A note on cartel stability and endogenous sequencing with tacit collusion. [PDF]

We use the concept of cartel stability defined by d'Aspremont et al. (1983) to obtain that the sequence of play between the cartel and the fringe affects cartel stability in a quantity-competition setting where firms tacitly collude.

AN ECONOMIC APPROACH TO VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION [PDF]

We develop an economic model of association based on voluntary contributions. Different equilibria corresponding to the different modes of formation of associations are analyzed and the results are compared with existing empirical literature.

The Effect of Spillovers and Congestion on the Segregative Properties of Endogenous Jurisdiction Structure Formation [PDF]

This paper analyzes the effect of spillovers and congestion of local public goods on the segregative properties of endogenous formation of jurisdiction. Households living in the same place form a jurisdiction and produce a local public good, that creates
