Search and Competition in Expert Markets

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze a model where consumers sequentially search experts for treatment recommendations and prices, facing either zero or a positive search cost, whereas experts simultaneously compete in these two dimensions.

Full Discretion is Inevitable

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 131-159, March 2025.
Abstract This study examines the adaptive market hypothesis in the prewar and wartime Japanese stock market using a new market capitalization‐weighted price index. First, we find that the degree of market efficiency varies over time and with major historical events. This implies that the hypothesis is supported in this market.

We offer empirical evidence that proactive preferences influence farmers' decisions alongside reactive preferences ...

Consequently, empirical evidence on how cooperative membership shapes farmers’ commercialization across ...

Interdependence of government expenditure among European countries: Productivity spillover and strategic interaction

Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.
Abstract We build an endogenous growth model that distinguishes productive and welfare government expenditures and embeds fiscal externalities. The model yields three testable hypotheses: (i) productive expenditure raises growth (Barro effect); (ii) productive expenditure generates cross‐country productivity spillovers; (iii) government expenditure ...
