Teaming up With a Delegate in a Rent‐Seeking Contest
Journal of Public Economic Theory, Volume 28, Issue 6, December 2026.ABSTRACT We consider a rent‐seeking contest where two players compete for a single prize. Each player can exert effort in two complementary activities to influence his probability of winning. Each player also has the option to hire a delegate to exert effort in one of these activities on his behalf.

Do Inada conditions imply that production function must be asymptotically Cobb-Douglas? A comment
We correct an intermediate mistake in Barelli and Pessôa [Barelli P. and Pessôa S. de A., 2003, "Inada conditions imply that production function must be asymptotically Cobb-Douglas," Economics Letters 81, 361-363] and show that the main result is still ...

The Early Use of the Wicksell-Cobb-Douglas Function: A Comment on Weber
, 1999 It can be shown that Knut Wicksell used this production function implicitly as early as 1895 in his doctoral dissertation Zur Lehre von der Steuerincidenz, and explicitly in 1900. Philip H. Wicksteed, on the contrary, defined the production function in a

Political Partisanship and State‐Level Bank Efficiency
Financial Review, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 1197-1223, November 2026.ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between political partisanship and commercial bank efficiency in the United States from 1972 to 2020, assessing the persistent influence of political affiliations at the state and District of Columbia levels. Bank efficiency scores are estimated using a double‐bootstrap approach, and the analysis is conducted within

How the Threat of Knowledge Loss Drives Firms’ R&D Dynamism: A Threat Rigidity Perspective
Journal of Management Studies, Volume 63, Issue 7, Page 4284-4321, November 2026.Abstract Drawing on threat rigidity theory, this paper argues that the threat of knowledge loss gives rise to a threat rigidity effect in firms’ R&D function, that is, reduces their R&D dynamism. It further argues that the dampening of R&D dynamism is greater for firms more vulnerable to the threat of knowledge loss due to facing greater product market

Bank Performance Under Varying Urban and Rural Governance: Evidence From the COVID‐19 Pandemic
Journal of Regional Science, Volume 66, Issue 5, Page 1544-1563, November 2026.ABSTRACT This paper examines how state capacity influences the effect of economic shocks on local bank performance in urban and rural areas. Our identification strategy exploits COVID‐19's impact on Indonesia's community credit banks, which can only operate in a single region. Using loan loss provisions to represent credit risk and return on assets for
