This note reports a replication study of Falk and Kosfeld's (2006) medium control treatment. In the experimental game …, the principal decides whether or not to control the agent by imposing a compulsory transfer of 10 units. Like the original … study, we observe that control entails hidden costs. Unlike the original study, we do not observe that the hidden costs of …

We investigate the effect of market structure on market performance in the market for consumer electronics. This research is novel, because we exploit product life cycle information to build an instrumental variable for the number of firms in a market, a variable which hitherto had to be treated...

We examine turbulence over the product life cycle using the lowest possible level of industry aggregation, allowing for the use of panel data to study the evolution of single product markets. We find that replacement of exiting firms by subsequent entry plays a primary role in generating...

We analyze the strategic behavior of firms when demand is determined by a rule of thumb behavior of consumers. We assume consumer dynamics where individual consumers follow simple behavioral decision rules governed by imitation and habit as suggested in consumer research. On this basis, we...

An evolutionary model of the product life cycle is applied to derive the experience curve and the market size of (expensive) durable goods. The experience (learning) curve suggests that the real costs per unit decrease with an increasing cumulative output (Henderson's law). Based on the idea...

The present paper is concerned with the optimal control of stochastic differential equations, where uncertainty stems … imposing any boundedness condition at all. It is finally shown that, under very mild assumptions, an optimal Markov control is …
