate data. This work introduces a coordinate-free definition of ICS in an abstract Euclidean space and extends the method...

Invariant Coordinate Selection (ICS) is a multivariate technique that relies on the simultaneous diagonalization of two scatter matrices. It serves various purposes, including its use as a dimension reduction tool prior to clustering or outlier detection. ICS’s theoretical foundation establishes...

We develop a leverage theory of tying in markets with network effects. When a monopolist in one market cannot perfectly extract surplus from consumers, tying can be a mechanism through which unexploited consumer surplus is used as a demand-side leverage to create a “quasi-installed base” advantage...

We study collusion among firms against imperfectly monitored environmental regulation. Firms increase variable profits by violating regulation and reduce expected noncompliance penalties by violating jointly. We consider a case of three German automakers colluding to reduce the effectiveness of...

Corporate green bond announcements generate positive abnormal stock returns. We suggest this might be because managers use green bonds to signal the profitability of the climate-friendly projects they finance. First, we build a signaling model of green bond issuance. It predicts that firms’...
