A non-robustness in the order structure of the equilibrium set in lattice games
(2012-04-18)The order and lattice structure of the equilibrium set in games with strategic complements do not survive a minimal introduction of strategic substitutes: in a lattice game in which all-but-one players exhibit strategic ... -
To What Extent Are Investment Bank-Differentiating Factors Relevant For Firms Floating Moderate-Sized IPOs?
(Springer-Verlag, 2007)One explanation provided for the relatively high and increasingly stable spreads for moderate-sized IPOs ($20-$80 million) documented in Chen and Ritter (2000) is that issuing firms focus less on price and more on a ... -
The Non-Neutrality of Debt in Investment Timing: A New NPV Rule
(Springer Verlag, 2005)Limited liability debt financing of irreversible investments can affect investment timing through an entrepreneur’s option value, even after compensating a lender for expected default losses. This non-neutrality of debt ... -
Alternative Estimates of the Effect of Schooling on Earnings

Strong Comparative Statics of Equilibria
(Elsevier, 2003-02)Some results in the monotone comparative statics literature tell us that if a parameter increases, some old equilibria are smaller than some new equilibria. We give a sufficient condition such that at a new parameter value ... -
On the (Non-)Lattice Structure of the Equilibrium Set in Games with Strategic Substitutes
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)This paper studies models where the optimal response functions under consideration are not increasing in endogenous variables, and weakly increasing in exogenous parameters. Such models include games with strategic ... -
What Drives Default and Prepayment on Subprime Auto Loans?
(Springer-Verlag, 2004)This paper uses novel data on the performance of loan pools underlying asset backed securities to estimate a competing risks model of default and prepayment on subprime automobile loans. We find that prepayment rates ... -
When Worlds Collide: Different Comparative Static Predictions of Continuous and Discrete Agent Models with Land
(Elsevier, 2008)This paper presents a difference in the comparative statics of general equilibrium models with land when there are finitely many agents, and when there is a continuum of agents. Restricting attention to quasi-linear and ... -
Value Maximization as an Ex-Post Consistent Firm Objective When Markets are Incomplete
(Walter de Gruyter, 2007)In competitive economies with private firm ownership, incomplete markets, and firm shareholders changing over time, several firm objectives have been proposed. Some are useful to understand efficiency of equilibria, and ... -
Competitive Equilibria With Incomplete Markets and Endogenous Bankruptcy
(Walter de Gruyter, 2003)This paper constructs a model of an exchange economy in which bankruptcy arises in a manner similar to what we observe. Compared to related models, this model is a more realistic representation of some markets in which ... -
