We examine a housing market with price controls and show how the allocation problem can be solved through a price system. We demonstrate that the auction of Talman and Yang (2008) always generates a core allocation, thus resulting in a Pareto efficient and stable outcome.

Using data covering 38 countries across the 1965–2005 period, this paper shows that former British colonies tend to exhibit higher levels of carbon dioxide emission than other countries.

This paper investigates efficiency properties of profit-maximizing non-linear outlay schedules. It demonstrates that some well-known efficiency characteristics of the profit-maximizing non-linear outlay schedule may not continue to hold when the single-crossing condition is relaxed.
