This paper investigates how a retailer's store brand supply source impacts vertical pricing and supply channel protability. Using chain-level retail scanner data from major supermarkets in Boston prior to the leading retailer's divestiture of its store brand milk processing to a major brand...

This article develops a framework to analyze voluntary marketing initiatives aimed at reducing children’s exposure to high-calorie packaged foods. Our empirical investigation focuses on children’s ready-to-eat cereal; we begin by estimating a limited awareness differentiated product demand...

We present an overlapping-generations (OLG) macroeconomic model that applies a behavioral interpretation of preferences for goods that generate health risks. In this paper proneness to poor health is viewed as a cognitive miscalculation by economic agents between their expected health state over...

In this paper we examine the nite sample performance of two estimators one developed by Blundell, Chen, and Kristensen (2007) (BCK) and the other by Gagliardini and Scaillet (2007) (TIR). This paper focuses on the generalization and expansion of these estimators to a full nonparametric...
