Economists say that Law of Equilibrium applies to systems of wealth as well. There is no clear idea as to how this Law operates. In systems of matter and energy equilibrium is reached by movement of matter/energy from higher level/concentration to lower concentration. Similar process operates in...

This paper characterizes interim efficient mechanisms for public good production and cost allocation in a two-type environment with risk neutral, quasi-linear preferences and fixed size projects, where the distribution of the private good, as well as the public goods decision, affects social...

We study the issue of project choice when a risk-averse agent must choose whether to invest in two projects of the same type (focus) or of different types (diversification). Projects of the same type are subject to common type-specific shocks. Hence focusing is more risky within each period, but...
