<description><![CDATA[A key property of the World Wide Web is the possibility for firms to place virtually costless links to third-party content as a substitute or complement to their own content. This ability to hyperlink has enabled new types of players, such as search engines and content aggregators, to successfully enter content ecosystems, attracting traffic and revenue by hosting links to the content of others. This, in turn, has sparked a heated controversy between content producers and aggregators regarding the legitimacy and social costs/benefits of uninhibited free linking. This work is the first to model the implications of interrelated and strategic hyper-linking and content investments. Our results provide a nuanced view of the, so called, "link economy," highlighting both the beneficial consequences and the drawbacks of free hyperlinks and content aggregators for content producers and consumers.]]></description>

<title>Evgeny Lyandres: Merger Synergies Along the Supply Chain.</title>

<description><![CDATA[This paper makes two contributions to the literature examining the effects of mergers on firms' product market rivals, customers, and suppliers. We provide the first analysis of the effect of horizontal merger synergies along the supply chain, by utilizing a novel, hand-collected dataset of insiders' projections of synergies. We find that synergies are an important determinant of the market reactions by rivals, customers, and suppliers of merging firms to horizontal merger announcements. Second, we revisit the empirical literature examining the market power (collusion) motive for horizontal mergers by demonstrating theoretically that omitting a measure of synergies, as in past studies, may lead to biased inferences regarding the effects of market power along the supply chain. Our tests of the market power hypothesis, which account for merger synergies, demonstrate that market power is generally an important determinant of announcement returns to rivals, customers, and suppliers of merging firms. This result stands in sharp contrast to past studies that generally report inconclusive evidence regarding the effects of market power along the supply chain.]]></description>

<title>Nalin Kulatilaka: Accelerating the Adoption of Clean Technologies through Energy Intermediaries</title>

<description><![CDATA[Despite technological innovations and significant government subsidies, we are yet to see the widespread adoption of clean energy technologies. This slow adoption has been attributed to current institutional features that introduce large transactions costs and unattractive risk profiles, which dissuade investments. In this paper we explore ways in which new types of energy intermediaries, which we call Green Energy Service Companies (GESCO), can reduce transactions costs, modify risk profiles, and provide financing for distributed clean energy investments. We first describe current GESCOs that absorb the various subsidies, act as system integrators and project contactors, bear the up-front investment, and offer long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) to end consumers. Our work on this section is based on interactions with several companies involved in various stages of the solar PV value chain: Schott Solar (Manufacturer), Sun Run and Solar City (service companies), Boston Community Capital and Bank of America (Financing). We find that the value proposition of current PPAs to consumers is based on forecasted price increases and does not provide adequate protection against key sources of uncertainty. In the rest of the paper we propose modifications to current PPAs that offer a more compelling risk profile to consumers while retaining the financial viability of the GESCO. We provide a valuation model to compare alternative contract structures. We then examine the effects of pooling across many consumers to transfer risk to wholesale markets. With the advent of the smart grid, GESCOs can enrich their offerings by bundling a wide array of distributed resources.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[During much of the 20th Century, the critical employment relationship was between large businesses and workers in major sectors of the economy. Increasingly, however, the foci of employment have shifted away from being between major businesses and the workforce that made or delivered their products. Large businesses with national and international reputations that operate at the "top" of their industries continue to dominate the private sector landscape and play critical roles in shaping competition in their markets. However, they no longer directly employ legions of workers. Instead, like rocks split by elements, employment has been fissured away from these market leaders and transferred to a complicated network of smaller business units. Lower-level businesses typically operate in far more competitive markets than those of the firms that shifted employment to them, often with negative consequences on employment conditions. This paper will explore the causes of fissuring and its consequences on workplace conditions. Based on this analysis, it explores a variety of policy responses to deal with fissuring.]]></description>
