Technical Change and Catching-up: The Electricity Distribution Sector in South America [PDF]
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze technical change in the electricity distribution sector in South America, in the period 1994-1997. We do so by estimating a Maximum Likelihood stochastic frontier.

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A platform matches a unit mass of sellers, each owning a single product of heterogeneous quality, to a unit mass of buyers with differing valuations for unit‐quality. After matching, sellers make take‐it‐or‐leave‐it price‐offers to buyers. Initially, valuations of buyers are only known to them and the platform, but sellers make inferences from

The Political Economy of Patent Buyouts
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Incentivizing innovation through buyouts may alleviate the social costs associated with patent power, but the political economy and feasibility of this potentially important financing mechanism have been understudied. We study an international setting of countries with different innovation and financing capabilities, and where financing ...

Artificial intelligence streamlines scientific discovery of drug–target interactions
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Drug discovery is a complicated process through which new therapeutics are identified to prevent and treat specific diseases. Identification of drug–target interactions (DTIs) stands as a pivotal aspect within the realm of drug discovery and development. The traditional process of drug discovery, especially identification of DTIs, is marked by
