Evidence Gathering Under Competitive and Noncompetitive Rewards
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reward schemes may affect not only agents' effort but also their incentives to gather information in order to reduce the riskiness of the productive activity. In a laboratory experiment using a novel task, we find that the relationship between incentives and evidence gathering depends critically on the availability of information about peers ...

Tariffs and Foreign Direct Investment in a Dynamic North–South Model
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract This paper examines how import tariffs by a developed country (the North) and a developing country (the South) affect innovation and foreign direct investment (FDI) using a quality ladder model. We show that a Northern import tariff raises the relative wage of Northern labor, but impedes innovation and FDI. This may worsen Northern welfare. By

Liquidity Crises and the Market‐Maker of Last Resort
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract We study market illiquidity in an economy subject to nonfundamental shocks. Asset trading occurs via decentralized bargaining. The model has multiple rational expectations equilibria; we associate certain Pareto‐inferior equilibria with liquidity crises.

Policy Biases in a Model with Labor‐Market Frictions
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract We develop a model with labor‐market matching frictions that is subject to a range of shocks, including shocks to matching efficiency and bargaining power, and use the model to examine how monetary policy should respond to such shocks. We show that optimal monetary policy responds effectively to these shocks, producing economic outcomes that ...

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We develop a unified theory of blockholder governance and the voting premium in a setting without takeovers or controlling shareholders. A voting premium emerges when a minority blockholder can influence shareholder composition by accumulating votes and buying shares from dissenting shareholders.

Innovation, Licensing, and Competition: Evidence From Genetically Engineered Crops
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We provide a novel empirical analysis of the role of technology licensing, between competitors, for genetically engineered (GE) traits in the US seed industry. We extend the standard differentiated‐product Bertrand pricing model to include trait licensing, which permits us to recover marginal costs and (otherwise unobserved) royalty rates ...

The Determinants of Negotiated Pharmaceutical Prices
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We focus on the determinants of pharmaceutical drug prices. Using data from the Brazilian pharmaceutical market, we find large variations in drug prices across buyers, drug classes, and time periods. Our estimation results provide evidence that transaction‐specific determinants between buyers and sellers (e.g., transaction volume, buyer's ...
