We endogenize the liquidity and the quality of private assets in a tractable incomplete-market model with heterogeneous agents. The model decomposes the convenience yield of government bond into a "liquidity premium" (flight to liquidity) and a "safety premium" (flight to quality) over the...

Dynamic behavior of miscible CO2-oil mixtures in nanopores is the heart of CO2-EOR and CO2 storage in shale reservoirs. However, the underlying physics resulting from scale effects remains unclear due to the lack of in-depth mechanisms analysis and powerful theoretical models. In this work, a...

A large number of financial assets are traded in both exchanges and over-the-counter markets (i.e., centralized and decentralized markets, CM and DM hereafter, respectively). Moreover, as documented by Biais and Green (2019), the 20th century has witnessed a secular migration of asset trade from...

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of family ownership on cooperative research and development (R&D). Drawing on the ability and willingness paradox framework in family business research, the authors suggest that family ownership influences cooperative R&D via two opposing...

This paper characterizes conditions under which centralized and decentralized markets (CM/DM) co-exist for asset trading. The asset payoff and trading motive are seller's private information. CM is immune to search frictions, but suffers from adverse selection. DM with bilateral trading may...

We provide a theory to investigate the implications of time-varying bailout policy for rational bubbles in an infinite-horizon production economy. In particular, we ask two questions. First, should the government bail out asset bubbles? Second, if yes, how? In our model, entrepreneurs face...

The traditional literature treat wage dispersion and firm dynamics, which are closely connected to each other, in isolation. This paper delivers a unified treatment to wage dispersion and firm-size distribution by developing a real-option-theoretic approach. The model is tractable with analytic...

Emotion plays a significant role in both institutional and individual investors' decision making process. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence available that addresses how investors' emotions affect commodity market returns. This study examines the short-term predictive power of...
