A Note on ’Emissions Taxation in Durable Goods Oligopoly’

Measuring Market Power in a Durable Goods Oligopoly: the Automobile Market

How much competition is a secondary Market ? by Jiawei Chen , Susanna Esteban and Matthew Shum April 2010

Do active secondary markets aid or harm durable goods manufacturers? We build a dynamic equilibrium model of durable goods oligopoly, with consumers who incur lumpy costs when transacting in the secondary market, and calibrate it to U.S. automobile industry data. By varying transaction costs, we obtain a direct measure of the competitive pressure that secondary markets create on durable goods m...

Durable Goods and Sectoral Effects of Monetary Policy

High degree of interest sensitivity of durable goods is now a stylized fact in the literature of monetary policy. This literature, however, does not provide a clear and consensual explanation for the modalities of this stylized fact. In this paper, two independent empirical models are performed to shed more light on the cross-sectoral impacts of monetary policy. The results of first study indic...

Competitive supply of durable goods under stochastic fluctuation in stock

This paper presents a theoretical model in which the stock growth rate of durable goods has stochastic fluctuation over time. It concludes that a social planner increases the expected percentage rate of production since uncertainty increases the user cost from consumer’s point view.
