The Extent of Rent Sharing along the Wage Distribution

The relation between rent sharing and wages has generally been evaluated on average wages. This article uses a unique employer–employee panel database to investigate the extent of rent sharing along the wage distribution in Italy. We apply quantile regression techniques and control for national level bargaining, unobserved worker and firm heterogeneity and endogeneity. Our findings show that the extent of rent sharing decreases along the wage distribution, suggesting that unskilled workers benefit most from firms’ rents. By applying quantile regressions by occupational categories, we show that the decreasing pattern is mainly driven by blue collar workers, while estimates for white collars are higher and basically constant along the wage distribution. We also provide evidence that unions might represent one of the drivers of our findings.

The NCAA Cartel and Competitive Balance in College Football

The NCAA regulates college football player recruiting, eligibility, and compensation. The economic theory of cartels suggests that one consequence may be reduced competitive balance. The enforced restrictions inhibit weak teams from improving, and protect strong teams from competition. A stratification is implied which should be evident over time as less churning in national rankings and conference standings, and fewer schools achieving national prominence. I test this general hypothesis by comparing various competitive balance measures for about 25 years before and after NCAA enforcement began in 1952. The hypothesis is supported by all measures at both the national and conference levels.

Office Rent in the Chicago CBD

This study focuses on the Chicago CBD office market, an important market at the local, regional, national and international levels. The purpose of this study is to develop a hedonic regression model that explains the variation in office rent per square foot. Five functional forms (linear, reciprocal, logarithmic, semi-log and log-linear) of the model are considered. A generally log-linear model is determined to be the best model based on a series of Box-Cox/Box-Tidwell type transformations and likelihood ratio tests. The regression results reveal that the model has very high explanatory power. The methodology of this study differs substantially from that of previous studies on this topic. Perhaps most importantly, the unit of analysis is the office unit rather than the building. This choice suggested the use of specific lease terms for actual transactions and location of the unit within the building as new variables. Finally, the modeling of location of the building within the CBD was found to be a critical step.

Influence of Rent Differentials on the Choice between Office Rent Contracts with and without Relocation Provisions

In this paper we concern ourselves empirically with the influence of rent differentials on the choice between rent contracts with and without relocation provisions investigating the effects of relocation provisions on office rents. The study departs from the extant literature by using a switching simultaneous-equations model to estimate hedonic rent functions for alternative office lease contracts with choices of relocation provisions. The empirical results suggest that price considerations and certain lease terms are important determinants of the choice of office relocation rights. The results also suggest that certain tenant characteristics, like tenant size and creditworthiness, have only a marginal effect on the choice of relocation rights.     

新农村配电网建设五要点

切实把握新农村配电网建设的目标前提。建设“生产发展、生活宽裕、乡风文明、村容整洁、管理民主”的社会主义新农村,需要坚强的农村配电网支持。一是确立双电源连接的“手拉手”供电新格局,规范农村住宅的低压进户线路配置、回路设计,规范线路、电路控制、灯具、插座、保护接地的设计。从实用、节能和便于管理入手,努力提高供电可靠率和电压合格率。二是进一步完善高、低压配电网和低压进户线结构一体的计设组织体系,统一设计,规范布局,以科学、适用、节能的现代农村电网惠及新农村。三是以服务农村生产生活为着眼点,认真实施“户户通电”…     

Office Rent Determinants in the Chicago Area

This paper analyzes 1990 office asking rents in the Chicago metropolitan area. It carefully specifies a measure of the present value of a lease, taking account of important properties of rent offers. This present value is the dependent variable in the statistical analysis. The sample data analyzed pertain to 543 offices that contain about 80% of the office space in the metropolitan area. The present value of asking rents is related to many building characteristics and to each building's location. The analysis demonstrates that asking rents depend on about fifteen characteristics of the building and on a careful specification of its location.

Measuring the Efficiency Cost of Rent Control

This paper estimates the burden of lost producer surplus imposed on landlords by rent control. The approach employed measures the reduction in Marshallian quasi-rent from the side of the derived demand for factors rather than the short-run supply of housing.
A constant elasticity of substitution production function is employed to derive the input demand equation. The equation is estimated using post-war rent control data from five major New York State cities. It turns out that rent control reduced quasi-rent about 15%. The deadweight loss is estimated at 1.5% of gross rental payments or about 5% of net income before debt charges.

五大发电集团：竞跑2010

2005年12月29日,与“中国电力装机突破5亿千瓦”庆典活动同一天,五大发电集团除华能集团外,其他四大集团都不事张扬地庆祝了自己的三周岁生日。三年过得实在太快。对于五大集团来说,这是披荆斩棘的三年、波澜壮阔的三年,更是硕果累累的三年。三年前,一群老战友、老同事、老朋友,有着相似的背景、相似的经历、相似的思维方式,忽然成为5个即将开展相互竞争的对手。而这喜剧性的变化一旦揭开帷幕,跑马圈地、远交近攻、合纵连横便一幕幕上演。令人眼花缭乱之间,中国电力发展历程中最惊心动魄,也最辉煌的篇章已经刻入史册。     

网络参与者的租金来源与实现途径

网络合作虽然可以产生协同协应,但并非所有参与者都能够从中获取均等收益。本文从网络参与者的角度分析了其从网络合作中的获益,认为参与者的租金主要来源于共有租金和私有租金两个方面,具体细分为可占用的共有租金、内部准租金和溢入租金净值三种类型。这三类租金的实现与参与者所拥有的资源基础和资源属性密切相关,可占用的共有租金是网络参与者通过资源交换、联合、共享而创造的共有租金在不同参与者之间分配的结果;内部准租金和溢入租金净值是参与者的私有资源(或非共享资源)产生的独有的、不与其他参与者分享的私有租金,私有租金的实现也与网络合作密不可分。     

Rent Seeking in a Static Model of Zoning

This paper uses a traditional, static view of zoning to illustrate the costly, rent-seeking behavior that results from zoning. A simple graphical model is developed and used to illustrate the size of rent-seeking costs when various levels of development are permitted and when different schemes are used by zoning authorities to allocate development permits. The model shows that allocation schemes designed to minimize rent-seeking fail to allocate permits to the highest-valued users. Zoning models that ignore the costs of rent-seeking and misallocation are found to seriously overstate the potential gains from zoning.
