    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses issues of strategic behavior of firms in oligopoly markets.

  • Essays on the use of distance functions in empirical studies : efficiency measurement and beyond

    Creator:
    Vardanyan, Mikayel
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores the intricacies associated with the use of distance functions in empirical studies. It focuses on the measurement of advertising efficiency and investigates the properties of the models that seek to approximate the abatement costs of socially undesirable outputs.

  • Essays on strategic behavior in supermodular settings : lobbying, advertising and price

    Creator:
    Kudo, Yasushi
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses issues of strategic behavior of firms in lobbying, brand and generic advertising, and advertising-price relationships in imperfectly competitive markets. In the first study, we investigate conditions under which lobbying can improve social welfare and show that this type of lobbying will be undersupplied from society’s perspective. We...

  • Cigarette advertising, price and social welfare : empirical evidence

    Creator:
    Farr, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    This study estimates the welfare effects of cigarette advertising using the framework posited by Becker and Murphy (1993). This model exposes previously unaccounted benefits of cigarette advertising and allows for conventional social welfare estimation by assimilating the theory of advertising into the general theory of complements. The policy implications of...

  • An economic model of search and matching in international trade

    Creator:
    Zhang, Xin
    Abstract:
    Small manufacturing firms often serve a domestic market but would like to expand their sales overseas. It is difficult for a small firm to develop overseas contracts and relationships, however, in part because of their small size, and because the advantages of their products may not always be obvious. The...

  • Demand and profitability for albacore products : a multi-attribute analysis

    Creator:
    Garcia-Martinez, Salvador
    Abstract:
    The main purpose of this research is to provide the commercial seafood industry of the Pacific Northwest information on preferences of restaurateurs, retailers, and wholesalers for whole albacore, low-value added albacore products (chunks, medallions, and steaks), albacore loins, and high-value added albacore products (hot smoked and lox). All of these...

  • Using country-level forest coverage to analyze the existence of an Environmental Kuznets Curve

    Creator:
    Gulpen, Sam Franciscus Johannes
    Abstract:
    This thesis seeks to analyze the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality, in this case measured by forest cover, and analyzes whether this relationship is consistent with an Environmental Kuznets Curve. Additionally the relationship between population density and forest cover was analyzed. A simple theoretical model is derived that...

  • Evaluation of physical and thermal methods to support nonlinear cost optimization models of surimi seafood

    Creator:
    Hsü, Cheng-kuang
    Abstract:
    Optimization programming techniques were applied to develop the least cost formulations for Pacific whiting surimi-based seafood (PWSBS). To develop the quality constraint functions, texture and color of whiting surimi gels were determined by torsion test and colorimeter, respectively. Whiting surimi gels were produced by heating at 90°C for 15 min....

    Abstract:
    A regime-switching model for market integration study is extended to incorporate dynamic trade flow information and risk perceptions based on an expected utility framework. An application of the extended model to the US-China soybean markets analysis shows that: One, the positive arbitrage rent uncounted-for in the extended model has been...

  • Common property fisheries resources : a game theoretic and empirical analysis

    Creator:
    Naito, Toyokazu
    Abstract:
    This dissertation contains theoretical and empirical analyses on common property fisheries resources. The theoretical analysis focuses on a highly migratory fish stocks (HMFS) fishery, and examines the inefficiency caused by non-cooperative harvest. The empirical analysis focuses on a high seas fishery and conducts an empirical test on the effects of...
