A Test of the Coase Conjecture Using Prices of Electronic Books

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Coase Conjecture predicts that a durable‐goods monopolist without commitment will rapidly cut price toward marginal cost. We test this prediction in the electronic‐book market using release‐day prices. To proxy for marginal cost, we use competitive prices of public‐domain electronic books on the same platforms.

Do Product Market Reforms Work? Assessing Regulatory Changes Impacting Competition

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We create a new dataset that characterizes studies of product market reforms implemented from 1932 to 2011. We examine the size and origins of differences in estimated impacts based on an OECD classification scheme for potentially competitive restrictions of regulation. The median impact from switching to a pro‐competitive environment is a 19%

The Pink Tax: Price Discrimination, Product Differentiation, and Gender‐Based Pricing in Consumer Packaged Goods

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the economic mechanisms underlying persistent price gaps between products marketed to women and men, which is often referred to as the “Pink Tax.” Using NielsenIQ scanner data on toothbrushes, we provide evidence of gendered price differentials and analyze two mechanisms central to the literature: gender‐based price ...

Simulation Analysis of Influencing Factors Assessment for Emergency Materials Supply Chain Resilience Based on System Dynamics

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
By integrating game theory‐based combined weighting with a system dynamics model, this study systematically reveals the dominant role of agility and adaptability in the resilience of post‐disaster emergency material supply chains. ABSTRACT In light of the intricate dynamics and uncertain risk parameters inherent in the emergency materials supply chains,

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Alignment of Agile and Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Principles in Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organizations have consistently sought faster and more efficient methods for producing and delivering products. Agile principles offer essential guidance for shaping their policies and practices. The Agile Manifesto (AM) outlines 12 core principles for guiding software development but can also be applied in other contexts.
