Abstract

This dissertation consists of four chapters that contribute to applied microeconomics. My co-authors and I combine theoretical and experimental methods to study behavioral paradoxes and market inefficiencies. Chapters 1 and 2 contribute to the understanding of image concerns. They study the dynamic implications of how individuals perceive themselves and are perceived by others. Chapter 3 focuses on markets where sellers have the informational advantage and how mitigating consumers’ limited attention can partially correct the market inefficiencies arising due to asymmetric information. Chapter 4 shows that profit-shifting within partially vertically integrated entities can facilitate or hinder input and customer foreclosure depending on the restrictions the minority shareholder protection can offer.
