We analyze the sustainability of collusion in infinitely repeated symmetric first-price procurement auctions with complete information. We show that strategies combining on-path price randomization with dynamic market-share reallocations facilitate collusion at discount factors below the threshold...

I study a preference relation on risky long run public projects induced by a large maturity limit of expected present values. Under common assumptions this relation has a variational representation that is related to a well known model of ambiguity aversion; it is non-probabilistic in general....

I study how third-party firms respond when a platform owner enters its own marketplace, analyzing Apple's entries into App Store submarkets from 2016-2021. Using text embeddings to define markets and a staggered difference-indifferences design, I find that Apple's entry deters new competitors and...

This paper investigates some theoretical properties of the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. We focus our attention on the single component case, that provides a useful framework to understand the underlying mechanism. We provide a non-asymptotic upper bound on the quadratic loss in prediction...

While immigration of unskilled workers often generates controversy in the political arena, there is often more consensus in favor of selec tive immigration policies. This paper studies the effects of selective immigration policies on the labor market. High skilled immigration introduces two...

Households’ inflation expectations depend on their financial conditions, even after controlling demographic factors and expectations about the economic outlook. Specifically, savers report higher inflation expectations than borrowers. We establish these regularities using individual level data from...

Digital platforms offer consumers vertically integrated products alongside third-party alternatives. Using a field experiment that hides Amazon brands, we quantify the impacts of vertical integration—through both the availability of private labels and their placement in search results. In their...

We study drainage of First Nations' oil in Western Canada. Many oil pools underlie land straddling the borders of First Nations reserves, creating a common pool problem. Ownership is determined based on the location of the well that brings the oil to the surface, regardless of where the oil...
