This article develops a multi-period production model to examine the optimal dynamic behaviour of a large monopolistic value-maximizing firm that manipulates its valuation as well as the price of its output. In the pre-commitment equilibrium the firm’s output and labour demand are decreased,...

This Paper develops a continuous-time two-sector model to study the economic effects of an import quota during the period of time over which it is imposed. One of the sectors is protected by a quota, which in our set-up manifests itself as an integral constraint on the flow of imports of the...

The aim of this paper is to explore the structure of cities as a function of labor differentiation, gains to trade, a fixed cost for constructing the transportation network, a variable cost of commodity transport, and the commuting costs of consumers. Firms use different types of labor to...

This paper proposes a dynamic risk-based model that captures the high expected returns on value stocks relative to …, but that shocks to the time-varying price of risk are not. As long-horizon equity, growth stocks co-vary more with this … time-varying price of risk than value stocks, which co-vary more with shocks to cash flows. When the model is calibrated to …

Among the most important pieces of empirical evidence against the standard representative agent, consumption-based asset pricing paradigm are the formidable unconditional Euler equation errors the model produces for cross-sections of asset returns. Here we ask whether calibrated leading asset...

On the contrary, the … the equity risk-premium and expected dividend growth precisely because expected returns fluctuate at those frequencies …, and co-vary with changing forecasts of dividend growth. The findings imply that both the market risk-premium and expected …

This paper examines the extent to which individual investors provide liquidity to the stock market, and whether they are compensated for doing so.We show that the ability of aggregate retail order imbalances, contrarian in nature, to predict short-term future returns is significantly enhanced...
