"Pricing Algorithms and Tacit Collusion" Abstract There is an increasing tendency for firms to use pricing algorithms that speedily react to market conditions, such as the ones used by major airlines and online retailers like Amazon.

"Merger Activity in Industry Equilibrium" ABSTRACT We study a dynamic industry-equilibrium model that features mergers, entry, and exit by heterogeneous firms. We show how different sources of synergies affect merger cyclicality. Improvements in marginal productivity between merging firms generate a procyclical motive for mergers, while reductions in fixed costs of production generate a countercyclical one.…

An inferential theory of clustering for functional data Recently, it has been shown that Morse theory can be exploited to de- velop a sound inferential background for clustering: one can rigorously define both population and empirical clusters by means of the gradient flows asso- ciated to the population density p and the estimated density pˆ.…
