In 1982, David spent a sabbatical year in Paris at the Laboratoire ofÉconométrie de l' ´ Ecole Polytechnique. He enjoyed so much his stay there that he came back to buy a flat. The atmosphere at the Laboratoire was a little bit unusual. The large and beautiful building, right in the center of Paris, was almost empty, left by its students who had moved outside Paris, and occupied by a handful of...

We study an economy where intermediaries compete over contracts in a nonexclusive insurance market affected by moral hazard. Our setting is the same as that developed in Bisin and Guaitoli [2004]. The present note provides a counterexample to the set of necessary conditions for high effort equilibria developed in Bisin and Guaitoli [2004] and suggests an alternative equilibrium characterization.

The need for differentiated levels of Quality of Service in the Internet has motivated the development of several QoS mechanisms. This paper describes Paris Metro Pricing (PMP), the simplest differentiated services solution, proposed by Odlyzko [1]. In PMP, the service differentiation would result implicitly from dividing the network into several logically separate best-effort channels with dif...

This paper offers an indirect measure of patient welfare based on whether patients comply with the prescription they receive. Adherence behavior is supposed to reveal patients’ subjective valuations of particular therapies. We write a simple theoretical model of patient adherence behavior, that reflects the trade-off between perceived costs and observed regimen efficacy. A discrete choice frame...

Complex organization is found in many biological systems. For example, biopolymers could possess very hierarchic structure, which provides their functional peculiarity. Understating such complex organization allows to describe biological phenomena and predict molecule functions. Besides, we can try to characterize the specific phenomenon by some probabilistic quantities (variances, means, etc),...
