    • Institutional quality and capital taxation 

      Araujo, Luis Fernando Oliveira de; Arvate, Paulo Roberto
      2016-02
      We describe the preferred taxation regime in a small economy with uncertain institutional quality. We obtain that a preferential taxation regime in which taxes can be matched to the mobility of the tax base may be worse ...

      Araujo, Luis Fernando Oliveira de; Mion, Giordano; Ornelas, Emanuel
      2016

    • Intertemporal coordination with delay options 

      Araujo, Luis Fernando Oliveira de; Guimarães, Bernardo
      2015-05
      This paper studies equilibrium selection in intertemporal coordination problems with delay options. The risk-dominant action of the underlying one-shot game is selected when frictions are arbitrarily small. Larger frictions ...

      It is generally agreed that within long-term relationships agents learn the characteristics of their market partners better than through spot transactions. In contrast, little is known on how relationship-based and ...

      Araujo, Luis Fernando Oliveira de; Minetti, Raoul
      2011-08
      We compare allocations sustained by credit with allocations sustained by bank notes (inside money) in a search model with decentralized trade and limited monitoring. We demonstrate that there exists a credit arrangement ...
