▼ 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…

Essays on the Determinants of Employment and Wages

▼ What determines the employment and wage levels paid by firms? While a long literature focuses on standard supply and demand factors as the key determinant, this dissertation consists of three chapters in which institutional factors and market or firm characteristics play a key role in determining labor-market outcomes. A central theme throughout is that in the presence of imperfections in the labor market, changes to the institutional framework or market environment can have large impacts on workers.
The first chapter studies whether labor market concentration impacts workers' outcomes. To study this question, I utilize a large sample of mergers and acquisitions in the United States between the years 1999-2009 to estimate the causal effect of local labor market concentration on labor-market outcomes. I find that mergers generating significant shifts in labor market concentration result in market-level declines in earnings. While antitrust authorities have historically focused on product-market
competition, the results suggest that the largest mergers may warrant antitrust scrutiny based on labor market power alone.
The second chapter studies how privatization of state-owned enterprises impacts the labor market. While privatization remains a popular policy tool in many countries, workers and trade unions often fear it will reduce wages and employment. In this chapter, I study a privatization program that occurred in Brazil during the 1990s. I find that earnings for privatized workers firms fall substantially after privatization. Additionally, wages fall at private-sector firms connected to privatized firms by labor mobility.
The third chapter, co-authored with Joshua Bernstein, combines quasi-experimental evidence with a structural model of the labor market to identify the aggregate effect of employment protection legislation (EPL) on unemployment and output. In particular, we exploit the tenure-dependence built into EPL in Brazil (EPL only applies to jobs that last three months) to identify its effect on the hazard rate of job termination. We then map this effect to general equilibrium outcomes through a structural model of the labor market. We find that EPL in Brazil leads to a significant drop in aggregate output through an increase in the unemployment rate.

▼ Little attention has been paid to spatial competition in the agricultural chemical market. This study uses a primary data set to investigate the extent and importance of spatial competition in the major row crop-producing region of Georgia.
The distance to closest competitor, number of competitors within a 15-mile radius, number of farms, number of commercial farms, and gross row crop sales are variables included in the study. Price was collected through a survey of agricultural chemical
retailers. The results reveal demand shifters are statistically significant, but not economically significant and the spatial variables are insignificant in both respects. These results are generally in agreement with a limited number of other studies
that conclude local retailers have little impact on pesticide pricing.

▼ The research explores type A and B personality players and their preferences for competing with high score strangers or non-high score friends in an endless runner game in order to identify a potential method for increase player interactions. The retention rates of endless runner mobile games have been saturated since 2013. Game analysts think that this is a consequence of the lack of social interaction inherent to most endless runner games. To counter this saturation and increase retention, a modified challenge system should be instituted to facilitate interaction between players. However, there is insufficient research regarding player interactions in the context of mobile gaming. Therefore, the current study was conducted, incorporating the fields of PC and console gaming and psychology, focusing on a self-developed endless runner game to investigate player personalities and their preferences for competing with high score strangers or non-high score friends. The type A/B personality theory defined by Friedman and Jordan in the1950s was used to examine ten students from the same class who attend Drexel University. The study revealed that type A students initially liked to compete with strangers but switched competing with classmates after playing the game ten times in a row. Type B students like competing with classmates consistently during the duration of the study. The research found that personality affects player preferences with regard selecting competitors in the endless runner game. This finding offers one way to improve player interactions through the use of a challenge system to encourage players to interact with the preferred kinds of competitors based on their personalities.

▼ 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…

▼ This collection of essays investigates the determination of employment and wages.
Chapter 1 explores how firms respond to changes in the demand for their output by comparing employers from which purchases were and were not made through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This analysis finds that companies responded to these demand shocks by increasing both employment as well as wages during the Great Recession. Taken together, these equilibrium labor market outcomes provide evidence of widespread and substantial monopsony power among employers in the United States.
Chapter 2, which is co-authored with Alan B. Krueger, examines the extent to which economic rents are shared among different types of workers within a given company by utilizing the price of crude oil as an instrument for the productivity of petroleum extraction firms in the United States. This study demonstrates that the elasticity of wages with respect to exogenous shocks to productivity can be heterogeneous throughout a firm. Notably, we find that workers at the top of the earnings distribution tend to possess greater bargaining power over wages relative to their lower paid counterparts.
Chapter 3, which is co-authored with both Alan B. Krueger as well as Judd N. L. Cramer and was published in the Spring 2014 issue of the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, considers the labor market outcomes of workers who become long-term unemployed in the United States. Our results suggest that unemployed workers’ attachment to the labor force generally declines as their duration of joblessness rises. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the nonparticipation of long-term unemployed workers is a critical component of the cyclical patterns in the labor market that have traditionally been observed over the course of the business cycle.

▼ 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.

▼ 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…

▼ 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).…

▼ This study investigates the market conditions under which the Greek manufacturing sectors operate, and provides a formal measurement and determination of the observed degree of rigidity in nominal prices using panel modelling techniques. Two parameters in particular are found to capture the essence of market imperfections and price rigidity arising from various sources: the first parameter is conjectural variation elasticity which defines the degree of market divergence from perfect competition; and the last parameter refers to the speed of price adjustment towards the equilibrium level, which is estimated along with a set of important factors that affect this parameter. The data sample of this research consists of 56 3-digit manufacturing sectors, as defined by Eurostat (NACErev2) over the period 1980-2012, while the econometrical approach mainly incorporates the Fixed and Random Effects Model for panel data. The estimation process is divided into four steps: in the first step, the degree of market power and the speed of price adjustment are estimated for the whole manufacturing industry; in the second step, the same process is reiterated for the 3-digit sectors individually; in the third step the estimations are conducted for each year over 1980-2012; in the last step, the effects of a set of variables on the speed of price adjustment are estimated in order to provide an adequate interpretation of how market imperfections and price rigidities can be formed and how they relate to each other. By using the Greek economy as a case study, the empirical results provide significant evidence of a degree of market power similar to the one of a duopoly accompanied by relatively slow price adjustment in the 56 manufacturing sectors and the 33 years over 1980-2012.

▼ This dissertation investigates various aspects of the U.S. offshore crude oil and natural gas production market. In the first essay, I investigate whether energy firms producing U.S. offshore oil and natural gas benefit from the volatility
of crude oil prices. Lease rights to offshore oil and natural gas production in the U.S. are determined through auctions in which the leases, at least in part, do not respond to changes in the price of oil. The leasing process precludes the possibility
of contracts perfectly extracting all rent at any point in time. My results however suggest that contracts, despite their lack of responsiveness to changes in the price of crude, have on average done a good job extracting rent over time. In the second
essay, I investigate the profitability of a sample of international oil companies and find that real profits of these oil companies display unit root behavior. One theory, the persistence in profit hypothesis, presumes this finding to indicate the
existence of market power. Using a simple model of supply and demand I show that this implication may not hold. I propose an alternative test to ascertain whether barriers to entry exist within the U.S. offshore oil and natural gas production industry.
The test suggests that offshore oil and gas production is competitive, which is contrary to public and main stream media opinion. Most importantly, this study produces a viable alternative to the persistence in profits method. In the last essay, I
conduct a natural experiment to determine the effect of the windfall profit tax (1980-1988) on the U.S. oil industry. I estimate marginal cost for a sample of international energy firms for both U.S. and foreign production. With these estimates I then
conduct a difference in differences experiment to determine the effect of the windfall profit tax on several indicators of domestic investment and production. The results of this experiment suggest that the windfall profit tax had little effect in terms
of relative importance.

▼ 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.

▼ This thesis examines the size and distribution of benefits from the use of transgenic tobacco as a production vehicle for pharmaceutical proteins. Ex-ante welfare benefits are estimated for the introduction of two biotech innovations. In both cases economic surplus model with
imperfect competition is employed to assess the size and distribution of benefits from these alternative uses of tobacco. An introductory chapter presents an overview of the topic followed by chapters 2 and 3 which contain the two case studies.
The first paper (chapter 2) examines the case of Human Serum Albumin production from transgenic tobacco. The second paper (chapter 3) examines the case of Glucocerebrosidase Enzyme from transgenic tobacco. Results demonstrate that new products from bio-pharming applications stand to generate significant social benefits. The introduction of Human Serum Albumin generates average annual gains of 46 million and the introduction of Glucocerebrosidase Enzyme generates average annual gains of 500 to 600 million.

▼ 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'apport des modèles d'équilibre général pour l'évaluation de la politique de la concurrence. : Contribution of general equilibrium models to competition policy's evaluation.

▼ 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.
In this research, we assessed the emergence of a strategic…

▼ 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…

▼ This collection of essays investigates the determination of employment and wages.
Chapter 1 explores how firms respond to changes in the demand for their output by comparing employers from which purchases were and were not made through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This analysis finds that companies responded to these demand shocks by increasing both employment as well as wages during the Great Recession. Taken together, these equilibrium labor market outcomes provide evidence of widespread and substantial monopsony power among employers in the United States.
Chapter 2, which is co-authored with Alan B. Krueger, examines the extent to which economic rents are shared among different types of workers within a given company by utilizing the price of crude oil as an instrument for the productivity of petroleum extraction firms in the United States. This study demonstrates that the elasticity of wages with respect to exogenous shocks to productivity can be heterogeneous throughout a firm. Notably, we find that workers at the top of the earnings distribution tend to possess greater bargaining power over wages relative to their lower paid counterparts.
Chapter 3, which is co-authored with both Alan B. Krueger as well as Judd N. L. Cramer and was published in the Spring 2014 issue of the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, considers the labor market outcomes of workers who become long-term unemployed in the United States. Our results suggest that unemployed workers’ attachment to the labor force generally declines as their duration of joblessness rises. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the nonparticipation of long-term unemployed workers is a critical component of the cyclical patterns in the labor market that have traditionally been observed over the course of the business cycle.

▼ Observed trade flows provide one metric to gauge the
degree of international goods market segmentation. Deviations from
the law of one price provide another. New survey data on retail
prices for a broad cross section of goods across 13 EU countries,
compiled by Crucini, Telmer and Zachariadis (2005), show that (i)
the average dispersion of law of one price (LOOP) deviations across
all goods is 28 percent and (ii) the range of that dispersion
across goods is large, varying from 2 percent to 83 percent.
Quantitative multi-country ricardian models, a la Eaton and Kortum,
use data on bilateral trade volumes to estimate international trade
barriers or trade costs. I find that a multi-country ricardian
model with perfectly competitive markets, in which heterogeneous
and asymmetric trade costs are carefully calibrated to match
observed bilateral trade volumes, can account for 85 percent of the
average dispersion but only 21 percent of the variation in price
dispersion.; When the model is augmented to permit heterogeneity in
local costs of distribution – across goods and countries – and is
calibrated to match data on distribution margins, it can reproduce
96.5 percent of the average dispersion of law of one price
deviations and 32 percent of the variation in that dispersion.
Changing the market structure in the production of goods, from
perfectly competitive to
competition in prices, leads to a large
overprediction of average price dispersion but helps to account for
44 percent of the variation in price dispersion, still leaving 56
percent of variation unexplained. Heterogeneity in trade costs, and
in local distribution costs, and variable markups in the production
of goods cannot account for observed heterogeneity in the
dispersion of law of one price deviations.

▼ 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.
