In this paper, we untangle the searchable and experiential dimensions of quality responses to entry by counterfeiters in emerging markets with weak intellectual property rights. Our theoretical framework analyzes the market equilibria under competition with non-deceptive counterfeiting and...

We examine how buyers' behaviors, sellers' profits and the social welfare (the total surplus of all sellers and buyers) vary with the order of sellers in sequential auctions where sellers have different reservation values. First, when reserve prices are exogenously set to be sellers' reservation...

Since circular model was introduced in Salop (1979), it has been the workhorse for analyzing spatial competition among differentiated firms. A common assumption in this literature is that firms are evenly spaced on the circle, even when entry is allowed. We characterize conditions for even...

We demonstrate the estimation biases that arise when stock returns from 12 month prior and 2 month prior are included within intermediate and recent past momentum profits. These biases lead to an overestimation of intermediate past momentum but an underestimation of recent past momentum in the...

This paper studies the causes, mechanisms and consequences of decreasing firm value and welfare loss in an economy under a fixed exchange rate regime when there is an unexpected appreciation in domestic currency. We also study the possible economic crisis caused by the exchange rate shock. We...

When demand is uncertain and it is costly for the retailer to forecast demand information more accurately, the supplier faces a moral hazard problem. The supplier wishes to induce the retailer to forecast more accurate information which will improve the total profit of the supply chain. This...

Airline companies usually collect a fuel surcharge rather than increase airfares when fuel prices surge. This paper initiates a theoretical model to analyze the properties of fuel surcharges. We show that the role of fuel surcharges is neutral under the present fee collection scheme, which means...
