Extreme temperatures reduce the productivity of incumbent firms (productivity effects) but also select for higher-productivity firms to survive (selection effects). Leveraging a unique dataset containing registration information for the universe of firms, we document a novel general equilibrium mechanism: resources released by the exit of low-productivity firms are reallocated to higher-productivity firms. As a result, the combined effects on aggregate productivity are muted, challenging the prevailing consensus that extreme temperatures universally worsen productivity and economic outcomes.

The effects are mostly muted at the firm level due to selection effects, whereby only larger firms are significantly and positively affected. Meanwhile, larger firms occupy a small share in number but a large share of aggregate outcomes, contributing to the discrepancy between the negligible effects of ETS at the individual firm and large effects at the aggregate sector levels. The effects also diffuse in input-output networks, leading to more patents in upstream/downstream sectors, through the channels of demand/supply changes and knowledge spillovers.

This paper investigates the optimality of sequential auctions, focusing on scenarios where the auctioneer can re-auction items and tap into potential future resale demand. Specifically, when bidders arrive in two batches, the auctioneer first conducts an English auction for the initial batch. If unsuccessful, the item is re-auctioned to both batches of bidders; otherwise, the winner can opt to resell to current and future bidders. I characterize the optimal sequential English auctions, noting that the auctioneer's belief about the value distribution of the first batch is necessarily limited after the initial auction fails. The findings demonstrate that, on the optimal reserve price path, the first batch always retains a positive winning probability in the re-auction. Furthermore, I identify conditions under which resale does not occur in equilibrium due to a high optimal reserve price in the initial auction. Thus, when the auctioneer can set optimal reserve prices and access resale demand, resale can be implicitly prohibited. These results provide important policy implications for auctions in both the private and public sectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48127,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Industrial Organization","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 103158"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143684041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
