Aliprantis, C.D.; Camera, G. - Econometric Society - 2004

This work introduces a rigorous set-theoretic foundation of bilateral matching mechanisms and studies their properties … in a systematic manner. By providing a unified framework to study ilateral matching mechanisms, we formalize how … different spatial/informational constraints can be implemented via a careful selection of matching mechanisms.

Workers, Warriors and Criminals: Social Conflict in General Equilibrium

Bó, Pedro Dal; Bó, Ernesto Dal - Econometric Society - 2004

We offer a simple general equilibrium model to analyze how economy-wide forces (i.e. shocks to terms of trade, technology and endowments) will affect the intensity of social conflict over the distribution of resources. Examples of conflict activities range from crime to civil war. We show that...

Using data from the Mid-Atlantic surf clam and ocean quahog fishery, we find that firms with a preference for extreme, rather than moderate, policies are much more likely to participate in public meetings where regulation is determined. We also find that participation rates are higher for...
