Why are Goods and Services more Expensive in Rich Countries?
Empirical studies show that tradable consumption goods are more expensive in rich countries. This paper proposes a simple yet novel explanation for this apparent failure of the law of one price: Consumers’ utility from tradable goods depends on their consumption of complementary goods and services. Monopolistically competitive firms charge higher prices in countries with more complementary good...
متن کاملStrategic Behavior when Allocating Indivisible Goods
We study a simple sequential allocation mechanism for allocating indivisible goods between agents in which agents take turns to pick items. We focus on agents behaving strategically. We view the allocation procedure as a finite repeated game with perfect information. We show that with just two agents, we can compute the unique subgame perfect Nash equilibrium in linear time. With more agents, c...
متن کاملRybczynski Theorem with More Factors than Goods
● The weak inequality simply means that each factor is either (a) fully employed or (b) not fully employed. In this case, there are two unknown outputs but there are three (equality or inequality) constraints. ● It is necessary to have two independent equations in order to determine two unknown variables uniquely. ⇒ One of the constraints is redundant, i.e., that resource will not be fully empl...
متن کاملStrategic Behaviour When Allocating Indivisible Goods
We survey some recent research regarding strategic behaviour in resource allocation problems, focusing on the fair division of indivisible goods. We consider a number of computational questions like how a single strategic agent misreports their preferences to ensure a particular outcome, and how agents compute a Nash equilibrium when they all act strategically. We also identify a number of futu...
متن کاملMore Life vs. More Goods: Explaining Rising Health Expenditures
ture of U.S. public policy discussions for at least the last 20 years. One trigger of these debates is the statistical evidence on the rising cost of health care. For example, according to a survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation (2004), health insurance premiums for employer-sponsored plans increased by 11.2% between the spring of 2003 and the spring of 2004, the fourth consecutive y...
