In this paper, we investigate a investment-reinsurance game problem with delay and ambiguity aversionfor two insurers under mean-variance preference. Each insurer can purchase proportional reinsurancewhose surplus process is a diffusion approximation process, and invest oneself's wealth in a...

The number of insurance companies recently have increased dramatically, some insurance businesses of insurance companies tend to be the same, but their wealth and risk preference are different. Therefore, this paper studies the reinsurance investment game between insurers with the same insurance...

This study uses Comtrade trade data covering 1990-2017, 14 textile subsectors, and 53 African countries with their main trade partners to evaluate Chinese trade impacts on African textile exports over three subperiods at the sector level. It finds that, although textile imports from China had a...

The objective of this paper is twofold: 1) to fill the gap in the health care literature with the estimation of the price and distance effects on health care provider choices by households in the presence of varying demand heterogeneity, 2) to contribute to estimation robustness by confronting...

Sparked by Baumol’s revenue- versus profit-maximizing models of the firm, this paper using a growth model shows that if a nation seeks GDP-maximizing growth with capital expansion as driving force, the model could work only under the assumption that the consumers’ aversion to...

With a panel sample of more than 3000 rural Chinese households surveyed over 21 years, this study estimates the evolution of relative roles of social status and human capital in the intrahousehold division of labor under the context of a rapid market development. With the guidance of a...

With the guidance of a new institutional framework, the theoretical modelling establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for institutional change to occur in authoritarian regimes: first, external chocks must be strong, much stronger than in a democratic regime; second, the chocks must...

This study addresses state intervention in land pricing. Theoretical modelling identifies risk aversion as the determining factor for the coexistence of the visible and invisible hands. Our empirical tests using Chinese data confirm the absence of this coexistence. Exploring the micro-foundation...
