We study the static and dynamic impacts of market integration on renewable energy expansion. Our theory highlights that statically, market integration improves allocative efficiency by gains from trade, and dynamically, it incentivizes new entry of renewable power plants. Using two recent grid...

We find that central bank reserves injected by QE crowd out bank lending. We estimate a structural model with cross-sectional instrumental variables for deposit and loan demand. Our results are determined by the elasticity of loan demand and the impact of reserve holdings on the cost of supplying...

Economic complexity methods have become popular tools in economic geography, international development, and innovation studies. Here, I review economic complexity theory and applications, with a particular focus on two streams of research: the literature on relatedness, which focuses on the...

The growing asymmetry in the size of fiscal imbalances poses a serious challenge to the macroeconomic stability of the Euro Area (EA). We show that following a contractionary shock, the current monetary and fiscal framework weakens economic growth even in low-debt countries because of the zero...

In this talk we first review the framework of robust estimation where robustness can be with respect to outliers or heavy-tailed noise. Then, we consider the sparse linear model where some of the observations can be corrupted and the noise heavy-tailed. After deriving the minimax quadratic risk...

The allocation of production rewards between capital and labor is a topic of long-standing interest to economists, with recent growing attention due to rising capital shares and inequality. We study, using pre-registered experiments with representative samples of the US and the Swiss populations,...

We propose novel results for the existence of a competitive equilibrium with gross substitutes, and apply them to a class of matching problems with general transfers and without allowing for unassigned agents. An algorithm is provided. Several applications are reviewed. (with Liang Chen, Eugene...

Is more competition the key to mitigating dominance by large tech platforms? Could regulation of such markets be a better alternative? We study the effects of competition and interoperabilty regulation in platform markets. To do so, we propose an approach of competition in net fees, which is well-...
