Solving The Beautiful Mind Coordination Problem, Ted C. Bergstrom
Solving The Beautiful Mind Coordination Problem, Ted C. Bergstrom
Ted C Bergstrom
There are n boys and m girls. The boys are all expected utility maximizers and agree about the desirability of the prospect of dating each girl. Boys assign utility v_i to a date with girl i, where v_1>v_2>\dots v_n>0 and a utility of 0to having no date. Girls don't care which boy they go out with and they prefer having a date to not having a date. We find the Nash equilibrium strategy for boys.

Distress During The Great Depression: The Illiquidity-Insolvency Debate Revisited, Gary Richardson
Distress During The Great Depression: The Illiquidity-Insolvency Debate Revisited, Gary Richardson
Gary Richardson
During the contraction from 1929 to 1933, the Federal Reserve System tracked changes in the status of all banks operating in the United States and determined the cause of each bank suspension. This essay analyzes chronological patterns in aggregate series constructed from that data. The analysis demonstrates both illiquidity and insolvency were substantial sources of bank distress. Periods of heightened distress were correlated with periods of increased illiquidity. Contagion via correspondent networks and bank runs propagated the initial banking panics. As the depression deepened and asset values declined, insolvency loomed as the principal threat to depository institutions.
Remedies For Tying In Computer Applications, Joshua S. Gans
Remedies For Tying In Computer Applications, Joshua S. Gans
Joshua S Gans
Recent anti-trust decisions have proposed remedies for tying of different computer software and applications. The remedies have drawn criticism for being ineffectual. This paper develops a model tailored to deal with the specific issue of tying in computer applications. It provides a rationale for such tying and also any associated harm to social welfare. It then examines proposed remedies and finds conditions under which those remedies will be effective in improving social welfare.
Identity And Self-Other Differentiation In Work And Giving Behaviors: Experimental Evidence, Avner Ben-Ner, Brian P. Mccall, Massoud Stephane, Hua Wang
Identity And Self-Other Differentiation In Work And Giving Behaviors: Experimental Evidence, Avner Ben-Ner, Brian P. Mccall, Massoud Stephane, Hua Wang
AVNER BEN-NER
We show that the distinction between Self and Other, ‘us’ and ‘them,’ or in-group and out-group, affects significantly economic and social behavior. In a series of experiments with approximately 200 Midwestern students as our subjects, we found that they favor those who are similar to them on any of a wide range of categories of identity over those who are not like them. Whereas family and kinship are the most powerful source of identity in our sample, all 13 potential sources of identity in our experiments affect behavior. We explored individuals’ willingness to give money to imaginary people, using a …

Deposit Insurance And Moral Hazard: Capital, Risk, Malfeasance, And Mismanagement. A Comment On ‘Deposit Insurance And Moral Hazard: Evidence From Texas Banking During The 1920s, Gary Richardson
Gary Richardson
A Journal of Economic History article by Linda Hooks and Kenneth Robinson, “Deposit Insurance and Moral Hazard: Evidence from Texas Banking During the 1920s,” contains a contradiction (Hooks and Robinson 2002). Pondering the contradiction in the paper reveals insights that the authors may have overlooked. Hooks and Robinson’s article examines the experience of the banking industry in Texas during the 1920s. Texas operated a deposit-insurance system from January 1, 1910 until February 11, 1927. Deposit insurance was mandatory for all state banks, which were given the choice of two plans in which to participate. The preponderance participated in the depositors …
Check Is In The Mail: Correspondent Clearing And The Banking Panics Of The Great Depression, Gary Richardson
Check Is In The Mail: Correspondent Clearing And The Banking Panics Of The Great Depression, Gary Richardson
Gary Richardson
Weaknesses within the check-clearing system played a hitherto unrecognized role in the banking crises of the Great Depression. Correspondent check-clearing networks were vulnerable to counter-party cascades. Accounting conventions that overstated reserves available to corresponding institutions may have exacerbated the situation. The initial banking panic began when a correspondent network centered in Nashville collapsed, forcing over 100 institutions to suspend operations. As the contraction continued, additional correspondent systems imploded. The vulnerability of correspondent networks is one reason that banks that cleared via correspondents failed at higher rates than other institutions during the Great Depression.
A Model Of Conflict, Appropriation And Production In A Two-Sector Economy, Raul Caruso
A Model Of Conflict, Appropriation And Production In A Two-Sector Economy, Raul Caruso
Raul Caruso
This paper presents a two-sector economy. In a contested sector two agents struggle to appropriate the maximum possible fraction of a contestable output. In an uncontested sector, they hold secure property rights over the production of some goods. Agents split their resource endowment between ‘butter’, ‘guns’ and ‘ice-cream’. The latter denote productive activities secure from appropriation. It is shown how improvements in productivity can countervail destructive impact of continuous conflicts. Eventually a basic model is extended to consider a government and a rival group. A redistributive government can boost production in the uncontested sector, but at a higher level of …

Thewinning Cocktail: The Optimal Mix Of Incentives, Efforts And Institutional Setting In Path-Breaking Academic Research, Sorada Tapsuwan, Ram Ranjan
Sorada Tapsuwan
This paper explores the nature of relationships between individual endowments, efforts, rewards and institutions toward explaining the generation of path-breaking discoveries in academics. Individual endowments are explicitly modeled as the capability to do lateral and vertical thinking which lead to knowledge generation, funding and also influence the chances of making breakthroughs in research. Our findings highlight the role of optimal combination of individual effort within the institutional constraints in order to maximize the chances of success. Under certain situations higher efforts do not necessarily lead to higher chances of making breakthroughs. When individual endowments can be augmented through institutional reward …

Where Economics Has Been Headed? Multiple Identities And Diversity In Economic Literature, Evidence From Top Journals Over The Period 2000-2006, A First Note, Luigi Campiglio, Raul Caruso
Where Economics Has Been Headed? Multiple Identities And Diversity In Economic Literature, Evidence From Top Journals Over The Period 2000-2006, A First Note, Luigi Campiglio, Raul Caruso
Raul Caruso
This short paper presents some preliminary results of an ongoing research work focusing on richness and diversity of economic literature. The key idea is that each article published in an economic journal retains multiple identities. These multiple identities are captured through the use of JEL codes. A sample of top generalist journals has been selected. The relative abundance of all JEL categories has been computed for the period 2000-2006. Moreover, a degree of diversity has been proposed for both the sampled journals and the entire Econlit database.
The Impact Of Entrepreneurship Capital On Spanish’S Labor Productivity And Economic Growth, Phd(C) José Luis Massón Guerra
The Impact Of Entrepreneurship Capital On Spanish’S Labor Productivity And Economic Growth, Phd(C) José Luis Massón Guerra
José Luis Massón Guerra, PhD
El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la relación que existe entre el capital empresarial y la productividad laboral (renta per cápita) en España. Para tal efecto, se utilizará el modelo de impactos del capital empresarial de Audretsch y Keilbach (2004a), que explica las variaciones de la renta per cápita, a partir de la propensión sectorial para crear nuevas empresas. Esta propensión es una medida del capital empresarial que se incorpora en una función de producción Cobb–Douglas (1928) con datos de panel de 75 sectores en un período de seis años, de la misma manera que los factores capital físico, …

The Impact Of Uncertainty Intellectual Property Rights On The Market For Ideas: Evidence From Patent Grant Delays, Joshua S. Gans, David H. Hsu, Scott Stern
The Impact Of Uncertainty Intellectual Property Rights On The Market For Ideas: Evidence From Patent Grant Delays, Joshua S. Gans, David H. Hsu, Scott Stern
Joshua S Gans
This paper considers the impact of the intellectual property (IP) system on the timing of cooperation/licensing by start-up technology entrepreneurs. If the market for technology licenses is efficient, the timing of licensing is independent of whether the patent has already been granted, and productive efficiency considerations will determine license timing (which likely will be as early as possible after invention). In contrast, the need for disclosure of unprotected knowledge on the part of the inventor, asymmetric information between the licensor and potential licensees, or search costs may retard efficient technology transfer. In these cases, reductions in uncertainty surrounding the scope …
