How does pay transparency affect bank opacity? We answer this question by studying the impact of the introduction of pay transparency laws across nine U.S. states with both advert-, individual- and bank-level data. We find that after the introduction: (1) more adverts include pay information; (2)...

Inflation gives rise to inefficient price dispersion in New Keynesian models. Yet empirical analyses suggest that such costs are small (see e.g., Nakamura et al. (2018)). We study price dispersion using a new model that enriches the canonical sticky-price model with an information-gathering...

This talk will cover Lionel Coussein’s role in Energy & Climate Scenarios, followed by an illustration of the usefulness and relevance of studying these scenarios for evaluating decarbonization options in aviation. As a TSE alumnus, he will also showcase the diversity of roles and activities...

The voluntary carbon market (VCM) is built on the premise that one offset credit compensates one tonne of emissions. While a growing body of evidence has raised concerns about the environmental integrity of many credits, much less is known about how access to voluntary offsets affects firms’...

Start-ups, though typically small, play a disproportionate role in driving innovation, employment growth, and productivity. A small subset of high-growth firms, often referred to as “rising superstars,” accounts for a large share of these gains and may also generate significant spillovers for local...

Concentration inequalities for the sample mean, like those due to Bernstein, Hoeffding, and Bentkus, are valid for any sample size but overly conservative, yielding confidence intervals that are unnecessarily wide. The central limit theorem (CLT) provides asymptotic confidence intervals with...

This paper considers filtering, parameter estimation, and testing for potentially dynamically misspecified state-space models. When dynamics are misspecified, filtered values of state variables often do not satisfy model restrictions, making them hard to interpret, and parameter estimates may fail...

This paper studies a dynamic multinomial logit model for panel data with fixed effects. The outcome depends on lagged dependent variables, strictly exogenous regressors, and individual-specific fixed effects, with type I extreme value errors. We construct the complete set of moment conditions that...
