Migrant Smuggling to Europe: A Two‐Sector Model With Directed Search
ABSTRACT In the last decade, combating migrant smuggling has emerged as a top priority for the European Union (EU). An idiosyncratic feature of this market is its dual supply‐side organization, comprising a small number of criminal cartels and a large mass of self‐employed smugglers.

Abstract We analyse the general equilibrium implications of introducing a universal basic income (UBI) for employment and income in an economy characterized by involuntary unemployment. Our framework allows tax revenues and workers' reservation wages to adjust endogenously with employment to satisfy the government's budget constraint.

Abstract In many environmental problems, emissions are hard to monitor and abatement costs are privately known. We study how efficient abatement nevertheless can be induced through market‐like arrangements that condition transfers on verifiable abatement rather than on measured emissions.

Interdependent‐value auctions with spiteful bidders
Abstract I study the interaction between spiteful preferences and interdependent values in auctions. While spite causes overbidding in both auction formats, interdependent values affect spiteful bidders' incentives differently depending on the auction format.

Market size and strategic interaction in pharmaceutical price regulation
Abstract We present a model of optimal regulation in the presence of spillover effects and asymmetric countries, and we use it to study strategic interaction among countries in pharmaceutical price regulation, where the spillovers result from innovation in drug development.

Optimal Fisheries Management Using Transferable Shares of a Convex Tax
ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a fishery control scheme that happens to be first best in the context of a Gordon‐Schaefer model with asymmetric information about effort/harvesting costs. It is widely acknowledged that in the absence of regulations, competition between vessels leads to a competitive game wherein the outcome is inefficient.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

A broad scope covers both production and R&D investment decisions, while a narrow scope applies only to production decisions. We show that both firms' choices and the government's preferences depend on the level of CSR concern and on

Information Design for Early‐Stage Dose‐Finding Trials
ABSTRACT To enhance enrollment rates in early‐stage dose‐finding clinical trials, we propose an information design approach, where the clinical investigator (CI) commits to an information releasing mechanism (IRM) based on the treatment's uncertain efficacy and toxicity to encourage patients to participate in the trial.
