Equilibrium Existence in First‐Price Auctions With Private Values
We provide sufficient conditions for equilibrium existence in first‐price auctions with private values that accommodate non quasi‐linear utilities and value‐distributions that contain atoms and exhibit positive or negative correlation. These conditions show that equilibrium existence often turns on properties of a single statistic of the joint ...

In recent years, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become a very widely used technology for profiling gene expression. One of the most common aims of RNA-seq profiling is to identify genes or molecular pathways that are differentially expressed (DE) between ...

Data and Competition: A Simple Framework
ABSTRACT Does enhanced access to data foster or hinder competition among firms? Using a competition‐in‐utility framework that encompasses many situations where firms use data, we model data as a revenue‐shifter and identify two opposite effects: a mark‐up effect according to which data induces firms to compete harder, and a surplus‐extraction effect ...

Use of Quasi-Experimental Research Designs in Education Research: Growth, Promise, and Challenges
In the past few decades, we have seen a rapid proliferation in the use of quasi-experimental research designs in education research. This trend, stemming in part from the “credibility revolution” in the social sciences, particularly economics, is notable

Sensitivity versus size: Implications for tax competition
The conventional wisdom is that a large jurisdiction sets a higher tax rate than a small jurisdiction. We show that this result arises due to simplifying assumptions that imply that tax‐base sensitivities are equal across jurisdictions. When more than two jurisdictions compete in commodity taxes, tax‐base sensitivities need not be equal across ...

Systematic reviews of effectiveness offer a rigorous synthesis of the best evidence available regarding the effects of interventions or treatments. Randomized controlled trials are considered the optimal study design for evaluating the effectiveness of ...

Stochastic impatience and the separation of time and risk preferences
We study how the separation of time and risk preferences relates to a property called stochastic impatience. We show that, within a broad class of models, stochastic impatience holds if and only if risk aversion and the inverse elasticity of intertemporal substitution are sufficiently close.

Anticomonotonicity for preference axioms: The natural counterpart to comonotonicity
Comonotonicity (same variation) of random variables minimizes hedging possibilities and has been widely used, e.g., in Gilboa and Schmeidler's ambiguity models. This paper investigates anticomonotonicity (opposite variation (AC)), the natural counterpart to comonotonicity. It minimizes leveraging rather than hedging possibilities.

On the Public and Voluntary Provision of Public Goods
ABSTRACT We extend Bergstrom, Blume, and Varian's (1986) model to a non‐cooperative approach where voluntary contributions and taxes coexist to finance public goods. After obtaining the uniqueness of equilibrium, we present different properties of the outcomes, showing the role that the taxes play and the impact on voluntary contributions.

Today's perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are limited mainly by their open‐circuit voltage (VOC) due to nonradiative recombination. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the relevant recombination pathways is needed.
