Studies of second-best environmental regulation of identical polluting agents have invariably ignored potentially welfare-improving asymmetric regulation by imposing equal regulatory treatment of identical firms at the outset. Yet, cost asymmetry between oligopoly firms may well give rise to...

We study firms' incentives to acquire private information in a setting where subsequent competition leads to firms …' later signaling their private information to rivals. Due to signaling, equilibrium prices are distorted, and so while firms … benefit from obtaining more precise private information, the value of information is reduced by the price distortion. Thus …

In this paper we experimentally test a theory of boundedly rational behavior in a "lemons market." We analyzed two different market designs, for which perfect rationality implies complete and partial market collapse, respectively. Our empirical observations deviate substantially from these...
