Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies Division of Environment and Sustainability 206 Division of Environment and Sustainability Game-theoretic Analysis of Markets Supervisor: CHAN Keith / ENVR Student: GONG Theodore Pak Yin / ECOF Course: UROP 3100, Fall Urban wage premium is a widely studied topic in urban economics and labor economics. It affects people’s mobility decisions and potentially drives to a segregation equilibrium, where high-skill people stay in bigger cities and low-skill stay in smaller cities. This will exacerbate the urban wage premium problem and cause larger differences in city sizes. As a result, the attractiveness of big and small cities will be further driven to an extreme. I identify this as a chicken-and-egg problem. We provide a game-theoretic model where heterogeneous types of firms and workers from big cities search, match, and move on to another stage of migration decisions. We show that the better quality of matching in bigger cities leads to a segregation equilibrium if and only if the common discount factor is in a particular range. This shed lights on how the government can use information to supplement urban policies. Game-theoretic Analysis of Markets Supervisor: CHAN Keith / ENVR Student: KEUNG Cheuk Hei / SGFN Course: UROP 1000, Summer We considered the question on the relationship between CSR pressure firms face and the tendency of cutting their CSR efforts/dividends payoff when facing loss. We studied how external stakeholders affect companies Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) pressure. In order to analyse the influences of external stakeholders on CSR pressure, we have research on both endogenous variables and exogenous variable. We have researched on listed companies on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We researched on endogenous variables (i.e. ESG controversy news, attention on companies) and exogenous variable (i.e. US state environmental spending) which affect CSR pressure. As the research is still in progress, the regression model is not completed. This report will be a progress report of the research. Game-theoretic Analysis of Markets Supervisor: CHAN Keith / ENVR Student: NGUYEN Kim Hue Nam / COGBM Course: UROP 1100, Spring The purpose of this literature review is to provide an overall view of the contemporary research about gender inequality and marriage in India, China, and other parts of the world. A secondary purpose is to find more explanations from articles authors about these gender inequalities and marriages, with theoretical and empirical experiments, and to understand more about the current research direction of gender inequality and marriage in India, China, and other parts of the world.
