We analyze jointly optimal emission taxes and financial regulation in the presence of environmental externalities and financial frictions. Our model highlights that climate-related transition and physical risks have opposite implications for how emission taxes interact with financial constraints....

Public goods games are frequently used to model strategic aspects of social dilemmas and to understand the evolution of cooperative behaviour among members of a group. While providing a baseline case, a (local) public goods model implies an equal sharing of returns. This appears an unsatisfying...

We study the optimal design of a queueing system when agents' arrival and servicing are governed by a general Markov process. The designer chooses entry and exit rules for agents, their service priority|or queueing discipline|as well as their information, while ensuring they have incentives to...

The impact of finite forecasting horizons on price dynamics is examined in a standard infinite-horizon asset-pricing model. Our theoretical results link forecasting horizon inversely to expectational feedback, and predict a positive relationship between expectational feedback and various measures...

This paper estimates the welfare effects of advertising regulation on TV. I develop a structural model of demand and supply, in which both the broadcasting content and the amount of advertising are endogenously determined. My results suggest that while the legislation imposes stricter advertising...

Species extinctions and ecological degradation are accelerating to a degree unprecedented in human history. We present causal evidence on the economic drivers of biodiversity loss using a novel panel dataset on the types and quantities of wildlife at thousands of locations across the U.S. from 1960...

We present an analysis of the tax treatment of couples. We first investigate how marriage bonuses and penalties evolved in the US federal income tax since the 1960s. We then develop sufficient statistics for an analysis of Pareto-improving, welfare-improving and political feasible reforms of tax...
