▼ The three chapters of my dissertation study imperfect competition, multiproduct firms, and consumer demand. Chapter 1 estimates a structural model of consumer demand and oligopolistic retail competition in order to study three mechanisms through which retailers affect allocative efficiency and consumer welfare. First, variable markups across retail stores within a location induce a misallocation of resources. The deadweight loss from this retail misallocation can be large since a significant fraction of household consumption comes from retail goods. Second, across locations, retail markups may vary with market size. This regional variation plays an important role in recent economic geography models as an agglomeration force. In the limit, models predict that the distortion from variable markups disappears in large markets, although it is an open question, How Large is Large? Third, since retail stores are differentiated, differences in the variety of retail stores available to consumers matters for consumer welfare across locations. To quantify the importance of these mechanisms, I estimate my model using retail scanner data with prices and sales at the barcode level from thousands of stores across the US. I find that the deadweight loss and consumption misallocation from variable retail markups are economically significant. I estimate that retail markups are smaller in larger cities, and that markets the size of New York City and Los Angeles are approximately at the undistorted monopolistically competitive limit. My results show that retail store variety significantly impacts the cost of living and could be an important consumption-based agglomeration force. The second chapter of my dissertation develops and structurally estimates a model of heterogeneous multiproduct firms that can be used to decompose the firm-size distribution into the contributions of costs, quality, markups, and product scope. In this joint work with Stephen J. Redding and David E. Weinstein, we find that variation in firm quality and product scope explains at least four fifths of the variation in firm sales using Nielsen barcode data on prices and sales. We show that the imperfect substitutability of products within firms, and the fact that larger firms supply more products than smaller firms, implies that standard productivity measures are not independent of demand system assumptions and probably dramatically understate the relative productivity of the largest firms. Although most firms are well approximated by the monopolistic competition benchmark of constant markups, we find that the largest firms that account for most of aggregate sales depart substantially from this benchmark, and exhibit both variable markups and substantial cannibalization effects. The final chapter of my dissertation develops a new integrable demand system, called the Doubly-Translated CDES demand system, which is well suited to theoretical and empirical work. Commonly used analytically and computationally tractable demand systems…

▼ This thesis consists of three self-contained chapters on firm and labor market dynamics. In Chapter 1, I analyze the evolution of the U.S. labor market by developing and estimating a dynamic general equilibrium model that simultaneously accounts for the evolution of wages, employment, and educational attainment in the U.S. from 1975 to 2010. The model features overlapping generations of individuals who self-select into education, employment, and occupations in an environment with competitive markets and exogenous demand and supply shifts. It departs from existing general equilibrium studies by adopting a rich characterization of heterogeneity in the form of continuous ability distributions. I estimate the model on the Current Population Survey (CPS) using simulated method of moments. The estimated model successfully matches trends in the U.S. labor market and reveals changes in the underlying ability composition of the workforce. In particular, my results contradict earlier findings that increase in college attainment has led to a large decline in the average ability of college graduates and suggest that female selection into the workforce has become more positive over the last four decades. Using the estimated model as a basis for counterfactual experiments, I first examine the impact of exogenous demand and supply forces by allowing them to happen one at a time. I then assess composition effects and highlight the sensitivity of labor market outcomes to underlying ability heterogeneity by simulating economies with different ability distributions. The results show that composition effects have played a positive but minor role in the increase of the college premium and the narrowing of the gender wage gap, and suggest that the observed labor market changes are the results of a confluence of forces that have acted in concert or in balance with each other over the last four decades. Skill-biased technological change has increased the college premium and raised college attainment, but has also contributed to closing the gender wage and employment gaps. Gender-biased demand shifts and changing home sector values have increased female relative employment and wages, while depressing the growth in male college attainment and the college premium. I quantify the respective contributions of these exogenous forces and highlight their general equilibrium interactions. In Chapter 2, I study the graduate school enrollment decision of U.S. college graduates. The key question is that although college enrollment has increased significantly in the U.S. over the last four decades, there has been limited growth in the enrollment rate of most graduate programs, despite the fact that the returns to graduate education have increased more than the returns to college education. To understand the graduate school enrollment behavior as well as to investigate possible barriers of entry, I develop and estimate a dynamic discrete choice model of post-college work and educational investment decisions. The model consists of two stages. In the first…

▼ Nedokonale konkurenční trhy jsou důsledkem působení různých faktorů na trzích. Patří mezi ně zejména úspory z rozsahu, různá právní omezení, vysoké náklady vstupu, diferenciace produktu, územní rozptýlení a nedokonalá informovanost spotřebitelů o trhu. Hlavními druhy nedokonalých konkurentů jsou monopoly, oligopoly a monopolistická konkurence. Charakteristickou vlastností těchto nedokonalých konkurentů je jejich schopnost určovat cenu produktu. Jsou takzvanými price-makery. Nedokonalí konkurenti se setkávají s klesající poptávkovou křivkou, neboli je zde závislost ceny na objemu produkce. Této schopnosti využívají při maximalizaci zisku. Nejběžnější metodou maximalizace zisku u nedokonalého konkurenta je cenová diskriminace, díky níž je firma schopna rozčlenit své odběratele na několik skupin a pro každou skupinu určit jinou cenu stejného produktu. V praxi se setkáváme z převážné většiny pouze s nedokonalou konkurencí, vzhledem k již výše zmíněným faktorům. Dokonalá konkurence je tak spíše teoretickým stavem, kterému se v praxi nejvíce blíží obchodování na burzách.; To sum up, Imperfect competitive markets are results of influence of various market factors. They consist of economies of scale, variety of legal restrictions, a high amount of production costs, a product differentiation, a territorial dispersion and an imperfect consumer awareness of the market. Firstly, the principal sorts of imperfect competitors are monopolies, oligopolies and monopolist competition. The ability to stipulate the price of a product is characteristic for these kinds of imperfect competitors. Thus they are called price-makers. These imperfect competitors deal with a diminishing demand curve, in other words there is a dependence of a price on the volume of production. Moreover, this ability is used to maximalize a profit. Referring to the imperfect competitor, the most common method of maximalizing the profit is price discrimination, therefore the company is able to divide its customers into several groups and stipulate a different price of a same product for each of them. Nevertheless, in practice due to above mentioned factors we run across the imperfect competition in most of the cases. In addiction, the imperfect competition might be considered as a theoretical state, which is very similar to share dealing in general. Advisors/Committee Members: Škapa, Stanislav (advisor).

▼ Business cycles and demand volatility prevent demand and supply from being perfectly matched, and the existence of output gaps implies the partial dissatisfaction of either consumers or producers. More worryingly, persistent negative output gaps reveal a systematic excess of physical capacity. After the 2009 financial and economic turmoil, the issue of overcapacity turned out to be a priority in the policy agenda, especially in those countries where demand and consumptions failed to recover. The first contributions to the comprehension of excess capacity date back to the late 1970s, when available techniques and models failed to explain the counter-cyclical behavior of capacity utilization, CU, following the rise in energy prices. At the same time, the Industrial Organization literature suggested two main explanations for the rise of excess capacity. Overcapacity can arise as a result of strategic interaction (as an excessive output commitment results of Spence(1977) and Dixit (1979)) or as a reaction to demand uncertainty, as in Spencer and Brander (1992) and Gabszewicz and Poddar (1997). Also, models of international competition, such as Fagerberg (1988), explain that countries may choose to hold excess capacity to foster their international competitiveness and to match increases in demand. Although excess capacity emerges in different imperfectly competitive frameworks, the existing explanations fail to consider country or sector specific factors that firms take into account when making their capacity decisions. Throughout this thesis, we try to extend the analysis of excess capacity by looking at the impact of labour institutions. The initial hint for this analysis was provided by the dramatic excess capacity experienced by the automotive industry after the financial crises. In Detroit, the plants of the Big-3 were lining unsold vehicles, and huge parking lots, previously empty, were soon filled with cars. On the other side of the ocean, Italian, and other European, car assembly plants dramatically reduced their CU rate well below break-even. One may argue that the United States benefit from a flexible labour market, and our research question would find no fertile ground. Nonetheless, the Big-3, at that time, were forced to deal with a giant trade union, the United Auto Workers, which was able to negotiate not only unsustainable hourly wages, but also extremely costly regulations in case of lay-offs and dismissal. On the other side, Italy has always been characterized by a relatively rigid labour market, with fragmented unions and troublesome collective negotiations. Although these examples refer to a very specific sector, during a particular economic cycle, they made us wonder if and how the exogenous institutional background in which firms are to operate favors the rise of excess capacity. This thesis is thus an attempt to fill this gap in the literature. To this purpose, we initially review the existing contributions on physical capacity, and then we investigate the relation between overcapacity and… Advisors/Committee Members: supervisors: G.

▼ This dissertation is comprised of three essays that generate methods to measure the ex-ante economic impacts of agriculture technology innovations. The first essay entitled â Valuing Intellectual Property Rights in an Imperfectly Competitive Market: A Biopharming Applicationâ presents a method for valuing the intellectual property rights (IPRs) for an innovation that lowers product production costs below those associated with the patented process of a monopolist. The application to Glucocerebrosidase enzyme from transgenic tobacco suggests an intellectual property rights (IPRs) value of about 1.75 billion. Despite the innovatorâ s market power, significant surplus gains also accrue to consumers. Further, U.S. antitrust laws that prohibit IPRs acquisition by the current monopolist increase consumer welfare by almost 50 percent. The second essay entitled â Ex-Ante Analysis of the Benefits of Transgenic Drought Tolerance Research on Cereal Crops in Low-Income Countriesâ develops a framework to examine the ex-ante benefits of transgenic research on drought in eight low-income countries, including the benefits to producers and consumers from farm income stabilization and the potential magnitude of private sector profits from IPRs. The framework employs country-specific agroecological-drought risk zones and considers both yield increases and yield variance reductions when estimating producer and consumer benefits from research. Benefits from yield variance reductions are shown to be an important component of aggregate drought research benefits, representing 40 percent of total benefits across the eight countries. Further, estimated annual private sector benefits of US 178 million suggest that significant incentives exist for private sector participation in transgenic drought tolerance research. The third essay entitled â Ex-Ante Evaluation of Alternative Strategies to Increase the Stability of Cropping Systems in Eastern and Central Africaâ examines the ex-ante economic impact of transgenic drought resistance maize breeding and of conventional maize, millet and sorghum drought resistance breeding in Kenya, Uganda, and the Amhara region in Ethiopia. An expected utility framework is combined with a partial equilibrium model and a spatial drought risk zonation scheme to estimate benefits from mean yield increases and yield variance reductions at the market level as well as at the household level for maize, millet and sorghum producers in the administrative regions of each country. Results suggest that annual ex-ante benefits of 87 million, 6.8 million and 4.8 million can be generated from public sector conventional breeding research on maize, sorghum and millet, respectively. Private sector transgenic drought tolerance research may also generate substantial benefits of 97 million for maize producers and consumers, particularly through the reduction of yield variance arising from drought, and an additional 21 million as profits from intellectual property rights protection.

▼ In this thesis, I study the effects of financial frictions and in particular, imperfect banking competition, on different macroeconomic aspects. The thesis consists of a short introductory chapter and three papers. The first paper investigates the impact of imperfect banking competition on aggregate fluctuations in a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) framework. Following the global financial crisis, there has been an increasing focus on incorporating financial frictions into a DSGE model, often by introducing an agency problem which serves to amplify macroeconomic shocks. This paper examines the impact of another important financial friction, imperfect competition in banking, on aggregate fluctuations by incorporating a Cournot banking sector into a DSGE model that features an agency problem that gives rise to collateral constraints. In the presence of a binding collateral constraint, imperfect banking competition is found to have an amplification effect on aggregate fluctuations after a contractionary monetary policy shock and adverse collateral shocks. Adverse shocks that make borrowers more financially constrained and their loan demand more inelastic can induce banks with market power to raise the loan rate, resulting in a countercyclical loan interest margin that amplifies aggregate fluctuations. The second paper studies how imperfect competition in the banking sector affects financial stability. By building a model of imperfect banking competition featuring the accumulation of bank equity via retained earnings, I find that bank competition can have different short-run and long-run effects on financial stability. In the short run, less competition can jeopardize stability as it increases banks’ loan assets and thus lowers their equity-to-assets ratios (equity ratios), making them more likely to default. In the long run, less competition tends to enhance stability as banks make higher profits and accumulate equity faster over time, resulting in higher equity ratios and hence lower bank default probabilities. The extent of this long-run stability gain from less competition and whether the stability gain outweighs the efficiency loss crucially depend on banks’ dividend distribution or macroprudential policies. Empirically, I find two sets of supporting evidence for the model predictions using a large bank-level panel from EU and OECD countries spanning around 15 years. First, bank concentration, an inverse measure for competition, has a significant positive effect on the change in bank equity. Second, banks’ equity ratios are found to be negatively related to their default probabilities, which are proxied by credit default swap spreads. In the third paper, I study the impact of financial frictions in the form of borrowing constraints on the efficient allocation of physical capital. While it is widely perceived that financial frictions have adverse impact on capital allocation, the importance of this impact is difficult to quantify. This paper presents a novel two-step approach to estimate the importance…

▼ A market typically involves a relatively complex set of interactions between agents over time. Consequently, recent research in finance tries to integrate strategic behaviour of the agents in the existing models. Two important directions of research where the incidence of strategic behavior has been widely exploited are valuation of corporate debt and market microstructure. In the second chapter we develop a contingent valuation model for zero-coupon bonds with default. In order to emphasize the role of maturity time and place of the lender's claim in the hierarchy of debt of a firm, we consider a firm that issues two bonds with different maturities and different seniorage. The model allows us to analyze the implications of both debt renegotiation and capital structure of a firm on the prices of bonds. We obtain that renegotiation brings about a significant change in the bond prices and that the effect is dispersed through different channels: increasing the value of the firm, reallocating payments, and avoiding costly liquidation. Moreover, the presence of two creditors leads to qualitatively different implications for pricing, while emphasizing the importance of bond covenants and renegotiation of the entire debt. In the third chapter we develop a model of insider trading where agents have private information either about liquidation value or about supply and behave strategically to maximize their profits. The supply informed trader plays a dual role in market making and in information revelation. This trader not only reveals a part of the information he owns, but he also induces the other traders to reveal more of their private information. The presence of different types of information decreases market liquidity and induces non-monotonicity of the market indicators with respect to the variance of liquidation value. The fourth chapter is concerned also with microstructure issues, this time in connection with a taxation under uncertainty problem. We develop a model in which we consider the implications of tax report on the profits from insider trading. We model the interaction between the firm and the tax auditing agency as a principal-agent relationship with no commitment. On the other hand, the financial markets are modelled as in Kyle (1985), with the difference that the market maker will set the price conditional on two signals: the total order flow and the tax report received by the tax auditing agency. Modelling the interaction between the tax agency and the firm allows us actually to endogenize the public signal. Our model points out that the effects the interactions between the firm and the tax auditing agency have both on market maker's and insider's behaviour are significant. Thus, there exist several channels through which the tax report affects the profits of the insider. The tax report affects the liquidation value of the firm traded in financial markets in two ways: through the direct taxes honestly paid and through the auditing effort (which in our model is contingent on the tax report).… Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), true (authoremailshow), Caballé, Jordi (director).

En économie, l'analyse de la concurrence entre les firmes est d'une importance capitale. Cette thèse examine les interactions stratégiques sur les marchés différenciés en équilibre général tout en proposant les politiques publiques à mettre en œuvre afin de réduire les distorsions dues aux comportements imparfaits des firmes. La thèse prend en compte la différenciation des produits afin d'aboutir à de nouvelles conclusions ou d'étendre celles existantes et mises en avant dans la littérature. Elle vise ainsi, principalement deux objectifs. En premier lieu, la construction d'un modèle de concurrence imparfaite sur les marchés différenciés et ceci dans un cadre d'analyse en équilibre général. En second lieu, l'évaluation des conséquences du modèle en termes de politiques économiques. Les travaux ont débuté par une revue de littérature où sont abordés successivement les mécanismes de prix dans les jeux stratégiques de marché, les concepts de différenciation des produits et les modèles de théorie des jeux traitant des interactions stratégiques en équilibre général afin de modéliser les comportements imparfaitement concurrentiels. Le chapitre 2 a ainsi conduit au concept d'équilibre Cournot-Walras symétrique sur les marchés différenciés. Pour prendre en compte la différenciation des produits, il est affecté à chaque agent économique un vecteur fini de coefficients de différenciation qui exprime la préférence de l'agent pour la diversité. A la suite du modèle de différenciation, le chapitre 3 propose des mécanismes de politiques fiscales afin de réguler les pertes dues aux comportements imparfaits des firmes. Des exemples illustrent que le modèle de différenciation admet un équilibre trivial qui est nice et les prix et les allocations de l'équilibre Cournot-Walras symétrique sur produit différencié, sous certaines conditions, convergent vers l'équilibre walrasien.

In economy, the competition analysis among firms have a significance importance because of the complexity of some elements. This thesis examines the strategic interactions on differentiated markets in general equilibrium while proposing the public policies to reduce the distortions due to the imperfect behaviors. This thesis takes into account the differentiation of products in order to obtain the new conclusions and/or to extend those existing. We thus pursues two objectives. Fisrt, the construction of a model of imperfect competition on differentiated markets in a general equilibrium framework. Second, the evaluation of the consequences of the model in terms of economic policies. At beginning, we use literature review to tackle successively price mechanisms in strategic market games, product differentiation concepts and game theory models dealing with strategic interactions in order to model imperfect behaviors. This led in chapter 2 to the symmetric Cournot-Walras equilibrium concept on differentiated markets where we assign to each economic agent a finite vector of differentiation coefficients which expresses the agent's love for diversity. Following the…

L’objet de cette thèse est d’analyser comment la politique de la concurrence peut être utilisée pour améliorer le pouvoir d’achat en générant des baisses de prix et affecter la répartition des revenus. L’évaluation des conséquences sur le bien-être de l’entrée de nouveaux concurrents sur un marché a fait l’objet d’une littérature importante. Mais elle repose sur des analyses en équilibre partiel et une approche complémentaire en terme d’équilibre général peut être utile. D’autres analyses de la politique de la concurrence en terme d’équilibre général ont été effectuées pour des économies avec des rendements d’échelle croissants.Cependant, dans la mesure où il semble discutable que les secteurs dans lesquels les rendements d’échelle sont croissants soient majoritaires dans les économies réelles, il apparaît pertinent d’analyser les effets de l’entrée dans des économies "convexes". Nous nous appuyons ainsi sur des modèles simples d’équilibre général pour étudier les conséquences de la politique de la concurrence - en matière d’entrée, de fusions etc... - sur le bien-être. Afin d’analyser ses effets distributifs, nous considérons des économies composées d’agents qui se distinguent par la nature des facteurs qu’ils offrent. Nous supposons en particulier que l’un d’eux fournit une quantité de travail exogène, que nous endogénéisons par la suite. Nous montrons ainsi que la politique de la concurrence peut être conflictuelle : elle peut ne pas impacter tous les consommateurs de la même façon et bénéficier à certains, au détriment d’autres.

This thesis consists in analysing how competition policy by enhancing prices decreases,may be used to boost purchasing power and influence income distribution. A huge literature deals with the evaluation of how entry of firms within a particular sector improves welfare. But this literature mainly relies on a partial equilibrium approach. To complete this approach, a general equilibrium view point on competition policy is called for. There have been several attempts to study the welfare effects of entry in general equilibrium economies with increasing returns to scale. However, it is not clear that pervasive unexploited increasing returns to scale exist in real economies. Therefore, it seems relevant to consider the case of "convex" economies. In this perspective, we use simple general equilibrium models to examine how competition policy - with regard to entry or mergers - affects welfare. In order to study the redistributive effects of competition policy, we consider the case where several agents supply different inputs (the supply of labor is first considered as exogenous,and then endogenous). We show that competition policy is not always welfare improving for all agents.

Cette recherche s'intéresse à la modélisation des éco-industries et aux propriétés qui leurs sont généralement attribuées. Précisément, mettre l'accent sur les éco-industries requiert de faire des suppositions dont les conséquences ne sont pas triviales. Ce travail détaille ces conséquences ainsi que la pertinence de certaines. Le premier chapitre considère des éco-industries polluantes, alors que l'analyse économique sur ce sujet assume généralement que les biens et services environnementaux suppriment les polluants. Ce chapitre montre le mécanisme par lequel le marché distribue une activité aux éco-industries en fonction de leur technologie. Le deuxième chapitre enquête sur les limites à supposer une allocation de pollution positive à la solution optimale alors qu'une élimination complète serait possible. L'exemple de l'amiante montre qu'il existe des situations où la pollution-zéro est préférable à un niveau positif. Ce chapitre montre sous quelles conditions ce postulat est vrai. Le troisième travail se concentre sur la notion de services environnementaux. Ce chapitre montre que ceux-ci sont parfaitement substituables aux autorisations de polluer. L'Etat peut donc sélectionner le prix des services environnementaux et il devient possible d'établir une allocation optimale des ressources même en présence de compétition imparfaite. Enfin, le dernier chapitre détaille une supposée fusion entre un pollueur et son fournisseur de biens et services environnementaux. Il montre les répercussions de la fusion sur une firme non-intégrée et amène une discussion sur la différence entre réduction de la pollution en procédé-intégré ou en bout-de-chaîne.

This research focuses on the modeling of ecoindustries and the properties commonly assigned to them. Precisely, highlighting ecoindustries requires the making of some assumptions with nontrivial consequences. This work uncovers these consequences as well as the adequacy of some of them.The first chapter considers polluting ecoindustries, although economic analysis on the subject generally assumes that environmental goods and services suppress the pollutants. This chapter shows mechanisms through which the market distributes economic activity to ecoindustries according to their technology.The second chapter investigates the limits of supposing a positive pollution allocation at the optimal solution although complete suppression is feasible. The example of asbestos shows that there are situations in which zero-pollution is preferred to a positive amount. The chapter shows the conditions under which this hypothesis is true.The third work focuses on the concept of environmental services. This chapter shows that environmental services and pollution allowances are perfect substitutes, then the government can decide on their prices so that it is possible to decentralize a first-best allocation of resources even in the presence of imperfect competition.Finally, the last chapter details a fictional fusion between a polluter and its environmental goods and services supplier. It shows the…

Dans cette thèse nous nous interrogeons sur l'émergence d'une complémentarité stratégique entre l'agriculture et la biodiversité dans les territoires à haute valeur environnementale. Nous étudions l'exemple de la Camargue, zone humide d'intérêt international, où l'enjeu est de concilier agriculture et protection de l'environnement. Nous réalisons d'abord une analyse du contexte camarguais, en insistant sur les rapports ambivalents entre agriculture et biodiversité . Dans la mesure où la réforme future de la PAC va venir remettre en question les conditions d'octroi de ces aides, autant que leur volume global, le développement de la riziculture camarguaise passe à terme par son association à une image de terre sauvage et naturelle. Cette complémentarité stratégique de fait peut permettre de concevoir les futures politiques publiques et de justifier le maintien des aides à la riziculture camarguaise, par sa contribution à la gestion durable de la biodiversité. Nous examinons ensuite les conditions économiques d'émergence d'une riziculture biologique, dans ce contexte particulier. Les conditions de marché, et plus précisément la présence d'une concurrence imparfaite, caractérisés par la concentration de la fourniture d'intrants (herbicides et semences) en un petit nombre de fournisseurs. Leurs stratégies d'adaptation au développement des pratiques d'agriculture biologique sont contraintes par les conditions de marché et limitées aux quantités offertes. Nous étudions à quelles conditions un équilibre stratégique existe, et excluons des équilibres extrêmes (riz biologique dominant / exclu). Nos résultats placent les stratégies d'offre variétale au c?ur de ces interactions stratégiques, c'est pourquoi nous prolongeons cette approche stratégique par l'étude des déterminants économiques de la diversité variétale dans les exploitations rizicoles camarguaises. Celle-ci confirme la place accordée aux stratégies de niche, et met en avant le rôle des opportunités de marché et des réseaux dans les choix de porte-feuille de cultivars par les agriculteurs, au-delà des contraintes structurelles de l'exploitation. Enfin, une enquête de type "choice experiments" fait apparaître l'influence des normes collectives dans les préférences des riziculteurs camarguais pour les technologies de production dont ils disposent. Les résultats de cette étude empirique montrent qu'une grande majorité des producteurs pourrait adopter des technologies sans intrants chimiques, à condition d'être accompagnés de compensations financières équivalentes à celles accordées actuellement sans condition dans le cadre de la PAC. Au-delà du cas d'étude, la thèse fournit donc des enseignements utiles pour la conception de politiques publiques capables de concilier efficacité économique et développement durable. Elle est aussi une contribution à la réflexion sur la gestion intégrée multi-acteurs de l'agriculture et de la biodiversité à l'échelle d'un territoire à haute valeur environnementale.

Cette thèse étudie le système de distribution alimentaire au Vietnam fondée sur une approche de concurrence imparfaite. Le premier chapitre analyse le comportement de marché des intermédiaires dans le système de distribution alimentaire traditionnel. Nous modélisons le comportement des intermédiaires dans tous les cas de compétition de marché afin d'identifier l'impact du pouvoir de marché sur les producteurs alimentaires en amont, et sur les consommateurs en aval du système de distribution alimentaire traditionnel.La relation compétitive entre les différents circuits de distribution alimentaire est étudiée dans le second chapitre. Nous modélisation la compétition entre les systèmes de distribution alimentaire traditionnelle et moderne. Nous examinons la condition de coexistence qui permet aux deux circuits d'être active dans chaque cas spécifique de compétition de marché.Le troisième chapitre étudie le choix de circuit optimal des agriculteurs quand les coopératives agricoles soutiennent les petits producteurs dans l'accès au système de distribution alimentaire moderne. Nous introduisons deux circuits de distribution verticalement liés par la demande. Nous étudions le flux de quantité des petits producteurs aux consommateurs au moyen d'un équilibre de Nash, et nous abordons la question de la distribution des agriculteurs par un équilibre de libre entrée.Finalement, le quatrième chapitre analyse l'effet direct de la politique sur le système de distribution alimentaire. Nous proposons le modèle théorique de la réforme agraire, et étudions son impact sur le système de distribution alimentaire.

This dissertation studies the food distribution system in Viet Nam based on an imperfect competition approach.The first chapter analyzes the market behavior of the intermediaries in the traditional food distribution system. We model the intermediary behavior in all cases of market competition to recognize the impact of their market power on the food producers in the upstream, and on the consumers in the downstream of the traditional food distribution system.The competitive relationship between different food distribution channels is studied in the second chapter. We model the competition between the traditional and the modern food distribution system to analyze how the market behaves at equilibrium. We moreover investigate the coexistence condition which allows both channels to be active in each specific case of market competition.The third chapter studies the optimal channel choice of the farmers when agricultural cooperatives support these small producers accessing the modern food distribution system. We introduce two distribution channel vertically linked by demand. We study the quantity flow from small producers to the consumers by mean of a Nash equilibrium and address the question of the distribution of the farmers by a free entry equilibrium.Eventually, the fourth chapter analyzes the policy implication directly toward the food distribution system. We propose the theoretical model of land reform and study its impact on…

▼ Restricted transfers, or "Money follows people", are a policy instrument that combines public provision of private goods with competition between suppliers. Fee-for-service health care and school vouchers are examples. I find that restricted transfers have two unintended consequences, categorical inequality and competition attenuation, which threatens their promise to deliver the advantages of both government (categorical equality) and the market (competition). Most economists believe that competition (Smith, 1776; Hayek, 1968) drives innovation and thus productivity growth. Friedman (1955) famously argues that restricted transfers allow for higher quality at lower cost than government production. The intuition behind the two unintended consequences is as follows: the quality a consumer receives depends not only on her direct spending (price paid), but also on her acquisition activities. Examples of acquisition activities are travel, search, information gathering, and bargaining. Holding price constant, the more a consumer is willing to engage in acquisition activities, the higher quality she will receive. But, as Southworth (1945) points out, restricted transfers distort consumption. The consumer can, and will, partially undo that distortion by engaging in less acquisition activities compared to what she would do, if the direct spending had been the result of her own volition. Categorical inequality (ch. 1) occurs since for a normal good the poorer a consumer is, the more she is distorted, and thus the less she is willing to engage in acquisition, which undoes categorical equality. Competition attenuation (ch. 2) occurs as the consumption distortion implies that consumers are less willing to engage in acquisition activities than under ordinary circumstances. This means that suppliers operate in a market where consumers are less willing to switch suppliers for that requires acquisition activities. The result of chapter 1, the positive quality-income correlation, relies on quality being a normal good. Quality, unlike quantity, is merely ordinal. Normality is conventionally dened with respect to the demand function, i.e. linear budget sets. So the question arises what normality means when budget sets are not intrinsically linear. Chapter 3 untangles the denition of normality from linear budget sets, which allows chapter 4 to show that normality of a good is invariant to any order-preserving transformation of its dimension. Thus irrespective of any particular scaling of quality, and shape of the budget set, a consumer's preference is either normal in quality or not.

Over the last fifteen years, the connection between free trade and the environment has been the subject of considerable debate. Among other things, it has been proposed that freer trade may harm the environment if it induces national governments to compete by undercutting each others’ environmental standards. We assess this proposition in a federal economy with free movement of capital and goods, but labour that is immobile. Our analysis shows that if the member states are small, firms perfectly competitive and pollution non-transboundary, the national governments’ choice of environmental standards coincide with that of the federal government’s. However, if the third assumption is relaxed, without cooperation, all states choose less strict standards than the federal government, even if pollution is only partially transboundary. If we assume monopolistically instead of perfectly competitive firms, the result that non-cooperative regulations are federally efficient when pollution is non-transboundary holds no longer. Nonetheless, there is nothing to suggest that environmental policy is less strict under non-cooperation than under cooperation. Intuitively, this is because the choice of emission tax by one country imposes a number externalities on the other. These externalities are partly positive and partly negative. Without assigning values to at least one of the model’s parameters, we are not able to say whether the negative or the positive externalities dominate, that is, whether the non-cooperative equilibrium is characterised ecological dumping or not-in-my-back-yard. In the special case of perfectly transboundary pollution, we find that ecological dumping occurs regardless of the choice of values for the model’s other parameters. We contribute to the literature in three ways. First, we show that the existence of pollution that spills from one country into another works in favour of ecological dumping both in perfect and in monopolistic product market competition. Second, we show that for ecological dumping to occur, a priori, pollution must be perfectly transboundary if firms are monopolistically competitive, whereas it suffices that pollution is partially transboundary if firms are perfectly competitive. Third, we show that perfect competition, and the standard results associated with it are obtained as a special case of monopolistic competition when the monopolistically competitive firms’ market power is eliminated.

▼ The continuing momentum in establishing Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) has triggered my interest in investigating some important theoretical aspects of both multilateralism and regionalism. In particular, this Ph.D. thesis approaches these aspects by using models which include imperfect competition in commodity markets, product differentiation and strategic behavior on the part of the economic decision makers (taken here to be governments and firms). Features, that is, which are widespread in the world we live in.The First Chapter of this thesis, “Product Differentiation and the ‘Most Favored Nation’ Clause” aims at offering a richer insight on the reasons that lie behind the adoption of the MFN tariffs by trading countries in a world where the bulk of trade is in differentiated products. Furthermore, this chapter attempts to shed light on the discussion regarding the interpretation of the term “like products”, which appears in numerous places in GATT legislation, beginning from Article I, and has yet to be interpreted by WTO panels and the Appellate Body. The remaining three chapters of the thesis are guided by the idea that a principal may benefit from passing authority or power to an agent who is different than herself. Various examples of the delegation decision process one might find specifically in managerial, labor and public economics. The mainstream of the notion of delegation in international trade literature has been addressed in preferential agreements such as customs union. One of the distinguishing characteristics of customs unions is that member-states commit themselves in setting a common external tariff (CET) or a subsidy in their trade with non-member countries. However, by explicitly recognizing the strategic aspects of trade policies, a member-state may find to its advantage to delegate authority to set the external policy to its partner. The determination of the optimal policy maker in the union that sets this common trade policy is investigated in the remaining three chapters of my thesis.The Second Chapter of the thesis, “Harmony and Disagreement in Customs Union: the Role of Demand”, examines how the level of demand can influence the choice of the policy maker as well as the cohesion of a customs union.An interesting, probably, insight of this chapter that could partially be a policy recommendation is that in periods of recession that lead to a fall in demand the strains between the union members and, particularly, between the more and the less cost efficient ones increase. In such cases, intra-union transfers from the “rich” to the “poor” might be needed in order to secure the stability and the cohesion of the union, to the benefit of all. In the Third Chapter, “Delegation in a Tripartite Customs Union”, the analysis of the previous chapter is extended to investigate how the delegation decision is affected in a customs union composed of three, rather than two, countries that differ in terms of cost efficiency. The Fourth Chapter, “International Capital Mobility and…

In this dissertation we analyze the need and modes of regulation of a duopoly that is vertically differentiated in environmental quality. In the first essay, we study the impacts of an exogenous tax on emissions per unit of production when the market is partially covered and the cost of quality is quadratic in quality. We show that the emission tax increases the product's environmental quality, enhances competition, expands output, decreases aggregate emissions and increases social welfare. In the second essay, we characterize the first-best ad valorem tax/emission tax policy when the market is fully covered and the cost of quality is linear in quantity and quadratic in quality. The first-best policy that couples a uniform valorem tax and a subsidy to consumers who purchase the high environmental quality variant is also characterized and so are the second-best policies when only one instrument is available. In the third essay, we endogenize the choice of a unit emission standard. We show that, when the market is partially covered, the optimal unit emission standard is the slacker the more polluting the differentiated commodity and the higher the marginal damage from emissions. When the differentiated commodity is very polluting or the marginal damage from pollution is very high, no optimal binding standard exists. In the fourth essay, we study the impact on quality choice and aggregate emissions of two social norms. The first norm socially rewards consumers who choose the environmentally friendlier variant of the differentiated commodity, while the second punishes those consumers who purchase the more polluting variant. Our results suggest that the impacts of a social norm that rewards the purchase of environmentally friendlier products and disregards consumption reduction depend crucially on whether the market for the differentiated commodity is fully or partially covered. If it is partially covered, the norm may be detrimental to the environment in that it may induce an increase in aggregate emissions and lead to deterioration of the environment. We show that aggregate emissions increase at the margin with social rewards. A social norm, which punishes the consumers, who purchase the more polluting variant decreases aggregate emissions.

The main purpose of the present dissertation is to study the link between economic development and interregional/bilateral economic relations. The theoretical analysis follows the methodology of a framework of bilateral trade and factor mobility following the Fujita, Krugman and Venables (1999) spatial transformation of Dixit Stiglitz (1977) model with monopolistic competition, increasing returns to scale and iceberg type transport costs. In particular, we expand the basic model of Fujita, Krugman and Venables with monopolistic competition according to the following two points. First, capital is introduced as an additional production factor in manufacture, in order to study the effects of interregional flows of production factors on development. Second, we introduce more than one branches in the sector of tradables, in order to realize intra-industry and inter-industry trade relations. Our theoretical framework offers some interesting and non-predictable results within the mainstream neoclassical theory for real incomes and economic development due to factors’ mobility. Moreover, these results recommend the possibility of extensions to useful proposal s for economic policy. It is also important the fact that introducing Pred’s hypothesis for cumulative process of regional economic development in our analysis, we can relate the perspective of economic development, particularly the perspective of cumulative regional development, to the region’s specific production structure and trade performance. In the empirical research of the present dissertation, we make use of panel data for European Union. In the first research, we examine the relationship and the direction of causation between trade and growth using separate equations as well as a system of them. In our second research, we study the welfare effects of factors’ mobility under imperfect competition, applying the methodology proposed by Mundlak (1978), which distinguishes between temporary and permanent effects. Finally, in our third and last empirical research, we study the trends towards convergence of the European economy at international and intranational/domestic level, by exploiting two types of analysis: the diagrammatic and statistical analysis on the one hand and the econometric analysis on the other. In this study, we apply the methodology proposed by Pesaran et al. (1999). On the whole, the three empirical researches of the present dissertation enlighten and contribute to the study of the European economy. More specifically, we showed that the strengthening of economic growth can arise from targeted selection of trade partners, while we highlighted some exceptional parts of factors’ mobility, mostly as long as for the consequences on economic welfare and real incomes. Finally, we contributed in the study of the diverging trend which characterizes the European economy and support the viewpoint of OECD that the procedure of economic growth in western or developed economies evolves in parallel with a growing and persisting domestic inequality.
