摘要：W e study theoretically and empirically the consumption of access services. We demonstrate that consumption is affected by contract structure (pay-per-use versus three-part tariffs) even if the optimal consumption plans are identical.

Ethnic proximity between VCs and the start-ups they invest in is positively related to performance, measured by the probability...
