Digital platforms offer consumers vertically integrated products alongside third-party alternatives. Using a field experiment that hides Amazon brands, we quantify the impacts of vertical integration—through both the availability of private labels and their placement in search results. In their...

We study drainage of First Nations' oil in Western Canada. Many oil pools underlie land straddling the borders of First Nations reserves, creating a common pool problem. Ownership is determined based on the location of the well that brings the oil to the surface, regardless of where the oil...

1/3 of venture capital (VC) investment in Europe comes from the government. We study government-backed VC investment intermediated via private VC funds that focus on different stages of the firm life cycle. We link data on the portfolio of VC investments of the largest European government agency...

For multidimensional Euclidean type spaces, we study convex choice: from any choice set, the set of types that make the same choice is convex. We establish that, in a suitable sense, this property characterizes the sufficiency of local incentive constraints. Convex choice is also of interest more...

We study experimentally the challenges of network coordination in groups that share goals but are subject to local and noisy information. We show that consensus on the correct action declines in larger networks, networks with fewer local connections, and asymmetric networks, where misinformation...

We study the role of the type of incentives and interactions children are exposed to in the learning environment, in the formation of competitive preferences and gender differences therein. Specifically, we design and evaluate the effects of two educational interventions based on teaching...

We consider an M/M/s queueing model where customers can strategically decide to enter or leave the queue. We characterize the class of queueing regimes such that, for any parameters of the model, the socially efficient behavior is an equilibrium outcome. (Joint with Marco Scarsini,)
