Theory
I think of all of these as simplistic but useful introductions to certain theories. The goal and philosophy is explained in this Introduction
- Transaction Cost Economics1
- Agency Theory and Conflicts of Interest
- Tournament Theory and Subjective Performance Evaluation
- Institutional Theory
The next two come from my honours course and are slightly more advanced because there are actual numbers and some derivations. The signaling model is on p3 and the cheap talk model is on p5.
The most advanced example that I have is on matching theory which is popular in labour economics and to explain CEO compensation in economics. It is also an example on how you can understand more advanced theoretical models through simulations.

- Poisson Regression for Causal Inference

This has very little to do with transaction costs for trades in financial markets.↩︎
