Self-confidence and survival
Bar-Isaac, Heski - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2001
We consider the impact of history on the survival of a monopolist selling single units in discrete time periods, whose quality is learned slowly. If the seller learns her own quality at the same rate as customers, a sufficiently bad run of luck could induce her to stop selling. When she knows...

Investment in a Monopoly With Bayesian Learning
Koulovatianos, Christos; Mirman, Leonard J.; Santugini, Marc - 2011
We study how learning affects an uninformed monopolist's supply and investment decisions under multiplicative … the random demand. Observing prices reveals this information slowly. We first show how to incorporate Bayesian learning … of learning on supply and investment decisions, as well as the steady state level of capital. Our findings are as follows …

Ragot, Lionel; Schubert, Katheline - Maison des Sciences Économiques, Université Paris 1 … - 2006
The Kyoto Protocol, which came in force in February 2005, allows countries to resort to "supplementary activities" consisting particularly in carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. Existing papers studying the optimal carbon sequestration recognize the importance of the temporality of...

Spatial dynamics of green corridors
Boulanger, Vincent; Bruchiamacchie, Max; Chauchard, Sandrine - Département Sciences Sociales, Agriculture et … - 2013
Forest management aims at building ecological networks that minimize the impacts on timber production. We formalize the construction of ecological networks in forest environments as the optimal control dynamic graph-theoretic problem. The ecological network is based on a set of bioreserves and...

Wages and Productivity Growth in a Dynamic Monopoly
Bester, Helmut; Petrakis, Emmanuel
This paper studies the intertemporal problem of a monopolistic firm that engages in productivity enhancing innovations to reduce its labor costs. If the level of wages is sufficiently low, the firm's rate of productivity growth approaches the rate of wage growth and eventually the firm reaches a...
