Rent seeking games with tax evasion
We consider the static and dynamic models of Cournot duopoly with tax evasion. In the dynamic model we introduce the time delay and we analyze the local stability of the stationary state. There is a critical value of the delay when the Hopf bifurcation occurs. Mathematics Subject Classification: 34K18, 47N10; Jel Classification: C61, C62, H26
متن کاملRent-Seeking Group Contests with Private Information
A model of rent-seeking group contest is developed. The contested good is a local public good. Individuals have private information concerning their valuation for the contested good. I restrict effort levels to be dichotomous, allowing me in turn tractability of the equilibria. I show existence of an equilibrium. All contestants exert positive expected effort in equilibrium. From simulation res...
متن کاملRent-Seeking Contests with Incomplete Information
We consider rent-seeking contests with two players that each have private information about their own cost of effort. We consider both discrete and continuous distributions of costs and give results for each case, focusing on existence of equilibria. JEL Classification: D72; C72
متن کاملRent-Seeking and Innovation
Innovations and their adoption are the keys to growth and development. Innovations are less socially useful, but more profitable for the innovator, when they are adopted slowly and the innovator remains a monopolist. For this reason, rent-seeking, both public and private, plays an important role in determining the social usefulness of innovations. This paper examines the political economy of in...
متن کاملMarket Structure, Union Rent Seeking, and Firm Profitability
Considerable attention has been given to studies concluding that monopoly profits associated with industry concentration provide the primary source from which labor unions capture rents [Salinger (1984); Karier (1985); Freeman (1983)]. This conclusion has obvious appeal. It implies that the impact of concentration on profitability has been systematically understated in empirical studies owing t...
