This paper develops an alternative model for the discriminatory pricing behavior of physicians. By introducing search cost explicitly, it generates a result that price discrimination will be practiced by all physicians even if the elasticity of market demand is less than one and all or most of...

We study a variational inequality problem whose domain is defined by infinitely many linear inequalities. A discretization method and an analytic center based inexact cutting plane method are proposed. Under proper assumptions, the convergence results for both methods are given. We also provide...

The paper discusses the issues of heterogeneity and stability of cross-country growth regressions that have been used to study the problem of convergence. Almost all studies use pooled regressions. The paper considers the issue of pooling under heterogeneity using a hierarchical Bayesian method...
