Institutions, Holdup, and Automation [PDF]

open access: yesIndustrial and Corporate Change, 2019
Abstract What drives investment in automation technologies? This paper documents a positive relationship between labor-friendly institutions and investment in industrial robots in a sample of advanced and developing economies. Institutions explain a substantial share of cross-country variation in automation.

Contractual Holdup and Legal Intervention [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This article develops the point that incentive and risk-bearing problems associated with contractual holdup may justify legal intervention. Contractual holdup is considered both for fresh contracts and for modifications of contracts.

The Effects of the Properties of Gases on the Design of Bubble Columns Equipped with a Fine Pore Sparger

open access: yesChemEngineering, 2018
This work concerns the performance of bubble columns equipped with porous sparger and investigates the effect of gas phase properties by conducting experiments with various gases (i.e., air, CO2, He) that cover a wide range of physical property values ...

Experimental investigation of solid holdup in twin-cyclone combustor [PDF]

open access: yesResearch & Knowledge, 2016
In this study, the hydrodynamics behaviors and solid holdup in a twin-cyclone combustor with a swirling fl uidized bed were investigated under a wide range of cold–air operating conditions. Silica sand of three different particle size ranges: 600–710 μm,

No Holdup in Dynamic Markets [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
In many markets, heterogenous agents make non-contractible investments before bargaining over both who matches with whom and the terms of trade. In static markets, the holdup problem—that is, inefficient investments caused by agents receiving only a ...

Mass shedding rate of an isolated high-speed slug propagating in a pipeline

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics
An isolated liquid slug in the pipeline can accelerate and achieve a high speed when subjected to a driving pressure. During the slug’s high-speed movement in a pipeline, part of the liquid will shed from it resulting in changes in the slug’s mass and ...

Holdup and Comparative Advantage [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
We consider a setting where fims need to make irreversible investments to exploit a country's comparative advantage. Firms are then susceptible to ex-post rent extraction by a transit country or by other agents that are able to limit access to world markets. We develop a general equilibrium model where this potential holdup problem makes such countries
