In this paper we propose a three-level computational equilibrium model that allows to analyze the impact of the regulatory environment on transmission line expansion (by the regulator) and investment in generation capacity (by private firms) in liberalized electricity markets. The basic model...

We experimentally investigate a Bertrand market with homogenous goods where sellers may behave socially responsible by donating a share of their profits to an existing non-profit organization. In our experiment, we find that this Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) component is used...

Empirische Studien weisen darauf hin, dass der Gender Wage Gap – die geschlechtsspezifische Lohnlücke – im Tarifbereich geringer als im nicht-tarifgebundenen Bereich der Wirtschaft ausfällt. Dennoch ist es eine weitgehend offene Frage, wie sich die Strukturen und der Ablauf von...

Public goods provision often involves groups of contributors repeatedly interacting with administrators who can extract rents from the pool of contributions. We suggest a novel identification approach that exploits the sequential ordering of decisions in a panel vector autoregressive model to...
