This paper investigates whether government credit guarantee schemes, used extensively after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic to support bank lending by shifting default risk to governments, led to substitution of non-guaranteed with guaranteed credit, without leading to an increased supply of...

Estimating matrix of connection probabilities is one of the key issues when studying sparse networks with missing observations. This problem has applications in various fields such as biology, sociology, but also recommender systems. However, many real networks are polluted by outliers coming from...

The aggregate spending multiplier crucially depends on the sectoral origin of government purchases. To establish this result, we characterize analytically the response of aggregate output to sector-specific government spending shocks in a tractable production-network economy. The response is larger...

This paper presents a model of compensating differentials in which firms' costs of providing amenities may depend on unobserved worker productivity. Estimating the model requires measures of workers' willingness to pay for job amenities at the individual level. We measure workers' preferences using...

Digital platforms are not only match-making intermediaries but also establish internal rules that govern all users in their ecosystems. To better understand the governing role of platforms, we study two Airbnb pro-guest rules that pertain to guest and host cancellations, using data on Airbnb and...

We consider a standard expected utility setting, with an exogenous reference point that separates outcomes the decision maker regards as failures from successes. We introduce various attitudes towards success and failure, and characterize their implications for the shape of the Bernoulli utility...

We investigate the market effects of search advertising, within a model in which: there exist both sophisticated consumers (who look for any available information on their screen) and naïve consumers (who only look at the top link of their screen); and in which each firm chooses the price of its (...

Climate policy needs to set incentives for actors who face imperfect, distorted markets and large uncertainties about the costs and benefits of abatement. Investors price uncertain assets according to their expected return and risk (carbon beta). We study carbon pricing and financial incentives in...
