In many African countries, rural households typically sell their crops immediately after the harvest, and then face severe food shortages during the lean season. This paper explores whether alleviating both credit and storage constraints through an inventory credit (orwarrantage) program in Burkina...

Mechanism design teaches us that a mediator can strictly improve the chances of peace between two opponents even when the mediator has no independent resources, is less informed than the two parties, and has no enforcement power. We test the theory in a lab experiment where two subjects negotiate...

This talk aims to survey the triple-point interface between optimization, game theory, and dynamical systems. We will begin by discussing how the ordinary differential equation (ODE) method of stochastic approximation can be used to analyze the trajectories of a wide array of stochastic first-order...

The literature on dynamic discrete games often assumes that the conditional choice probabilities and the state transition probabilities are homogeneous across markets and over time. We refer to this as the \homogeneity assumption" in dynamic discrete games. This homogeneity assumption enables...

We develop a theory of monotone comparative statics based on weak set order, or in short weak monotone comparative statics, and identify the enabling conditions in the context of individual choices, Pareto optimal choices for a coalition of agents, and Nash equilibria of games. Compared with the...

We propose a model of data intermediation to analyze the incentives for sharing individual data in the presence of informational externalities. A data intermediary acquires signals from individual consumers regarding their preferences. The intermediary resells the information in a product market...

Managing public portfolios is a crucial policy issue that concerns economists, policymakers, and the general public. However, existing literature on debt management offers little practical guidance on the types of securities it should issue and the frequency with which a government should rebalance...

As illicit substances move into legal product space, substitution patterns with legal products become more salient. In particular, marijuana legalization may have implications for use of other "sin" goods, such as alcohol and cigarettes. We focus on a young person's choice to consume marijuana,...
