We seek to forecast sector stock returns using established predictor variables. Existing empirical evidence focuses on market level data and thus sector data provides fertile ground for research.

The results for ten sectors and eleven predictor variables highlight that two variables, the default return and stock return...

This paper implements a laboratory experiment to study spatial coordination in a conservation auction. In addition to letting individual producers bid competitively against each other to supply environmental goods, we ask whether opportunities for joint bidding can enhance spatial coordination in the auction cost-effectively. Auction performance depends on the nature...
