This paper studies a model in which some consumers shop on the basis of price alone, without attention to potential differences in product quality. A firm may offer a low-quality product to exploit these inattentive consumers. In the unique symmetric equilibrium of the model, firms choose prices with mixed strategies , similarly to Varian (1980) in which some consumers purchase from a random se...

As the volume of scientific literature grows faster it becomes more difficult for researchers to identify promising papers that are likely to become influential in their field. We study the problem of predicting future citation counts of papers given information available at the time of publication (five years forward in our pilot study). We apply machine learning techniques on a dataset of mil...

In order to more effectively leverage this growing potential, continued research on the topic of Technology Supported Learning is essential. The Technology Supported Learning minitrack strives to encourage papers from a variety of perspectives such as different ...

This article examines how research productivity, administrative service, and teaching affect reputational capital in the market for academic economists. Also, we investigate the issue of the durability of reputational capital, estimating the penalties associated with gaps in research output. Our results reveal that (1) the market makes a distiniction between the quantity and the quality of an i...
