    • Adverse selection and risk aversion in capital markets 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino; Costa, Carlos E. da; Dahlby, Bev
      2011-12
      We generalize Boadway and Keen's model of adverse selection in capital markets to allow for risk aversion on the part of entrepreneurs. We use the new model to analyze two types of policies. We first consider policies that ...
    • Ergodic Markov equilibrium with incomplete markets and short sales 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino
      2013
      This paper studies recursive exchange economies with short sales. Agents maximize discounted expected utility. The asset structure is general and includes real securities, infinite-lived stocks, options, and other derivatives. ...
    • Gender bias in intrahousehold allocation: evidence from an unintentional experiment 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino; Olinto, Pedro; Perrone, Helena
      2012-05
      We use data from a Brazilian social program to investigate the existence of gender bias in intrahousehold allocations of resources. The program makes cash transfers to mothers and pregnant women in poor households. ...
    • General equilibrium with endogenous securities and moral hazard 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino
      2005-07
      This paper studies a class of general equilibrium economies in which the individuals' endowments depend on privately observed effort choices and the financial markets are endogenous. The environment is modeled as a two-stage ...
    • Monopoly rents in contestable markets 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino; Shalders, Felipe Leon Peres Camargo
      2015-05
      Random choices of prices and product characteristics can be used by a contestable monopolist to deter entry and fully extract the monopoly rent. We develop this idea in a model of Bertrand price competition. In equilibrium, ...
    • Multiproduct price competition with heterogeneous consumers and nonconvex costs 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino
      2009-09-20
      This paper extends the oligopolistic model of price competition to environments with multiple goods, heterogeneous consumers, and arbitrary continuous cost functions. A Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies with an endogenous ...
    • Options can induce risk taking for arbitrary preferences 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino; Ferreira, Daniel
      2006-04
      It is widely believed that call options induce risk-taking behavior. However, Ross (2004) challenges this intuition by demonstrating the impossibility of inducing managers with arbitrary preferences to always act as if ...
    • Output contingent securities and efficient investment by firms 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino; Martins-da-Rocha, Victor Filipe
      2018
      We analyze competitive economies with risky investments. Unlike the classic Arrow-Debreu framing, firms and agents cannot contract upon the exogenous states underlying production risks. They can trade equities and any ...
    • Trading constraints penalizing default: a recursive approach 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino
      2008-01-20
      This paper proves existence of an ergodic Markov equilibrium for a class of general equilibrium economies with infinite horizon, incomplete markets, and default. Agents may choose to deny their liabilities and face trading ...
