This paper introduces model specifications that can be used to explain response incentive effects that might occur with discrete response contingent valuation data when follow-up responses are collected. The models allowfor possible random response shocks, structural ships in willingness to pay betweenpayment questionsand heteroskedasticity between and within responses. Three well-known conting...

To better understand temporary price reductions or “sales,” this paper presents a generalized “clearinghouse” framework of advertised sales and explores some applications. By viewing the firms as competing in utility amending conventional tiebreak rule, we allow for multiple dimensions firm heterogeneity complex market environments. Moreover, (i) provide original insights into number types that...

The paper explores the effect of technological specialisation on economic growth within a balance-of-payments-constrained growth model. We find that countries that are specialised in fast-growing technologies experience above average rates of growth due to the positive effects on international competitiveness. Moreover, we find that innovation, imitation and investment affect countries’ perform...

We study the life cycle of a firm that produces good unknown quality. The manages its quality by investing while consumers learn via public breakthroughs; if fails to generate such breakthroughs, revenue falls and it eventually exits. Optimal investment depends on firm’s reputation (the market’s belief about quality) self-esteem own quality), is single-peaked in time since breakthrough. derive ...

This paper studies how security design affects project outcomes. Consider a firm that raises capital for multiple projects by offering investors share of the revenues. The revenue each is determined ex post through bargaining with buyer output. Thus, choice feasible payoffs game. We characterize securities achieve firm’s maximal equilibrium payoff in bilateral and multilateral negotiations. In ...

Commentators often lament forecasters’ inability to provide precise predictions of the long-run behavior complex economic and physical systems. Yet their concerns conflate presence substantial uncertainty with need for predictability; short-run can partially substitute if decision-makers adjust activities over time. So what is relative importance short- predictability? We study this question in...

Recent evaluations of the impact of Turkish healthcare reforms on the efficiency of public hospitals suffer from simultaneous structural changes in the healthcare sector as well as from lack of data on some of the key ingredients of the reform. In this note, we analyze the major obstacles in a fair evaluation of the efficiency of public hospitals taking Sulku(2011)’s data envelopment analysis a...
