The Federal Reserve's “balance-sheet normalization,” which reduced aggregate reserves between 2017 and September 2019, increased repo rate distortions, the severity of rate spikes, and intraday payment timing stresses, culminating with a significant disruption in Treasury repo markets in mid-...

The sustainable intensification of agriculture requires solutions for a large-scale reduction of pesticide use while sustaining agricultural yields. New pesticide-free production standards, which align the strengths of several food value chain actors, could be a cornerstone of this transformation....

This talk will be on the topic of sequential learning, and on some specific instances of the stochastic bandit problem. In the first part of the talk, I will give an introduction to the stochastic bandit problem, and present some core ideas and algorithms. In the second part of the talk, I will...

The empirical literature on the stability of the Phillips curve has largely ignored the bias that endogenous monetary policy imparts on estimated Phillips curve coefficients. We argue that this omission has important implications. When policy is endogenous, estimation using aggregate data can be...

Many online platforms rely on user-generated content and need to incentivize free effort. With data from Stack Exchange, I investigate whether users provide more and better quality contributions when endowed with more autonomy and authority over actions. Using a dynamic discrete choice model, I...

We develop a theory of exchange rate fluctuations arising from financial institutions’ demand for liquid dollar assets. Financial flows are unpredictable andmay leave banks “scrambling for dollars.” As a result of settlement frictions in interbank markets, a precautionary demand for dollar reserves...

We study the contribution of health shocks to earnings inequality and uncertainty in labor market outcomes. We calibrate a life-cycle model of labor supply and savings that incorporates health and health shocks. Our model features endogenous wage formation via human capital accumulation, employer...

This paper analyzes panic purchases of goods after demand changes due to an unexpected event such as a pandemic. Our two-period model incorporates capacity constraints by sellers and search/shopping costs by consumers. Even if sellers have enough capacity to satisfy total demand, there may be...

Using detailed administrative employer-employee matched data and a novel measure that quantifies the environmental sustainability of different economic activities of Swedish private sector firms, we provide evidence that workers earn about 10% lower wages in firms that operate in more sustainable...
