The Pygmalion effect : an agency model with reference dependent preferences
Daido, Kohei (contributor); Itō, Hideshi (contributor) - 2005

Intertemporal utility with heterogeneous goods and constant elasticity of substitution
Quaas, Martin F.; Baumgärtner, Stefan; Drupp, Moritz A.; … - 2019
We characterize intertemporal utility functions over heterogeneous goods that feature (i) a constant elasticity of … the goods. We find that a standard (stationary) intertemporal utility function is consistent with these two properties if … elasticities of substitution are identical, or if the instantaneous utility function is Cobb-Douglas. We also characterize the …

Recent contributions on offshoring often assume that firms can freely split their production process into separate steps which can be ranked according to the cost savings from producing abroad. We replace this assumption by the notion of a technologically determined sequence of production steps....

Market access through bound tariffs
Sala, Davide; Schröder, Philipp J. H.; Yalçin, Erdal - 2009
WTO negotiations deal predominantly with bound - besides applied - tariff rates. But, how can reductions in tariffs ceilings, i.e. tariff rates that no exporter may ever actually be confronted with, generate market access? The answer to this question relates to the effects of tariff bindings on...
