The tools provided by option pricing theory of tender offer analysis provides evidence consistent with the "synergy" theory of corporate takeovers and has implications conce rning the economic effects of regulations of cash tender offers. The analysis further suggests that the market prices information uncertai nty in a manner not captured by the standard Capital Asset Pricing Mo del. The study introduces a technique for unbundling the prices of a primary asset and a contingent claim when only the prices of the comb ination are observed.

How important is monopolistic competition to an understanding of the effects of aggregate demand on output? The authors ask this question at three levels. Can monopolistic competition, by itself, explain why aggregate demand affects output? Can it, together with other imperfections, generate effects of aggregate demand in a way that perfect competition cannot? If so, can it give an accurate account of the res ponse of the economy to aggregate demand movements? The answers are no, yes, and yes. Copyright 1987 by American Economic Association.

If firm performance affects managers' wealth or reputation, preferences of managers dominate firms' financing decisions. When information about real a sset investment is symmetric, managers finance exclusively with equit y. If managers know more about investment quality than do investors, and if managers are sufficiently risk averse, they signal high qualit y projects with debt. Increases in collateral value decrease debt use Increases in interest rates, that do not change productive opportun ities, increase debt use. The explanation for these and further resul ts is based on underpricing of equity and overpricing of debt at the margin.

This paper analyzes the way in which the earnings of the immigrant population may be expected to differ from the earnings of the native population because of the endogeneity of the migration decision. The conditions that determine the nature of the self-selection are derived and depend on economic and political characteristics of the sending and receiving countries. The empirical analysis shows that differences in the U.S. earnings of immigrants with the same measured skills, but from different home countries, are attributable to variations in conditions in the country of origin at the time of migration.

The problems associated with accurately measuring the value of a public good in an applied setting are considered. The values obtained from hypothetical elicitation procedures are compared and contrasted with those obtained in a marketplace. When hypothetical measurements are elicited in the field, buying-selling discrepancies similar to those predicted by psychological models of behavior are observed. However, when the market-like elicitation process is repeated, values are more consistent with diminishing marginal utility. The authors cannot reject the hypothesis that these individuals exhibit loss- aversion behavior. The marketplace, however, is a strong disciplinarian of limiting this type of behavior.
