Strategic Flip‐Flopping in Political Competition
ABSTRACT We study candidates' position adjustments in response to information about voters' preferences. Repositioning allows candidates to move closer to the median voter, but it incurs financial and electoral costs. In a subgame‐perfect equilibrium, candidates diverge from the center ex ante if the costs of adjustment are sufficiently large.

Optimal energy management of water networks under quality conditions
Abstract In the context of sustainability, which has become fundamental today, we aim to optimize (reduce) the energy consumption due to the use of pumps that bring water from all the different reservoirs to the nodes of the distribution network. The proposed model allows us, thanks to the use of smart meters and new 5G technologies, to determine the ...

Foreclosure and Profit Shifting With Partial Vertical Ownership
ABSTRACT We demonstrate that the incentives of firms that partially own their suppliers or customers to foreclose rivals depend on how the partial owner can extract profit from the target. Compared to a fully vertically integrated firm, a partial owner may obtain only a share of the target's profit but may have significant influence over the target's ...

Can Collaboration Promote Corporate Social Responsibility? Evidence From the Lab
ABSTRACT Do agreements among competitors regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR) promote public‐interest objectives? We address this question theoretically and experimentally in a duopoly framework in which firms choose between offering a “fair” and an “unfair” good to consumers. When the unfair good is traded, a negative externality is imposed
