New Islands of Tractability of Cost-Optimal Planning (2009)
We study the complexity of cost-optimal classical planning over propositional state variables and unary-effect actions. We discover novel problem fragments for which such optimization is tractable,...
Structural Patterns Heuristics via Fork Decomposition (2009)
We consider a generalization of the PDB homomorphism abstractions to what is called “structural patterns”. The basic idea is in abstracting the problem in hand into provably tractable fragments...

Theory-driven choice models KANNAN SRINIVASAN GSTA, Carnegie-Mellon University (2008)
Wilfred Amaldoss, Patrick Bajari, Wes Hutchinson, Michael Katz, Michael Keane, Robert Meyer, ...
We explore issues in theory-driven choice modeling by focusing on partial-equilibrium models of dynamic structural demand with forward-looking decision-makers, full equilibrium models that integrate...
Structural Patterns Heuristics: Basic Idea and Concrete Instance (2008)
Considering admissible heuristics for cost-optimal planning, we present a generalization of patterndatabase homomorphism abstractions, called “structural patterns”. The basic idea of structural...

Abstract Background We have engaged in an international program designated the Bank On A Cure , which has established DNA banks from multiple cooperative and institutional clinical trials, and a...
Optimal additive composition of abstraction-based admissible heuristics (2008)
We describe a procedure that takes a classical planning task, a forward-search state, and a set of abstraction-based admissible heuristics, and derives an optimal additive composition of these...
Bundling and Vertical Relationships in Multichannel Television ∗ (Job Market Paper) (2008)
Ali Yurukoglu, Luis Cabral, John Asker, Gregory S. Crawford, Ignacio Esponda, Matt Grennan, ...
I examine how banning the bundling of television channels would affect social welfare. The central innovation in this paper is accounting for the renegotiation of supply contracts between content...

How Strong Are Weak Patents (2005)
Joseph Farrell, Carl Shapiro, Michael Katz, Mark Lemley, Josh Lerner, Robert Merges, ...
ABSTRACT. We analyze patent licensing by a patent holder to downstream technology users. We study how the structure and level of royalties depends on the patent’s strength, i.e., the probability it...
Market Structure, Organizational Structure, and R&D Diversity (2002)
Farrell, Joseph, Gilbert, Richard, Katz, Michael
We examine the effects of market structure and the internal organization of firms on equilibrium R&D projects. We compare a monopolist's choice of R&D portfolio to that of a welfare maximizer. We...

Competition or Predation? Schumpeterian Rivalry in Network Markets (2001)
Farrell, Joseph, Katz, Michael
We explore the logic of predation and rules designed to prevent it in markets subject to network effects. Although, as many have informally argued, predatory behavior is plausibly more likely to...
