Yazıcı, Mehmet
This paper applies Rubinstein bargaining model to tariff negotiations in order to predict the outcome of the bargaining. Following Dixit (1987) and Mayer (1981), we are able to express tariff strategies in the form of reaction functions. This results in a strategy space much larger than that considered in the literature and also in a smooth welfare frontier. Having applied Rubinstein Bargaining model, we have characterized the outcome of the tariff negotiations and given an example, which indicates that the negotiations will lead to free trade when countries are symmetric.

Uncertainty, macroprudential policies and corporate leverage: Firm-level evidence
Yarba, Ibrahim; Güner, Zehra Nuray (2020-06-01)
This paper investigates the impact of macroprudential policies and uncertainty of economic environment on corporate leverage dynamics over the last decade. This is the first study to investigate the impact of macroprudential policies and uncertainty on leverage dynamics of Turkish non-financial firms using firm-level data. We argue in this paper that persistence of uncertainty should be a more appropriate factor affecting credit dynamics rather than uncertainty. In that sense, we construct a measure of unce...

Senay, Ozge; Sutherland, Alan (2007-05-01)

Bargaining in legislatures over private and public goods with endogenous recognition
Genç, Hakan; Küçükşenel, Serkan; Department of Economics (2016)
In this thesis, we examine a sequential model of multilateral bargaining in which legislators make decisions over both private and public good dimensions under unanimity rule. We assume that recognition process is endogenous. Legislators expend effort to be the proposer. In symmetric case, since all legislators are identical, even if the legislators exert effort to be the proposer, model behaves like an exogenous model. However, cut-off values that indicate legislators’ political opinion differs from the pr...
