In this paper, we analyze the interaction between an incumbent firm's financial contract with a bank and its product market decisions in the face of the threat of entry, in a dynamic model. The main results of the paper are: there exists a separating equilibrium with no limit pricing; there are...

In this paper, we analyze the interaction between an incumbent's financial contract with a bank and its product market decisions in the face of a threat of entry, in a dynamic model with asymmetric information. The main results of the paper are: there exists a separating equilibrium with no...

This paper provides a theoretical framework to investigate the relationship between banks' capitalization and risk-taking behavior. The conventional wisdom is that relatively well-capitalized banks are less inclined to increase asset risk, because the option value of deposit insurance decreases...

In this paper, we study a version of the static Jain-Mirman (2002) model in which competition in the real sector is introduced. In this paper, we add competition in the stock sector to the Jain-Mirman (2002) paper. We show that the linear equilibrium structure is affected by this competition in...

In this paper, we study the relationship between the market structure in the real sector and the effects of insider trading. Specifically, we analyze two models, one in which the insider is a price-choosing monopolist in the real sector and the other in which he is a Cournot duopolist. The aim...

In this paper we study the real and financial effects of insider trading in a static model. In our model the insider is also the manager of a firm. Hence the insider chooses both the amount of the real output to be produced and the amount of the stock of the firm to trade. The aim of the paper...

We study the influence of the financial market on the decisions of firms in the real market. To that end, we present a model in which the shareholders’ portfolio selection of assets and the decisions of the publicly-traded firms are integrated through the market process. Financial access alters...

We embed signaling in the classical Cournot model in which several firms sell a homogeneous good. The quality is known to all the firms, but only to some buyers. The quantity-setting firms can manipulate the price to signal quality. Because there is only one price in a market for a homogeneous...

In this paper, we study a version of the static Jain-Mirman (2002) model in which competition in the real sector is introduced. In this paper, we add competition in the stock sector to the Jain-Mirman (2002) paper. We show that the linear equilibrium structure is affected by this competition in...
