Dynamic efficiency of product market competition
Hinloopen, Jeroen; Vandekerckhove, Jan - 2007
We consider the efficiency of Cournot and Bertrand equilibria in a duopoly with substitutable goods where firms invest …

Efficiency effects of unit-based pricing systems and institutional choices of waste collection
Dijkgraaf, Elbert; Gradus, Raymond - 2014
Much attention has been paid to the influence of the institutional form of waste collection on costs. We extend this literature in three directions by including the unit-based pricing system. First, we show that unit-based pricing systems are more important from a cost-minimizing point of view...

Technological inefficiency and the skewness of the error component in stochastic frontier analysis
Carree, Martin Anthony - 2002
This paper concentrates on negatively skewed one-sided distributions as an explanation of the occurrence of positive (negative) skewness in the case of stochastic production (cost) frontieranalysis. It takes as example the binomial distribution that can have negative or positive skewand derives...

Quantifying the scope for efficiency defense in merger control : the Werden-Froeb-Index
Goppelsroeder, Marie; Schinkel, Maarten-Pieter; … - 2006
This paper introduces the Werden-Froeb Index (WFI) to assist in evaluating merger-specific efficiencies in horizontal mergers. The index measures the weighted average reduction in marginal costs required to restore pre-merger equilibrium prices and quantities after the (full or partial) merger...

Education and efficient redistribution
Dur, Robert A. J.; Teulings, Coen N. - 2003 - This version: June 2003
Should education be subsidized for the purpose of redistribution? The usual argument against subsidies to education above the primary level is that the rich take up most education, so a subsidy would increase inequality. We show that there is a counteracting effect: an increase in the stock of...
