In many retail markets, prices rise faster than they fall. We develop a model of search with
learning to explain this phenomenon of asymmetric price adjustments. By extending our
static game analysis to the dynamic setting, we demonstrate that asymmetric price ...

Loyalty discounts are nonlinear tariffs that condition rebates or marginal prices on meeting
aggregate purchase or market share targets. These discounts are widespread, and are often
the impetus for consumers to form buying groups, or group purchase organizations (GPOs ...

Abstract This paper considers a nonlinear pricing framework with both horizontally and
vertically differentiated products. By endogenizing the set of consumers served in the
market, we are able to study how increased competition affects nonlinear pricing, in ...

We study an infinitely repeated Bertrand game in which an iid demand shock occurs in each
period. Each firm receives a private signal about the demand shock at the beginning of each
period. At the end of each period, all information but the private signals becomes public. ...

Abstract We analyze a repeated prisoners' dilemma game played in a community setting
with heterogeneous types. The setting is such that individuals choose whether to continue
interacting with their present partner, or separate and seek a new partner. Players' types ...

Abstract This paper studies how increased competition affects nonlinear pricing, in particular
the variety of contracts offered by firms. We present a model with both horizontally and
vertically differentiated products, with the set of consumers served in the market being ...

Abstract We develop a model of nonstationary relational contracts in order to study internal
wage dynamics. Workers are heterogenous and each workers' ability is both private
information and fixed for all time. Learning therefore occurs within employment ...

Abstract We present a formal analysis of grade inflation. In a labor market where firms must
rely on job applicants' college transcripts to assign them to jobs, universities can choose to
grade-inflate, ie, give good grades to its bad students, thus helping them secure better ...

Abstract We consider a repeated, community, prisoner's dilemma game. After playing the
component prisoner's dilemma game in some period a player observes her partner's action
and can choose to separate from the partner and seek a new partner or to continue ...

This paper studies optimal relational contracts in motivating workers in a market setting. We
find that labor markets with higher turnover costs will use more subjective performance pay
and less efficiency wages and that in those markets, the total wage payment is lower and ...

Abstract: In an economy where agents have different productivities and mobility, we
compare a unified nonlinear optimal taxation with the equilibrium taxation that would be
chosen by two competing tax authorities if the same economy were divided into two states. ...

We study the dynamics of entry and exit based on firms' learning about their relative cost
positions. Each firm's marginal cost of production is its own private information, thereby
facing ex ante uncertainty about its cost position. The (inelastic) market demand can ...

Abstract This paper studies a cheap talk model with two senders having partial and non-
overlapping private information communicating with an uninformed receiver. The two
senders' private information is complementary in the sense that the marginal impact of one ...

Abstract This paper studies how increased competition affects nonlinear pricing, in particular
the number of contracts offered by firms. We present a model with both horizontally and
vertically differentiated products, with the set of consumers served in the market being ...

Abstract This paper studies optimal wage contracts for motivating workers in a market
setting. There are three ways to motivate workers: efficiency wages at the cost of a wage
premium; objective performance pay at the cost of effort distortion; subjective performance ...

We study investment cycles in a social learning model, where investment returns fluctuate
according to a Markov process. In our Waiting Game, agents observe the investment history
and a private signal correlated with the current period's investment return. Agents then ...

Abstract We study investment cycles and information flows in a model of social learning in
which investment returns fluctuate according to a Markov process. In our Waiting Game,
agents observe the investment history and a private signal correlated with the current ...

Abstract We develop a relational contract model in order to study contract dynamics in labor
and credit market relationships. For concreteness, the model is framed in a labor market
setting. Workers are heterogenous and each workers' ability is both private information ...

Abstract We show that the free-riding problem in short-lived teams is not as severe as
previously thought. Two critical conditions are: team members can observe each other's
effort periodically, which makes mutual monitoring possible; technology is convex ( ...

Abstract This paper studies the interaction between information aggregation and investment
cycles with investments exhibiting strategic complementarity. The composition of information
aggregation varies across different phases of cycles, which in turn affects the course of ...

Abstract We study an infinitely repeated Bertrand game in which an Li. d. demand shock

Abstract This paper develops a new search model to explain the long tail effect. Search
targetibil# ity or the quality of search is explicitly modeled. Consumers are searching for right
products within right categories. Mainstream consumers are distinguished from long tail ...

Abstract This dissertation studies the role of market friction in overcoming moral hazard in
market settings without information flows. It consists of four chapters. The first chapter
introduces the general topic. The second chapter studies optimal wage contracts for ...

Abstract We analyze markets with both horizontally and vertically differentiated products
under both monopoly and duopoly. In the base model with two consumer types, we identify
conditions under which entry prompts an incumbent to expand or contract its low end of ...
