| Título: | Information and competition in U.S. forest service timber auctions |

| Resumen: | This paper analyzes the role of private information in U.S. Forest Service timber auctions. In these auctions, firms bid a per unit price for each timber species. Total bids are computed by multiplying these prices by Forest Service volume estimates, but payments depend on actual volumes harvested. We develop an equilibrium theory for these auctions. We then relate (ex post) data about volume to (ex ante) bids. We show that bidders have private information about volumes of species and use it as predicted by theory. Differences in bidder estimates appear to affect the allocation of tracts, but competition limits information rentsr |

| Título: | Mentoring and Diversity |

| Resumen: | We study how diversity evolves at a firm with entry-level and upper-level employees who vary in ability and "type" (gender or ethnicity). The ability of entry-level employees is increased by mentoring. An employ receives more mentoring when more upper-level employees have the same type. Optimal promotions are biased by type, and this bias may favor either the minority or the majority. We characterize possible steady states, including a "glass ceiling," where the upper level remains less diverse than the entry level. A firm may have multiple steady states, whereby temporary affirmative-action policies have a long-run impact. |

| Título: | Product and Process Flexibility in an Innovative Environment |
| Fuente: | RAND Journal of Economics. v.26, n.4. RAND |
| Páginas: | pp. 557-74 |
| Año: | winter 1995 |
| Resumen: | This article studies several attributes of a firm’s long-run decisions about organizational structure, attributes that affect the firm’s short-run innovative activity. The authors focus on flexibility, which lowers the future costs of implementing innovations, and research capabilities, which improve the future opportunities for innovation. They consider two dimensions of innovation: demand-enhancing (product) and cost-reducing (process). These two types of innovation are complementary in terms of increasing the firm’s net revenue in the short run. The complementarities between the firm’s short-run decision variables then lead to complementarities between its long-run decisions about product and process flexibility and research capabilities. |
