Gains from Synchronization
This paper investigates the transmission mechanisms of noise and volatility between economies through trade links, and the e ects of synchronization on business cycles.

We identify conditions under which international economic links reduce the economic output noise emanating from noise within the indiv...

Efficiency Gains from Mergers by Lars-Hendrik Röller, Johan Stennek and Frank Verboven The purpose of this discussion paper is to contribute to the analysis of two questions. Should a merger control system take into account efficiency gains from horizontal mergers, and balance these gains against the anti-competitive effects of mergers?

We hypothesize that the premium now paid for heavily advertised brands reflects demand for quality assurance, which could be provided at lower cost to competing firms through third-party certification.

We characterize pension systems along three dimensions: 1) actuarial vs. nonactuarial, 2) funded vs. pay-as-you-go, 3) defined-contribution vs. defined-benefit. Increasing the degree of actuarial fairness, by strengthening the linkage between contributions and benefits, reduces labor market distortions and may increase welfare in a Pareto-efficiency sense. Increasing the degree of funding impli...

Our model economy captures the behavior of the U.S. labor market...
