We show that the prevalence of prolonged contests in professional tennis drops sharply when the ambient environment deteriorates through heat or pollution. We develop a dynamic model of multi-battle competition to investigate how the disutility from a protracted competition...

Western societies are marked by diverse and extensive biases and inequality that are unavoidably embedded in the data used to train machine learning. Algorithms trained on biased data will, without intervention, produce biased outcomes and increase the inequality experienced by historically...

This paper develops theoretical criteria and econometric methods to rank policy interventions in terms of welfare when individuals are loss-averse. Our new criterion for “loss aversion-sensitive dominance” defines a weak partial ordering of the distributions of policy-induced gains and losses. It...

We provide robust empirical evidence that uncovers the reason for the observed closer relationship between the bond market versus the equity market and the macroeoconomy. Our results indicate that the tight bond marketmacroeconomy link is not due to differences in the investor base, but instead to...

In many economic settings it is optimal to endow individuals with high abilities, rather than those with low abilities, with decision-making power. Yet there is rich empirical evidence showing that many of those in charge of decisions are not necessarily the most talented. We offer a novel...

We present a mechanism based on managerial incentives through which common ownership affects product market outcomes. Firm-level variation in common ownership causes variation in managerial incentives and productivity across firms, which leads to intra-industry and intra-firm cross-market variation...

Recycling, reuse, and preservation of exhaustible resources has become a major goal in developed economies, which entails the active participation of producers. The implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility, whereby firms are financially responsible for their products end-of-life costs, is...

Motivated by several examples, including Internet of Things (IoT) patent licensing, we consider a model in which m ≥ 1 complementary platforms choose prices for n > 1 connected devices which generate demand externalities among themselves. We characterize equilibrium prices and show that...
