Field evidence suggests that people belonging to the same group often behave similarly, i.e.,behaviour exhibits social interaction effects. We conduct an experiment that avoids theidentification problem present in the field. Our novel design feature is that each subjectsimultaneously is a member...

We develop a theory of firm scope in which integrating two firms into one facilitates the allocation of resources, but leads to weaker incentives for effort, compared with nonintegration. Our theory makes minimal assumptions about the underlying agency problem. Moreover, the benefits and costs...
