In this paper, we present some striking facts learned from a random subsampling of the global database of retracted academic papers, which have not been reported before and not discussed in the recent (famous) paper in Science by Brainard and You (Science 2019, doi:10.1126/science.aav8384). Our...

This paper studies an analytically tractable model of the formation and evolution of chains of production. Over time, entrepreneurs accumulate techniques to produce their good using goods produced by other entrepreneurs and labor as inputs. The value of a technique depends on both the...

The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) consists of activities that must be scheduled subject to precedence and resource constraints such that the makespan is minimized. It has become a well-known standard problem in the context of project scheduling which has attracted...

Migration networks are usually captured by the number of people from the migrant's country in the host region. Using …

This paper analyzes the welfare implications of mandatory disclosure of losses at financial institutions when it is common knowledge that some banks have incurred losses but not which ones. We develop a model that features contagion, meaning that banks not hit by shocks may still suffer losses...

This paper investigates the private provision of public goods in segregated societies. While most research agrees that segregation undermines public provision, the findings are mixed for private provision: social interactions, being strong within groups and limited across groups, may either...

As an extension, we consider networks in which each bilateral game is strategically zero-sum, a weighted potential …, which entails a generalization of Robinson's theorem to arbitrary zero-sum networks. Applications include security games …
