The directed search model (Peters, 1984) is static; its dynamic extensions typically restrict strategies, often assuming price or match commitments. We lift such restrictions to study equilibrium when search can be directed over time, without constraints and at no cost. In equilibrium trade...

We study a decentralized trading model as in Peters (1984), where heterogeneous market participants face a trade-o between price and trade probability. We present a novel proof of existence of a unique demand vector in Nash equilibrium, based on a recursive approach that exploits the...

In many situations, some people hold large money balances but have no particular urgency to spend them while others are liquidity constrained. This problem creates a role for financial intermediaries who accept nominal deposits and make nominal loans. We show that financial intermediation...

The Dual Hot-Gas Bypass Defrosting (DHBD) cycle is an effective defrosting method compared to a Reverse Cycle Defrosting (RCD) method to remove frost from the outdoor heat exchanger (HEX) of an air-to-air heat pump, especially the outdoor temperature is above 0°C. However, the DHBD method has a...

We clarify the conventional claims concerning the most popular damage measures: expectation damages (ED), constant damages (CD), and reliance damages (RD). We strictly examine strategies versus outcomes in equilibrium and make several new investigations. In terms of equilibrium outcomes, we...

We claim that Posner's nuisance rule maintains the efficiency feature even under severe informational asymmetry. This paper, as a critical assessment of an overly complicated order-reporting mechanism by Kim [2002], argues that Posner's original value-reporting mechanism alone is enough to...
