Market Power And Price Movements Over The Business Cycle, Bart Wilson, Stanley Reynolds Aug 2014

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 Aug 2014

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 Donation Registry, Robert Cooter Oct 2005

The Donation Registry, Robert Cooter

Robert Cooter

To redistribute income, charitable giving must supplement progressive taxes. One person can sometimes observe another's donations to specific charities, but one person cannot observe another's total donations to all charities. Consequently, people do not have enough information to know whether each person is doing his fair share of charitable giving. In these circumstances, the social norm concerning how much people ought to give remains inchoate and redistribution is deficient. To remedy this problem, I propose various means to publicize donations, ultimately leading to a donation registry.

Check Substitution: The Payment Processors' Perspective, Christian Johnson, Peter Soraparu Sep 2005

Check Substitution: The Payment Processors' Perspective, Christian Johnson, Peter Soraparu

Christian A. Johnson

The fifth and concluding panel of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago's 2005 Payments Conference brought together payment processors to discuss check substitution by payors and the elimination of the physical check in the clearance and settlement process. Although the panelists agreed that while check usage is decreasing, they generally concluded checks will still remain an important part of the payment system in the foreseeable future. The panelists focused on how innovations, incentives and regulation are influencing check substitution and improvements to check processing.

Mp3s Are Killing Home Taping: The Rise Of Internet Distribution And Its Challenge To The Major Label Music Monopoly, Kembrew Mcleod Sep 2005

Mp3s Are Killing Home Taping: The Rise Of Internet Distribution And Its Challenge To The Major Label Music Monopoly, Kembrew Mcleod

Kembrew McLeod

The phrase “home taping is killing music”—a slogan invented and heavily promoted by major labels to combat the unauthorized duplication of music in the early-1980s—now sounds quaint after the rise of digital distribution. Because the legal arguments surrounding the trading of copyrighted music on file-sharing networks have been extensively debated elsewhere, this article primarily focuses on the way this alternative distribution system poses a very real challenge to major labels. That music monopoly, which has been in place for a century, was able to secure its dominance because it controlled the means of production—something that is no longer the case, …
