. Price-cost margins and bid shading are affected by the parameters of the information structure: supply functions are steeper …A finite number of sellers (n) compete in schedules to supply an elastic demand. The costs of the sellers have … uncertain common and private value components and there is no exogenous noise in the system. A Bayesian supply function …

A Bayesian supply function equilibrium is characterized in a market where firms have private information about their … uncertain costs. It is found that with supply function competition, and in contrast to Bayesian Cournot competition …, competitiveness is affected by the parameters of the information structure: supply functions are steeper with more noise in the …

This research explores the origins of the distribution of time preference across regions. It advances the hypothesis, and establishes empirically that geographical variations in the natural return to agricultural investment have had a persistent effect on the distribution of time preference...

Productivity varies greatly among farmers and the source of that variation is not fully understood. Using a unique Indian household survey, we estimate peer effects on agricultural revenue. Results show that 60% of farmers' revenue is explained by peers. Input expenditures and land allocation to...

I examine whether transitory events can tip the scales against authoritarian regimes and lead to persistent democratization. I think of situations where this is a possibility as democratic tipping points. The transitory events I focus on are rainfall shocks in the most agricultural countries in...

, conventional linear models of price dynamics such as the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) can lead to erroneous inferences … about cointegration relationships, price adjustments and relative values. We propose the use of regime-switching models to … address these issues. Our regime switching model uses price data to infer whether pricing is oil-driven (integrated) or gas …
