A Perfect Specialization Model for Gravity Equation in Bilateral Trade based on Production Structure
Although initially originated as a totally empirical relationship to explain the volume of trade between two partners, gravity equation has been the focus of several theoretic models that try to explain it. Specialization models are of great importance in providing a solid theoretic ground for gravity equation in bilateral trade. Some research papers try to improve specialization models by addi...
متن کاملBiding Strategy in Restructured Environment of Power Market Using Game Theory
In the restructured environment of electricity market, firstly the generating companies and the customers are looking for maximizing their profit and secondly independent system operator is looking for the stability of the power network and maximizing social welfare. In this paper, a one way auction in the electricity market for the generator companies is considered in both perfect and imperfec...
متن کاملOn Storage Behavior under Imperfect Competition
This paper investigates the economic implications of storage behavior under imperfect competition. It evaluates the economic dynamics implied by a storage firm under alternative market structures. This includes perfect competition as well as imperfect competition under Cournot behavior. The conceptual analysis is used to specify and estimate a model of storage behavior, with an econometric appl...
متن کاملCompetition, Innovation, and the Business Cycle
A. This paper reports quantitative implications of a stochastic endogenous growth model in which growth displays a concave relationship with respect to competition. This model is consistent with unavoidable facts related to market structure, that other innovation-based endogenous growth models fail to replicate. This model shows promising empirical properties in both the shortand long-te...
متن کاملA Simple Model of Imperfect Competition with Walrasian Features
IMPERFECT competition is a pervasive part of modern industrial economies, where high levels of concentration in product markets often coexist with unionised labour markets. Most standard macroeconomic models, however, assume that markets are perfectly competitive. This paper provides a simple framework in which we are able to explore some of the implications of imperfect competition for the mac...
