This study develops and estimates a model to empirically identify two behavioral effects (namely consumption flexibility and state dependence) that may underlie temporal and horizontal assortment choice, using scanner panel data where consumption information is unavailable. The proposed approach...

Waste activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant is rich in polysaccharides and proteins and thus is a potential substrate for producing hydrogen. In this study, the hydrogen yield could be largely enhanced by using filtrates of waste sludge. The hydrogen yield was effectively increased...

Firms normally disclose quality information to consumers using two alternative formats: either directly to consumers or indirectly through downstream retailers. This study investigates optimal disclosure strategies/formats in a channel setting with bilateral monopolies. It shows that retail...
