This paper investigates the limit properties of mean-variance (mv) and arbitrage pricing (ap) trading strategies using … literature for the exact pricing case to two other cases of asymptotic no-arbitrage and the unconstrained pricing scenarios. The …

Multimarket Linkages, Cartel Discipline and Trade Costs
Agnosteva, Delina - 2018
We build a model of tacit collusion between firms that operate in multiple markets to study the effects of trade costs. A key feature of the model is that cartel discipline is endogenous. Thus, markets that appear segmented are strategically linked via the incentive compatibility constraint....

Multi-Pollutant Point-Nonpoint Trading with Participation Decisions : The Role of Transaction Costs
Reeling, Carson - 2018
High transaction costs and thin participation plague water quality trading and prevent markets from delivering expected efficiency gains. Point sources generate a single pollutant, while nonpoint sources generate multiple, complementary pollutants. We develop a dynamic search model of...

Trade Cost Reduction and Foreign Direct Investment in a Vertical Structure
Haque, M. Emranul - 2017
Although empirical evidence shows that a lower trade cost and higher FDI may go hand in hand, the well-known “proximity-concentration” hypothesis does not support this view. We provide a simple explanation for this phenomenon. We show that a lower trade cost on the intermediate goods (with...

Even Small Trade Costs Restore Efficiency in Tax Competition
Becker, Johannes - 2010
We introduce transport cost of trade in products into the classical Zodrow and Mieszkowski (1986) model of capital tax competition. It turns out that even small levels of transport cost lead to a complete breakdown of the seminal result, the underprovision of public goods. Instead, there is a...

Should Continued Family Firms Face Lower Taxes than Other Estates?
Grossmann, Volker - 2009
Inheritance taxes may induce heirs to discontinue family firms. Because firm dissolution incurs transaction costs, a preferential tax treatment of transferred family businesses seems to be desirable from a macroeconomic viewpoint. The support of dynastic succession, however, entails also a cost...

Dark Costs, Missing Data : Shedding Some Light on Services Trade
Anderson, James E. - 2015
A structural gravity model is used to estimate barriers to services trade across many sectors, countries and time. Since the disaggregated output data needed to flexibly infer border barriers are often missing for services, we derive a novel methodology for projecting output data. The empirical...

Merger Policy in a Quantitative Model of International Trade
Breinlich, Holger - 2016
In a two-country international trade model with oligopolistic competition, we study the conditions on market structure and trade costs under which a merger policy designed to benefit domestic consumers is too tough or too lenient from the viewpoint of the foreign country. Calibrating the model...
