Feedback and Contagion through Distressed Competition

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms tend to compete more aggressively when facing financial distress. This intensified competition reduces profit margins, pushing them further into distress and adversely affecting their industry peers. To study such feedback and contagion effects, we incorporate strategic competition in a dynamic model with long‐term defaultable debt ...

A Unified Approach to Estimating Production Functions: Proxy Variables and Dynamic Panel Data

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a new approach to production function estimation that integrates the strengths of the proxy‐variable (PV) and dynamic panel data (DPD) methods. Our framework augments the set of instruments for the level equation in Blundell and Bond [8] with a Berkson‐type instrument motivated by economic theory, following Olley and Pakes [28 ...

Monopoly Versus Dual‐Channel Distribution With Multiple Retailers

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how downstream competition shapes a manufacturer's decision to adopt a dual‐channel structure—supplying independent retailers via secret two‐part tariff contracts while also operating a direct channel. We show that the shape of the inverse demand function plays a key role in this decision.

A joint model of cost and churn for the insurance industry

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract In insurance markets, claim costs are highly variable, heavy‐tailed, and difficult to predict. At the same time, policyholder retention and lapse behavior (customer churn) are critical determinants of long‐term profitability and solvency. Most existing models in the literature treat claim costs and lapses as independent, overlooking potential ...

The Cross and Conflict: How Do Christians Impact Protest Dynamics?

Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between Christian actors, practices, and sacred sites in US protests and demonstrations, focusing on how political ideology shapes conflict outcomes. Using event‐level data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), the analysis explores 63,000 protest events from 2020 to 2024 ...

Testing Distributional Granger Causality With Entropic Optimal Transport

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We develop a novel nonparametric test for Granger causality in distribution based on entropic optimal transport. Unlike classical mean‐based approaches, the proposed method directly compares the full conditional distributions of a response variable with and without the history of a candidate predictor.
