Urban Aerial Pesticide Spraying Campaigns: Government Disinformation, Industry Profits, and Public Harm
Vallée, Manuel - 2023
This book examines social processes that have contributed to growing pesticide use, with a particular focus on the role governments play in urban aerial pesticide spraying operations. Beyond being applied to sparsely populated farmland, pesticides have been increasingly used in densely populated...

Product differentiation and entry timing in a continuous time spatial competition model
Ebina, Takeshi; Matsushima, Noriaki; Shimizu, Daisuke - 2014
We extend the well-known spatial competition model (d'Aspremont et al., 1979) to a continuous time model in which two firms compete in each instance. Our focus is on the entry timing decisions of firms and their optimal locations. We demonstrate that the leader has an incentive to locate closer...

On preemption in discrete and continuous time
Steg, Jan-Henrik - 2016
The seminal work of Fudenberg and Tirole (1985) on how preemption erodes the value of an option to wait raises general questions about the relation between models in discrete and continuous time and thus about the interpretation of its central result, relying on an "infinitely fine grid". Here...

The folk theorem with imperfect public information in continuous time
Frei, Christoph; Bernard, Benjamin - In: Theoretical Economics 11 (2016) 2, pp. 411-453
We prove a folk theorem for multiplayer games in continuous time when players observe a public signal distorted by Brownian noise. The proof is based on a rigorous foundation for such continuous-time multiplayer games. We study in detail the relation between behaviour and mixed strategies, and...

Optimal stopping under ambiguity in continuous time
Riedel, Frank - 2010
We develop a theory of optimal stopping problems under ambiguity in continuous time. Using results from (backward) stochastic calculus, we characterize the value function as the smallest (nonlinear) supermartingale dominating the payoff process. For Markovian models, we derive an adjusted...
