Some people say there is no more real #innovation in food (well, beer). They are wrong.

Alex Holcomb (App State U) and I just posted our latest paper: "When Goliath Shares with David: The Effects of Asymmetry on Collaboration." Question: When a large well-resourced firm teams up with a smaller one, does the size gap undermine the partnership? Answer: Not how you'd think #EconSky

Are you attending the Asia-Pacific Industrial Organisation Conference (APIOC) in Brisbane next week? Check out Julian Klix's presentation of our paper "Hybrid Contracting in Repeated Interactions" Conference details at apios.org.au #EconSky #ConfSky #EconConf @zew.de @macci-mannheim.bsky.social

Asia-Pacific Industrial Organisation Conference (APIOC) 2025

12-14 December 2025 at the University of Queensland, Brisbane

Program of Session 3E: Theory: Dynamic Games and Contracts

Session Block 3 on Saturday, December 13, at 10:30am

Abstract of paper "Hybrid Contracting in Repeated Interactions"

Many business relationships begin with informal interactions and later transition to formal contracts. Using a repeated-games model with a finite horizon, we show that this hybrid-contracting approach can both prolong cooperation (intensive margin) and enable it across a broader range of settings (extensive margin). We model the contract as a "smooth-landing contract" that limits actions only near the end of the relationship. We show that this flexible design supports early cooperation and outperforms rigid contracts. Our findings are robust to changes in contracting costs and timing, with optimal contract length balancing profitability and implementability.

More resources allow regulators to enforce both targets. With low compliance costs, firms comply with both targets. But for high compliance costs, the additional resources for regulators can backfire - now firms prioritize! 3/4

🚨NEW WORKING PAPER 🚨 Can more resources for regulators improve firms' compliance? @jgambato.bsky.social @juliakraemer.bsky.social & I demonstrate how expanding regulators' resources can backfire when the success of detecting firms' noncompliance varies for different regulatory targets. 1/4
