Item type:Publication, Quality Strategies in Frictional Search Models(Wiley, 2025-05-05)We explore quality-based strategies in frictional online markets using a targeted search model with vertical differentiation and heterogeneous agents. Firms self-select into high- or low-quality segments and compete in prices. We demonstrate that reduced search costs amplify the prominence of quality, leading to an increase in the market share of high-quality designs. While low-quality firms dominate when cost differentials are large, declining search frictions amplify the prominence of the quality attribute. The raised importance of quality triggers dual effects: a higher price sensitivity, leading to further price reductions across all products, and a boost in demand for high-quality designs. Our findings offer insights into the recent dynamics of online markets, explaining the expansion of high-quality segments and providing a strategic framework for firms to navigate evolving consumer preferences in increasingly transparent markets. ©The author ©Journal of Economics & Management Strategy ©Wiley. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, The Role of Development and Commercial Banking in Promoting Economic Growth in Mexico: A Sectoral Analysis(2024) ;Gil Jordan, Jesús Antonio; <jats:p>This study examines the impact of credit extended by both commercial and development banks on exports, GDP, and FDI across different sectors in Mexico. The research lies within the broader context of financial sector development and its role in promoting regional development and economic growth. We use panel data techniques to compare traditional models that include only commercial bank credit with models incorporating development bank credit. Our results emphasize the different and complementary roles of commercial and development banks. The latter is crucial in addressing market failures and supporting long-term, socially and economically beneficial projects. The study concludes that development bank credit should be integrated into economic studies to better understand its contribution to sustainable growth. It suggests that policymakers should coordinate the roles of both banking sectors to foster a balanced and resilient economy.</jats:p>11 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Effects of Flexible Workspace on Organizational Structure and Inequality: An Equilibrium Analysis(Springer, 2023); García-Cano , GabrielaThe need to implement home-office after the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the flow of knowledge transmitted within an organization. As companies restructure their hierarchies to ensure the best use of the time of their managers, impactful changes in the job markets will follow. Using a general equilibrium approach, we predict that an increase in internal communication costs generates a fall in the economy’s wealth, a decline in the dispersion of wages and also of managers’ compensations, but an increase in overall inequality. Moreover, we predict that the new configuration of the economy will feature more firms, but of smaller size. ©Springer ©The authors.10 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Existence and uniqueness of price equilibria in location-based models of differentiation with full coverage(2022) ;Hernández Cortés, JankoAbstract In location-based models of price competition, traditional sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of an equilibrium (Caplin and Nalebuff in Econometrica 59(1):25–59) are not robust for the firm that serves the right-tail of the consumers’ distribution. Interestingly, as we relax these conditions, we observe only two new alternative cases. Moreover, we identify a novel, easily testable condition for uniqueness that is weaker than log-concavity and that can also apply to Mechanism Design. Thanks to this general framework, we can solve the equilibrium of general vertical differentiation models numerically and show that inequality has a U-shaped effect on profits and prices of a high-quality firm. Moreover, we prove that extreme levels of concentration can dissolve natural monopolies and restore competition, contrary to the Uniform case.Scopus© Citations 2 25 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Extreme Value Theory and Auction Models(2021)The objective of this article is to develop a parametric approach to estimating auctions with incomplete data using Extreme Value Theory (EVT). The methodology is mainly theoretical: we first review that, when only transaction prices can be observed, the distribution of private valuations is irregularly identified. The sample bias produced by nonparametric estimators will affect all functionals of practical interest. We provide simulations for a best-case scenario and a worst-case scenario. Our results show that, compared to nonparametric approaches, the approximation of such functionals developed using EVT produces more accurate results, is easy to compute, and does not require strong assumptions about the unobserved distribution of bidders' valuations. It is recommended that financial operators working with auctions use this parametric approach when facing incomplete datasets. Given the difficult nature of the analysis, this work does not provide large sample properties for the proposed estimators and recommends the use of bootstrapping. This article contributes originally to the literature of structural estimation of auction models providing a useful and robust parametric approximation.51 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Finally Back to Campus? Motivations for Facemask Adoption in the Higher Education Sector(2022); ; The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented crisis in the higher education sector through campuses closing worldwide. To contain the disease, authorities required their citizens to wear facemasks in public spaces. As universities return to in-person instruction, they will probably require all students to wear facemasks while on-campus. This study examined antecedents of voluntary adoption of facemasks through a survey of students enrolled in Mexico City universities in the Fall of 2020. It was hypothesized that Social Value Orientation (SVO) and Trust would be positively related to facemask adoption. Findings revealed that among students, wearing a facemask reflects distinct conducts depending on the social context. Regression results show that SVO and Trust significantly predict facemask use but only in some contexts, giving partial support to hypotheses. A key implication is that public health communications should avoid general messages recommending facemasks, and craft more nuanced appeals targeting specific social contexts. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.57 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
