A growing number of empirical studies analyze peer effects via pairwise regressions, assessing whether the similarity of individual outcomes within a pair is higher when the two agents are connected. We provide the first analysis of identification and inference in these pairwise regressions. We...

We propose a new model in which relationship-specific effects or shocks are identified in a bipartite network under mild covariance restrictions, generalising the influential Abowd et al. (1999) framework. For example, separate demand shocks are identified for each bank from which a firm borrows....

For long-lived social species, including humans and nonhuman primates, parental and social environments, as well as ecological influences, can have powerful effects on well-being and survival. The patterns and processes underlying these effects are of central interest in biomedicine, public health...

We show that first-price auctions can maximize a wide variety of objectives, includ- ing revenue, welfare, bidder surplus, and equality, while second-price (or ascending) auctions do not maximize revenue except in Myerson’s regular case. This stark contrast between canonical auction pricing rules...

This paper empirically evaluates the impact of algorithmic pricing on the U.S. multifamily rental market. We hand-collect data on management company adoption decisions of algorithmic pricing and combine it with a comprehensive database of building-level rents and occupancy from 2005 to 2019. We...

Between 1954 and 1998, the tobacco industry funded more than 1,900 research projects at a total cost of $355 million, on topics such as the roles of heredity and nutrition in cancer. Even though legitimate, this research was intended to divert attention from the harmful effects of tobacco. We...

During World War I, annual government spending in France reached unprecedented levels, accounting for 50 percent of prewar GDP. A significant portion of this spending was allocated to support war industries at a time when the country's industrial cradle in the northeast was unavailable for...

The global overlap between poverty and climate damages raises the question of whether poverty amplifies vulnerability to weather shocks. Combining high-resolution satellite measures of droughts and floods with household panel data from Bangladesh, we study settings where some households are lifted...

The present research develops a formal mathematical model to measure individual motivation at work. Its mathematical specifications correspond to a formal translation of Conservation of Resources (COR) theory core assumptions. It explores how such COR constructs as resource caravan and resource...

We study linear regression models with clustered data, high-dimensional controls, and a complicated structure of exclusion restrictions. We propose a correctly centered internal IV estimator that accommodates a variety of exclusion restrictions and permits within-cluster dependence. The estimator...
