@article{2709, abstract = {{This paper studies welfare consequences of consumer-side market transparency with endogenous entry of firms. Different from most studies, we consider the unique symmetric entry equilibrium, which is in mixed strategies. We identify two effects of market transparency on welfare: a competition effect and a novel market-structure effect. We show, surprisingly, that for almost all demand functions the negative market-structure effect eventually dominates the positive competition effect as the market becomes increasingly transparent. Consumer-side market transparency can therefore be socially excessive even without collusion. The only exception among commonly used demand functions is the set of constant demand functions. }}, author = {{Gu, Yiquan and Hehenkamp, Burkhard}}, issn = {{0932-4569}}, journal = {{Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics JITE}}, number = {{2}}, pages = {{225--248}}, publisher = {{Mohr Siebeck}}, title = {{{Too Much of a Good Thing?

This paper analyses this question using a game-theoretic model. Facing an intelligent attacker has an effect if players move first and visibly set their defence strategies, thereby exposing any players who do not defend, and if the attacker is, moreover, not able to commit to a random attack. Depending on the parameters of the game, the presence of an intelligent attacker either increases the probability that players jointly defend (where such joint defence either does or does not constitute a utilitarian optimum), or decreases the probability that players jointly defend (even though joint defence is a utilitarian optimum).}}, author = {{De Jaegher, Kris and Hoyer, Britta}}, issn = {{1024-2694}}, journal = {{Defence and Peace Economics}}, number = {{5}}, pages = {{644--664}}, publisher = {{Informa UK Limited}}, title = {{{Collective action and the common enemy effect}}}, doi = {{10.1080/10242694.2014.925676}}, volume = {{27}}, year = {{2014}}, } @article{5241, author = {{Schmitz, Hendrik and Augurzky, B. and Roppel, U.}}, journal = {{RWI Position}}, title = {{{Kehrtwende in der Gesundheitspolitik - Unnötige Abkehr von einer erfolgreichen Reform zur Finanzierung der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung}}}, volume = {{59}}, year = {{2014}}, } @article{2959, author = {{Mayrhofer, Thomas and Schmitz, Hendrik}}, journal = {{Journal of Population Economics}}, number = {{3}}, pages = {{841--856}}, title = {{{Testing the relationship between income inequality and life expectancy: A simple correction for the aggregation effect when using aggregated data}}}, doi = {{10.1007/s00148-013-0483-7}}, volume = {{27}}, year = {{2014}}, } @article{2960, author = {{Keese, Matthias and Schmitz, Hendrik}}, journal = {{Review of Income and Wealth}}, number = {{3}}, pages = {{525--541}}, title = {{{Broke, ill, and obese: is there an effect of household debt on health?}}}, doi = {{10.1111/roiw.12002}}, volume = {{60}}, year = {{2014}}, } @article{2958, author = {{Kopetsch, Thomas and Schmitz, Hendrik}}, journal = {{Health Economics}}, number = {{12}}, pages = {{1481--1492}}, title = {{{Regional variation in the utilisation of ambulatory services in Germany}}}, doi = {{10.1002/hec.3001}}, volume = {{23}}, year = {{2014}}, } @article{31817, author = {{Lück, Sonja}}, issn = {{03427064}}, journal = {{Die Betriebswirtschaft}}, number = {{5}}, pages = {{269--282}}, title = {{{Forschung und Lehre: Freund oder Feind?}}}, volume = {{74}}, year = {{2014}}, } @article{2729, author = {{Dimant, Eugen and Krieger, Tim and Redlin, Margarete}}, issn = {{1465-6485}}, journal = {{German Economic Review}}, number = {{4}}, pages = {{464--489}}, publisher = {{Wiley-Blackwell}}, title = {{{A Crook is a Crook … But is He Still a Crook Abroad?
