This paper develops a general repeated game model over arbitrary time domain (which includes continuous time behaviour). A player is committed at any point in time to history independent behaviour for a positive length of ...

We use an equilibrium search framework to model a formal- informal sector labour market where the informal sector arises endogenously. In our model large firms will
be in the formal sector and pay a wage premium, while ...

Wallers (1989) model which incorporates an effort augmented production function into a
traditional Keynesian analysis of supply and demand shocks is generalised by not
restricting the elasticity of substitution between ...
In a model with rigid nominal wages, full information and competitive product markets, I show that when an effort augmented production function is incorporated into an analysis of supply and demand shocks, the outcomes are ...
There is a well established socioeconomic gradient in educational attainment, despite much
effort in recent decades to address this inequality. This study evaluates a university access
program that provides financial, ...

The Barro-Grossman/Malinvaud model is extended to include two factors of production: skilled labour with a flexible price and unskilled labour with an exogenously determined money wage. A number of simple diagrams are ...

Almost twenty-five years after the appearance of Dixit and Stiglitz’s paper on
monopolistic competition and optimum product diversity, I try to take stock of the progres which has been made in applying their approach to ...

This paper models monopoly markets on which demand is addictive as defined by Stigler and Becker; and hence dynamic. It is shown that the monopolists' equilibrium is unique and stable and the time path taken to reach it ...

A monopsony model of the labour market is developed where wages and the effort level
are chosen by the firm. Higher wages raise labour supply while higher effort reduces it. Wages will be below the socially optimal level ...

In this paper we study the production and pricing of a good by a single supplier (such as a monopolist or government) under some given optimality criterion--for example, profit maximization or social benefit maximization. ...
Among the perceived inputs in the “production” of child quality is family size; there is an extensive theoretical literature that postulates a tradeoff between child quantity and quality within a family. However, there is ...
There is an extensive theoretical literature that postulates a trade-off between child quantity and quality within a family. However, there is little causal evidence that speaks to this theory. Using a rich data set on the ...
Debate about the adequacy of public action during the Great Irish Famine is hampered by a lack of detailed information on its impact at local level. This study addresses the question of local agency with a case study of ...
