This paper discusses the prevalence of Silicon Valley-style localizations of individual
manufacturing industries in the United States. Several models in which firms choose
locations by throwing darts at a map are used to test whether the degree of localization is ...

This paper discusses the dynamic implications of learning in a large population coordination
game, focusing on the structure of the matching process which describes how players meet.

Abstract We examine the labor market for mutual fund managers. Using data from 1992–
1994, we find that “termination” is more performance-sensitive for younger managers. We
identify possible implicit incentives created by the termination-performance relationship. ...
The degree of geographic concentration of individual manufacturing industries in the US has
declined only slightly in the last twenty years. At the same time, new plant births, plant
expansions, contractions and closures have shifted large quantities of employment across ...

Scholars in many fields of economics have become very interested in Silicon Valley-style
agglomerations of individual industries (J. Vernon Henderson, 1988; Michael E. Porter,
1990; Paul Krugman, 1991). These agglomerations are striking features of the economic ...

We examine whether mutual fund performance is related to characteristics of fund managers
that may indicate ability, knowledge, or effort. In particular, we study the relationship

This paper studies agents who consider the experiences of their neighbors in deciding
which of two technologies to use. We analyze two learning environments, one in which the

Abstract The paper considers the repeated prisoner's dilemma in a large-population random-

G Ellison - Review of economic studies, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
The paper examines the behaviour of “evolutionary” models with ɛ-noise like those which
have been used recently to discuss the evolution of social conventions. The paper is built
around two main observations: that the “long run stochastic stability” of a convention is ...
We examine the competition between a group of Internet retailers that operate in an

Over the last three decades there has been a dramatic increase in the length of time
necessary to publish a paper in a top economics journal. This paper documents the
slowdown and notes that a substantial part is due to an increasing tendency of journals to ...
Many industries are geographically concentrated. Many mechanisms that could account for
such agglomeration have been proposed. We note that these theories make different
predictions about which pairs of industries should be coagglomerated. We discuss the ...

This article reexamines the experience of the Joint Executive Committee, an 1880s railroad
cartel, to assess the applicability of the Green and Porter (1984) and Rotemberg and
Saloner (1986) theories of price wars. After discussing necessary modifications to the ...

Abstract This paper examines competitive price discrimination with horizontal and vertical
taste differences. Consumers with higher valuations for quality are assumed to have
stronger brand preferences. Two models are considered: a standard competitive price ...
This paper develops a model of evolving standards for academic publishing. It is motivated
by the increasing tendency of academic journals to require multiple revisions of articles and
by changes in the content of articles. Papers are modeled as varying along two quality ...

Abstract This paper discusses the use of bounded rationality in industrial organization.
There is a long tradition of such work: Literatures from various decades have discussed
irrationalities by firms and consumers. Three main approaches are found in the recent ...
Abstract This paper shows that larger auctions are more efficient than smaller ones, but that
despite this scale effect, two competing and otherwise identical markets or auction sites of
different sizes can coexist in equilibrium. We find that the range of equilibrium market ...

We examine two reasons why a monopoly supplier of software may introduce more
