Learning and Collusion in New Markets with Uncertain Entry Costs
Bloch, Francis; Fabrizi, Simona; Lippert, Steffen - HAL - 2011
This paper analyzes an entry timing game with uncertain entry costs. Two firms receive costless signals about the cost of a new project and decide when to invest. We characterize the equilibrium of the investment timing game with private and public signals. We show that competition leads the two...

Determinants of the Innovation Propensity in Tunisia: the Central Role of External Knowledge Sources
Ayadi, Mohamed; Rahmouni, Mohieddine; Yildizoglu, Murat - HAL - 2009
This article is dedicated to the analysis of the first innovation survey of the Tunisian firms. Starting from basic … mechanisms of innovation processes, we test a set of conjectures adapted to a developing country like Tunisia. We analyze the … from external knowledge sources in order to exhibit significant innovation propensities. The large size is also a necessary …

On the optimal control of a linear neutral differential equation arising in economics
Boucekkine, Raouf; Fabbri, Giorgio; Pintus, Patrick-Antoine - HAL - 2011
In this paper, we apply two optimization methods to solve an optimal control problem of a linear neutral differential equation (NDE) arising in economics. The first one is a variational method, the second follows a dynamic programming approach. Due to the infinite dimensionality of the NDE, the...

Rainwater Harvesting under Endogenous Capacity of Storage : a solution to aquifer preservation?
Stahn, Hubert; Tomini, Agnès - HAL - 2011
This paper studies groundwater management in the presence of rainwater harvesting (RWH). We propose a two-state model that takes into account the standard dynamics of the aquifer and the dynamics of the storage capacity and we assume that the collection of rainwater reduces the natural recharge....

Optimal control in infinite horizon problems : a Sobolev space approach
Van, Cuong Le; Boucekkine, Raouf; Saglam, Cagri - HAL - 2005
In this paper, we make use of the Sobolev space W1,1(R+, Rn) to derive at once the Pontryagin conditions for the standard optimal growth model in continuous time, including a necessary and sufficient transversality condition. An application to the Ramsey model is given. We use an order ideal...

The optimal carbon sequestration in agricultural soils : does the dynamics of the physical process matter ?
Ragot, Lionel; Schubert, Katheline - HAL - 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 and convergence: The spatial AK model
Boucekkine, Raouf; Camacho, Carmen; Fabbri, Giorgio - HAL - 2013
We study the optimal dynamics of an AK economy where population is uniformly distributed along the unit circle. Locations only differ in initial capital endowments. Spatio-temporal capital dynamics are described by a parabolic partial differential equation. The application of the maximum...
