Market Power And Price Movements Over The Business Cycle, Bart Wilson, Stanley Reynolds

Bart J Wilson

This paper develops and tests implications of an oligopoly-pricing model. The model predicts that during a demand expansion, the short run competitive price is a pure strategy Nash equilibrium but in a recession, firms set prices above the competitive price. Thus, price markups over the competitive price are countercyclical. Prices set during a recession are more variable than prices set in expansions because firms employ mixed strategy pricing in recessions. The empirical analysis utilizes Hamilton's time series switching regime filter to test the predictions of the model. Fourteen out of fifteen industries have fluctuations consistent with this oligopoly-pricing model.

Verifiable Offers And The Relationship Between Auctions And Multilateral Negotiations, Bart Wilson, Charles Thomas

Bart J Wilson

We use the experimental method to compare second-price auctions with 'verifiable' multilateral negotiations in which the sole buyer can credibly reveal to sellers the best price offer he currently holds. Despite the two institutions' seeming equivalence, we find that prices are lower in verifiable multilateral negotiations than in second-price auctions. The difference occurs because low-cost sellers in negotiations often submit initial offers below the second-lowest cost. We also compare the two institutions to previously studied first-price auctions and multilateral negotiations with non-verifiable offers. Second-price auctions yield the highest prices, followed in order by verifiable negotiations, non-verifiable negotiations and first-price auctions.

The Judicial System Of The East India Company: Precursor To The Present Pakistani Legal System, Muhammad Munir Dr.

Dr. Muhammad Munir

The work discusses how the British East India Company came to the subcontinent for the purpose of trade in 1604 and how it slowly and gradually started interfering in the local justice system by acquiring revenue collection of 38 villages in 1717 near Calcutta. In 1765 the Company was granted revenue collection as well as customs of three provinces. The Company also acquired the administration of justice in the areas under its control and the role of Muslim qadis and judges was over. Company’s officials, who were traders rather than trained judges, were running the court system and the Privy …

Entre La Restricción Y La Libertad: Sobre La Posible Pérdida De Legitimidad Del Juez Constitucional, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome

Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome

There are different points of view from which legal reasoning can be examined. Some argue that there is a correct theory of legal reasoning and therefore, they analyze particular cases in order to determine if a particular argument drawn by a judge or a court is coherent with a proposed theory. One of the main assets of Critical Legal Studies (CLS) is to think about law as a practice in which there is no need to establish a particular theory to grasp reality. In the area of legal reasoning, Duncan Kennedy has tried to show us how the main concern …

Adapt Or Optimize? The Psychology And Economics Of Rules Of Evidence, Robert D. Cooter

Robert Cooter

In civil disputes, the plaintiff must prove his case by the preponderance of the evidence. To reach this standard, the plaintiff accumulates evidence by combining facts. I compare two models of this process. Decision makers can adapt their behavior for improved results, as assumed in some psychological models. Adaptive models predict that court practice will allow the plaintiff to combine facts according to relatively simple rules. Alternatively, decision makers can optimize their behavior for best results, as assumed in most economic models. Optimization models predict that court practice will require the plaintiff to combine facts in ways that conform to …

The Indignity Of Federal Wildlife Habitat Law, Jamison E. Colburn

Jamison E. Colburn

In this article, I argue that the agencies charged under federal law with the protection of wildlife populations are, to a fault, too rational, too deliberate, too sequential in operation, and too focused on putting various tracts of federal realty on highly protective pedestals. My overall critique is that our administrative system's commitments to rationality and public participation per se render it an ineffective means to the end of wildlife habitat protection. Conservation biologists have agreed time and again how important continuous adaptation is to success in this field and how necessary it is to keep all high stakes judgments …
