on both the supply and demand side. Crops are stochastic and exporting countries can impose export tariffs to protect … domestic food prices. Our first result is that export tariffs are strategic complements and that for poor harvests equilibrium … tariffs can explode (shedding some light on recent volatility in world food prices). We also show that the strategic interplay …

This paper reviews some of the economic experimental evidence on conformism. There is nothing to match the early psychology experiments where subjects were often swayed by the behaviour of others to an extraordinary degree, but there is plenty of evidence of conformism. This seems built-in to...

We investigate the overall impact of stock-out on individual consumers' information search behavior through both search-theoretic and experimental approaches. As the probability of stock-out increases, search intensity decreases, while the expected number of searches may increase. Such increases...

I study a model of oligopolistic competition in which consumers search for prices, but have no idea about the underlying price distribution. Consumers' behaviour satisfies four consistency requirements such that beliefs about the underlying distribution maximize Shannon entropy. I derive the...

I present a game-theoretic model where economic competition and attention competition are interdependent. On the one hand the effort to attract consumer attention depends on the value of attention to the firm which depends on the grade of price competition among all perceived firms. On the other...
