Carraro, Carlo; Sgobbi, Alessandra - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007
most economic situations, uncertainty crucially affects also bargaining processes. Therefore, in our analysis, we introduce … uncertainty over the size of the pies to be shared and assess the impacts on players’ strategic behaviour. Our results confirm … that uncertainty crucially affects players’ behaviour and modify the likelihood of a self-enforcing agreement to emerge …

On the Evolution of the Firm Size Distribution: Facts and Theory
Cabral, Luís M B; Mata, José - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001
Using a comprehensive data set of Portuguese manufacturing firms, we show that the firm size distribution is significantly right-skewed, evolving over time toward a log-normal distribution. We also show that selection accounts for very little of this evolution. Instead, we propose a simple...

Improving the Performance of Random Coefficients Demand Models: the Role of Optimal Instruments
Reynaert, Mathias; Verboven, Frank - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012
We shed new light on the performance of Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes' (1995) GMM estimator of the aggregate random coefficient logit model. Based on an extensive Monte Carlo study, we show that the use of Chamberlain's (1987) optimal instruments overcomes most of the problems that have recently...

Liberalizing a Distribution System: the European Car Market
Brenkers, Randy; Verboven, Frank - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2002
We quantify the competitive effects of removing vertical restraints, based on the recent proposals to liberalize the selective and exclusive distribution system in the European car market. We estimate a differentiated products demand system for new cars and specify a model of oligopoly pricing...
