We use extreme value theory (EVT) to develop insights about price theory. Our analysis reveals “detail-independent” equilibrium properties that characterize a large family of models. We derive a formula relating equilibrium prices to the level of competition. When the number of firms is large, markups are proportional to 1 ¡  0 £ −1 (1− 1)¤¢, where  is the random utility noise distributi...

with the eight sassanians reliefs, naghsh-e rustam in marvdasht is a prominent complex safeguarding a complete collection of the sassanian period. seven of these reliefs have been repeatedly the subject of investigations thanks to their relatively better conditions. the fifth relief, however, has not yet been studied due to their damaged status. it depicts the full-face portrait of a sassanid k...

The security market line (SML) accords with the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) by taking on an upward slope in pessimistic sentiment periods, but is downward sloping during optimistic periods. We hypothesize that this finding obtains because periods of optimism attract equity investment by unsophisticated, overconfident, traders in risky opportunities (high beta stocks), while such traders ...

I propose a new test for the existence of …nancing constraints that can be applied to a variety of settings. The approach builds on tests based on investment-cash ‡ow sensitivities and deals with two major criticisms of the standard approach. First, I use a real measure, namely …rm productivity, to control for investment opportunities instead of a proxy for the …nancial measure Q. Theoretically...

The present paper introduces new sign tests for testing for conditionally symmetric martingaledifference assumptions as well as for testing that conditional distributions of two (arbitrary) martingale-difference sequences are the same. Our analysis is based on the results that demonstrate that randomization over zero values of three-valued random variables in a conditionally symmetric martingal...
