A Theory of the Boundaries of Banks With Implications for Financial Integration and Regulation

open access: yesFinancial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We offer a theory of the “boundary of the firm” that is tailored to banks, recognizing the relevance of deposit financing and interbank lending as a substitute for integration. It is based on a single inefficiency that has been at the core of banking theory: risk‐shifting incentives in the interest of bank shareholders.

A Stochastic Discrete Fractional Cournot Duopoly Game: Modeling, Stability, and Optimal Control

open access: yesComplexity
A stochastic discrete fractional Cournot duopoly game model with a unique interior Nash equilibrium is developed in this study. Some sufficient criteria of the Lyapunov stability in probability for the proposed model at the interior Nash equilibrium are ...

The pure Nash equilibrium property and the quasi-acyclic condition [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper presents a sufficient condition for the quasi-acyclic condition. A game is quasi-acyclic if from any strategy profile, there exists a finite sequence of strict best replies that ends in a pure strategy Nash equilibrium. The best-reply dynamics

Strategic Flip‐Flopping in Political Competition

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
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.

Material Aspirations, Cultural Change, and the Transition Toward Sustained Growth

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We highlight the role of economic materialism as a cultural phenomenon of significance in relation to economic transformation and development. By inducing material aspirations, an endogenous cultural change toward more widespread adherence to materialistic values is both a cause and an effect of productivity growth.

Full-Truthful Implementation in Nash Equilibria [PDF]

open access: yes
We consider full-truthful Nash implementation, which requires that truth telling by each agent should be a Nash equilibrium of a direct revelation mechanism, and that the set of Nash equilibrium outcomes of the mechanism should coincide with the f ...

Cryptocurrency Bubbles and Costly Mining

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a model of a cryptocurrency by incorporating mining into the otherwise standard search‐theoretic monetary framework. As usual, multiple equilibria exist. To obtain a sharp prediction on whether a cryptocurrency' s value will last in the future, I propose a notion of equilibrium refinement based on the feature that mining ...

Network Games With Triadic Interactions

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a model for network‐mediated interactions incorporating higher‐order relationships such as triadic interactions. The marginal utility of an individual's action depends explicitly on endogenous actions of multiple units. Conditions ensuring a unique Nash equilibrium are derived using a variational inequality approach. We estimate the
