    		 ``Ineffective'' Competition: Closer Firms---Higher Prices (a simple example) (with Florian Mueller), 2006
    Abstract: Conventionally, we think of an increase in competition as weakly decreasing prices, increasing the number of consumers served, thus increasing consumer surplus, decreasing firms profits, etc. Here, we demonstrate that, under some tame circumstances, an increase in competition may lead to a price increase in a horizontally differentiated market. We show this relationship for the petrol market in German cities.

    		Completely Regular Functions: a Comment on Monotone Comparative Statics, 2004
    Abstract: Milgrom and Shannon [1994] have shown the equivalence of the (strict) single crossing property and the (strict) Spence-Mirrlees condition for a class of completely regular C2 functions. Edlin and Shannon [1998] have proven that the equivalence holds only in the weak cases, while with strict conditions only a one-sided implied relationship holds. This article shows the importance of complete regularity assumption.
