The existence of R&D spillovers or externalities i.e. the effects of firms' research activities on others firms activities was theoretically established by Arrow 1962a, but few empirical studies have addressed their effects on firm's economic performance ( i.e. productivity growth) and...

A dominant firm holding import quota engages in inter-temporal price discrimination when facing a competitive fringe engaged in seasonal production. This causes a welfare loss that comes in addition to the loss attributable to limitation of imports below the free trade level.

Cet article propose une estimation de la production potentielle et un modèle d’écart de production au Liban en utilisant plusieurs méthodes statistiques comme la méthode de la tendance linéaire, le filtre d’Hodrick-Prescott et la méthode de la tendance segmentée. Dans la mesure où le...

This paper presents a two-country migration model, following Galor (1986), in which the world population consists of two types individuals. Individuals with a high (low) degree of altruism give to their children a high (low) level of bequest. Production uses three inputs: immobile land, mobile...

This paper investigates the effect of altruism on the pattern of labour migration in a two-country overlapping generations model. We show that differences in degrees of altruism across countries lead to bilateral migration flows. Starting from the autarkic steady-state equilibrium, restrictions...

In a 2-country monetary union, this paper studies a Stackelberg game be- tween the Central Banker and two symmetrical countries. The central banker chooses the money supply. In each country, there is a union who acts as a monopoly of labor supply. Firms are wage and price takers. We analyze the...

We study incentive-compatible labour contracts in the case where individual productivity, preference for leisure and time preference rate are unobservable by the principal in a two-period model. We first reduce this three-dimensional problem to a standard one-dimensional screening problem....
