Public Transit Access and Income Segregation
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT What are the implications of mass transit improvements for residential income segregation within cities? I observe large income differences in households' usage of and residential proximity to “fast” versus “slow” transit (e.g., subways vs. buses on shared lanes).

Skiba points for small discount rates [PDF]
The present article uses perturbation techniques to approximate the value function of an economic minimisation problem for small values of the discount rate. This can be used to obtain the approximate location of Skiba states (or indifference thresholds)

Ordinal Simplicity in Discrete Mechanism Design
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In environments without transfers, market designers usually restrict attention to ordinal mechanisms. Ordinal mechanisms are simpler but miss potentially welfare‐relevant information. Under what conditions is it without loss to focus on ordinal mechanisms? We show that all group strategy‐proof mechanisms are ordinal.

Indifference Graphs and the Single Row Routing Problem
, 1991 This thesis investigates the subclass of interval graphs known as indifference graphs. New optimal algorithms for recognition, center, diameter, maximum matching, Hamiltonian path and domination in indifference graphs are presented. The recognition algorithm produces a linear order with properties which allow the solution of the other problems in ...

Serial Investing and Strategic Commitment in Markets With Unknown Competitors
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study how serial investors who regularly face unknown competitors attempt to make their projects dominant. Innovating in new markets often involves uncertainty over the nature of the final product and who the key competitors will be. Such projects also have long‐term funding needs, so a commitment to provide the necessary funds imparts a ...

Too Much, Too Soon, for Too Long: The Dynamics of Competitive Executive Compensation
The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine executive compensation in a general equilibrium model with dynamic moral hazard, where executives' outside options are endogenously determined by equilibrium market compensation. Firms provide incentives through compensation packages featuring deferred payments as “carrots” and termination as “sticks.” Crucially, the effectiveness ...

Superstar Returns? Spatial Heterogeneity in Returns to Housing
The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper makes the first comprehensive attempt to study within‐country heterogeneity of housing returns. We introduce a new city‐level data set covering 15 OECD countries over 150 years and show that national housing markets are characterized by systematic spatial variation in housing returns.

Patentability Requirements and the Direction of Innovation
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We model a duopolistic game where firms first choose the direction of their innovation, then invest in the chosen direction, and finally, compete in the product market. Investments occur either in overlapping or non‐overlapping territories. We show that, in the presence of a generous patent regime that allows the protection of innovations of ...
