This paper estimates the welfare costs of the main medium-term options for significantly reducing U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, including carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems applied economy-wide and to the power sector only, and an emissions rate standard for power generation. The key theme is that welfare costs depend importantly on how policies interact with distortio...

This study demarcates cost-inefficiency in Chinese banks into X-inefficiency and rent-seeking-inefficiency. A protected banking market not only encourages weak management and X-inefficiency but also public ownership and state directed lending encourages moral hazard and bureaucratic rent seeking. This paper uses bootstrap non-parametric techniques to estimate measures of X-inefficiency and rent...
This paper studies the wasteful effect of bureaucracy on the economy by addressing the link between rent-seeking behavior of government bureaucrats and the public sector wage bill, which is taken to represent the rent component. In particular, public officials are modeled as individuals competing for a larger share of those public funds. The rent-seeking extraction technology in the government ...
The Rent parameter has been widely used to characterize interconnect complexity of designs. The Rent power-law relationship is often used for a priori wire estimation, which is an enabling component of timing closure methodologies. However, the Rent parameter does not explicitly address timing information. In this paper, we propose studies of circuit timing structure that can potentially help i...
A central result in the theoretical literature on strategic trade is the rent-shifting hypothesis, the idea that governments can employ trade policy as a precommitment device to transfer profit from foreign to domestic firms. To our knowledge, however, the rent-shifting hypothesis remains untested empirically. This paper constructs a theory-based empirical test of rent-shifting behavior that...
The belief that elections reduce rent seeking by government officials is widely held, likewise the belief that rent seeking decreases as elections are less subject to corruption. In this paper we develop and test a model in which these beliefs are carefully examined. Our model indicates that, while elections may provide a disincentive for rent seeking, this disincentive (1) need not actually ma...
Peppard and Ward (2004) have instigated the development of the concept of IS capability based on Resource-based Theory (RBT). The goal of this paper is to add scrutiny to their initiative by drawing on the complementarities between RBT and Industrial Economics, and by focusing explicitly on the mechanisms around information that lead to IS-based rents. We introduce an IS rent framework with IS ...
