Asymmetric Platform Oligopoly

The RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 60-77, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT We propose a tractable model of asymmetric platform oligopoly with logit demand in which users from two distinct groups are subject to within‐group and cross‐group network effects and decide which platform to join. We characterize the equilibrium when platforms manage user access by setting participation fees for each user group.

Stable Price Dispersion under Heterogeneous Buyer Consideration

The RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 103-121, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT We study the pricing of homogeneous products sold to customers who consider different sets of suppliers. We identify prices that are stable in the sense that no firm wishes to undercut a rival or to raise its price when rivals are able to respond by offering special deals.

ABSTRACT When managers rely on their subordinates for local information but cannot commit to how such information is used, the incentives for effort and information elicitation become intertwined.

Fossil Fuels and Renewable Energy: Mix or Match?

The RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 140-157, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This article investigates the influence of technological ownership on pricing strategies and productive efficiency.

Resource windfalls and political sabotage: Evidence from 5.2 million political ads

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 2, Page 630-664, March 2026.
Abstract We study the role of incentives in inducing sabotage in political contents, vis‐à‐vis natural resource windfalls. The latter induce plausibly exogenous increases in contests' stakes by extending opportunities for policy implementation or private gain upon winning and enhancing incumbent advantage.
