Credit quantity and credit quality: Bank competition and capital accumulation

In this paper we show that bank competition has an intrinsically ambiguous impact on capital accumulation. We further show that it is also responsible for the emergence of development traps in economies that otherwise would be characterized by unique equilibria. These results explain the conflicting evidence emerging from the recent empirical studies of the effects of bank competition on econom...

I consider markets in which eight firms compete deciding simultaneously on price and quantity with a given capacity. I got eight independent experimental data. At any of 65 rounds the same eight firms met each other in the same market. If a firm made high enough losses it went bankrupt and left the market. In this case capacity was distributed among surviving firms following a proportional prof...

Sperm Competition Selects for Sperm Quantity and Quality in the Australian Maluridae

When ejaculates from rival males compete for fertilization, there is strong selection for sperm traits that enhance fertilization success. Sperm quantity is one such trait, and numerous studies have demonstrated a positive association between sperm competition and both testes size and the number of sperm available for copulations. Sperm competition is also thought to favor increases in sperm qu...
