Gendered Effects of the Minimum Wage
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Women work disproportionately in low‐hours jobs, which pay lower wages and are more exposed to minimum‐wage policies. We estimate an equilibrium search model with worker and firm heterogeneity, jobs differing in wages and hours, and imperfect compliance. Applied to Germany, the 8.50 € minimum wage reallocates women toward higher‐hours jobs and

Integrated location–inventory planning for slow‐moving demands with waiting time limitations
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract This paper studies a stochastic facility location problem integrated with inventory and transportation decisions (SFLPIT) for supply chains with slow‐moving stock‐keeping units (SKUs). Local stores often avoid maintaining such SKUs, resulting in customer demand being fulfilled directly by a central distribution center (DC), where the ...

Public Choice, 2016 I investigate the impact of voter turnout on top marginal tax rates in OECD countries between 1974 and 2013. I find that higher turnout leads to higher taxes for top earners, a result broadly consistent with the median voter theorem.

Strategic Stake Acquisitions in Rival Firms: Common vs. Cross‐Ownership
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study how a blockholder who controls a firm should acquire a minority stake in a rival: directly, creating common ownership, or indirectly through the controlled firm, creating cross‐ownership. Common ownership generates stronger internalization of competitive externalities and allows the blockholder to capture the resulting gains without ...

Privatization Under Political Ties
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I study a product differentiation model with endogenous entry where a politically connected public firm competes with a private one. Consumers are heterogeneous in their willingness to pay. I argue that—because of political ties—the public firm may mimic the preferences of the consumer with the median willingness to pay.

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the valuation gap between buyers and sellers of insurers' contingent capital, driven by asymmetric exposures to tax benefits, capital injections, and bankruptcy costs. We develop a novel Twin‐Tree Model with Jumps (TTMJ) that models the insurer's asset value dynamics by incorporating catastrophe risk, insolvency risk ...
