I study a market where agents with jointly owned heterogeneous goods trade subject to the constraint that each agent ends up with one good. In this market the existence of an efficient, incentive compatible, individually rational and budget balanced mechanism depends on the shares of the agents....

We study chip-strategy equilibria in two-player repeated games. Intuitively, in these equilibria players exchange favors by taking individually suboptimal actions if these actions create a "gain" for the opponent larger than the player's "loss" from taking them. In exchange, the player who...

This paper proposes the new hypothesis that the loss of innovative efficiency is greater than the loss of productive … efficiency in Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs). SOE reform in China has been able to achieve substantial improvements in … SOE productive efficiency by using supervision and incentive mechanisms to establish adequate symmetry between residual …

What were the distributional consequences of the recent demonetization in India? Can the implementation of demonetization be improved to mitigate its distributional impact? This paper answers these questions using a dynamic contracting model featuring costly state verification and...

I define constrained efficient direct mechanisms as those that are not Pareto dominated within the set of direct mechanisms that satisfy some given feasibility constraints – incentive compatibility and other constraints. I show a standard equivalence with maximization of a social welfare...
