Typically, studies of efforts of economic agents do not distinguish between efforts that directly generate returns (`return effort') and efforts that facilitate demonstration of return effort, that is, `return effort cost'. This study provides formal theoretical evidence that a distinguishing of...

I find venture capitalists' (VCs') information production activities help decrease uncertainty about the valuations of new innovations within public equity markets, resulting in price convergence within the cross-section of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) that are backed by different classes of...

I find venture capitalists' (VCs') information production activities help decrease uncertainty about asset valuations within public equity markets, resulting in price convergence within the cross-section of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) that are backed by different classes of VCs and price...

This study develops a theoretical model that parameterizes cross-sectional differences in opportunity set risk within venture capital markets. The theoretical model shows clusters of venture capital activity can be induced by non-monotonic relations that obtain between search costs for projects...

This paper introduces the family of Weighted Aumann-Shapley values for piecewise linear fuzzy games. The regular Aumann-Shapley value is not well-defined in case some differentiability condition is not satisfied. As an alternative, we introduce a family of allocation rules inspired by the...

This study develops a general equilibrium model within which self revelation of ability - that is not accompanied by any signaling - is compatible with arrival at rational expectations equilibriums (REE). In the model, economic agents either are 'confident', 'overconfident', or 'under-confident'...
