At present, sustainable regional development represents an outstanding area og Romanian and international economic research activity, as well as a founding issue in working out social and economic analysis necessary for lauching national stratgy and development plans. The regional construction,...

The sustainable development and, also, the regional development are the last development concepts of the final years of the second millennium. Despite the differences apparition time of the two concepts, it is obvious that the humanity future depends of them and moreover of their speed...

Romanian economic activity has lately showed toward a decreasing tendency, due to the unsteadiness of macroeconomic policies, to the maintaining of arrears in the economy, and to the lack of willingness both in trying to eliminate the non-efficient enterprises from economy, and in restructuring...

Although major economy's development along the 20-th century is mostly a result of industrialization, especially as an effect of industry expansion and of trading manufactured products, it is obviously that its impact over the human development is not limited to good production: through human...

Several recent papers argue that contracts provide reference points that affect ex post behavior. We test this hypothesis in a canonical buyer-seller relationship with renegotiation. Our paper provides causal experimental evidence that an initial contract has a highly significant and...

We present an international trade model with multiproduct firms. Firms are heterogeneously endowed with two types of capabilities that jointly determine the trade-off within firms between managing a large portfolio of products and producing at low marginal cost. The model can explain many of the...

This paper reports data from a laboratory experiment on two-period moral hazard problems. The findings corroborate the contract-theoretic insight that even though the periods are technologically unrelated, due to incentive considerations principals can benefit from offering long-term contracts...

We study a continuous-time game of strategic experimentation in which the players try to assess the failure rate of some new equipment or technology. Breakdowns occur at the jump times of a Poisson process whose unknown intensity is either high or low. In marked contrast to existing models, we...
