The effect of search frictions on wages
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Vuuren, Aico van - 2005
Labor market theories allowing for search frictions make marked predictions on the effect of the degree of frictions on wages. Often, the effect is predicted to be negative. Despite the popularity of these theories, this has never been tested. We perform tests with matched worker-firm data. The...

One-way flow networks : the role of heterogeneity
Galeotti, Andrea - 2004
I study a one-way flow connections model in which players are heterogeneous with respect to values and the costs of establishing a link. I first show that values and costs asymmetries are crucial in determining the level of connectedness of a network. Interestingly, unconnected equilibria are...

Network formation with heterogeneous players
Galeotti, Andrea; Goyal, Sanjeev - 2002
This paper studies network formation in settings where players are heterogeneous with respect to benefits as well as the costs of forming links. Our results demonstrate that centrality, center-sponsorship and short network diameter are robust features of equilibrium networks. We find that in a...

Lobbying of firms by voters
Dahm, Matthias; Dur, Robert A. J.; Glazer, Amihai - 2009
A firm may induce voters or elected politicians to support a policy it favors by suggesting that it is more likely to invest in a district whose voters or representatives support the policy. In equilibrium, no one vote may be decisive, and the policy may gain strong support though the majority...

Leaders, factions and electoral success
Crutzen, Benoît; Flamand, Sabine - 2021 - This draft: April 9, 2021
We develop a formal model of the internal game between the leader and the factions of a party, to study the effect of party leadership on electoral success. Factions are of interest or of principle. The probability of winning an election is increasing in the leader's charisma, but also in party...

Acceleration of technology adoption withing firms
Koellinger, Philipp; Schade, Christian D. - 2008
This paper studies the diffusion of multiple, related technologies among firms. The results suggest an endogenous acceleration mechanism of technology adoption: The more advanced a firm is in using a particular set of technologies, the more likely it is to adopt additional, related technologies....

The impact of environmental policy on foreign trade : Tobey revisited with a bilateral flow model
Beers, Cees van; Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. van den - 2000
We consider the microfoundations controversy from the perspective of economic evolution. Although the analogy between biology and economics has been noted before, it has rarely focused on clarifying the micro-macro distinction in economic theory and modelling. The micro-macro debate is more...
