The aggregate Le Chatelier Samuelson principle with Cournot competition
Koebel, Bertrand M.; Laisney, François - 2010
This paper studies the aggregate substitution and expansion effects triggered by changes in input prices, in a context where firms supply a homogenous commodity and compete in quantities à la Cournot. We derive a sufficient condition for the existence of a Cournot equilibrium and show that this...

Using firm optimization to evaluate and estimate returns to scale
Gorodnichenko, Yuriy - 2008
At the firm level, revenue and costs are well measured but prices and quantities are not. This paper shows that because of these data limitations estimates of returns to scale at the firm level are for the revenue function, not production function. Given this observation, the paper argues that,...

Confronting the Robinson Crusoe paradigm with household-size heterogeneity
Koulovatianos, Christos; Schröder, Carsten; Schmidt, Ulrich - 2008
Modern macroeconomics empirically addresses economy-wide incentives behind economic actions by using insights from the way a single representative household would behave. This analytical approach requires that incentives of the poor and the rich are strictly aligned. In empirical analysis a...
