The Determinants of Negotiated Pharmaceutical Prices
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 ...

Game-theoretical approach to minimum entropy productions in information thermodynamics
In a situation where each player has control over the transition probabilities of each subsystem, we game-theoretically analyze the optimization problem of minimizing both the partial entropy production of each subsystem and a penalty for failing to ...

Remarks on Nash equilibria for games with additively coupled payoffs (revision, previous title: An unusual Nash equilibrium result and its application to games with allocations in infinite dimensions) [PDF]
If the payoffs of a game are affine, then they are additively coupled. In this situation both the Weierstrass theorem and the Bauer maximum principle can be used to produce existence results for a Nash equilibrium, since each player is faced with an ...

RPM and Vertical Integration With Upstream Competition and Noncontractible Efforts
ABSTRACT We study RPM and vertical integration in a common agency setting with two differentiated manufacturers and one retailer, where consumer demand depends on both the manufacturers' and retailer's noncontractible efforts. Under vertical separation, the adoption of maximum RPM by both manufacturers is an equilibrium and intensifies competition ...

Welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing
Abstract This paper introduces an empirical framework to evaluate the welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing by modeling the complete pricing process, including demand and price optimization. Moving beyond traditional cost modeling, we analyze both discrimination‐related fairness criteria and broader regulatory constraints, such

The Impact of TikTok on Elections: (Mis)information and Regulatory Challenges
ABSTRACT TikTok's algorithm‐driven feed is reshaping electoral communication, yet a clear understanding of its effects is lacking. This study synthesizes and appraises evidence on how the platform's design and governance shape political (dis)information and may affect electoral dynamics.

A COURNOT-BERTRAND MODEL USING VARIOUS PRODUCTS [PDF]
Imperfect competition represent a known issue on modern economic analysis. Monopoly case classical induce a worse solution for consumer side but in the oligopoly competition scenario it will be possible to obtain a solution close to perfect competition ...
