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 …

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 …. Price-cost margins and bid shading are affected by the parameters of the information structure: supply functions are steeper …

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...

In this paper we examine the potential of democratic constitutions for the provision of divisible public goods in a large economy. Our main insights are as follows: When aggregate shocks are absent, the combination of the following rules yields first-best allocations: a supermajority rule, equal...

We analyze the demand and supply characteristics of the Indian telecommunications market, in order to assess the … potential effectiveness of universal access policies in developing countries. We provide some empirical evidence on the supply … the most developed ones. We finally analyze the supply side of the market, trying to assess the impact of market …

This paper analyzes tax competition when welfare maximizing jurisdictions levy source-based corporate taxes and multinational enterprises choose tax-efficient capital-to-debt ratios. Under separate accounting, multinationals shift debt from low-tax to high-tax countries. The Nash equilibrium of...

Matching mechanisms are regarded as an important instrument to bring about Pareto optimal allocations in a public good economy and to cure the underprovision problem associated with private provision of public goods. The desired Pareto optimal interior matching equilibrium, however, emerges only...

bounded rationality behavioural models. Both models are extended to include a financial friction on the supply side.The result … in both models is that production, supply of credit and the front payment to capital producers depend heavily on the …

We characterize the Pareto-frontier in a simple Mirrleesian model of income taxation. We show how the second-best frontier which incorporates incentive constraints due to private information on productive abilities relates to the first-best frontier which takes only resource constraints into...
