This study examines the effects of tariffs imposed by the U.S. on imported solar panels. We first provide clear evidence that tariff-exposed firms shifted production to locations that did not face tariffs, and that domestic prices increased relative to other markets. We then develop a structural...

Child fostering is widespread in much of the world, yet the evolutionary mechanisms shaping fostering decisions remain poorly understood. One possibility is that fostering can be strategically leveraged to improve mothers’ reproductive prospects after union dissolution by facilitating repartnering...

End-of-life care represents a major fiscal and social challenge facing aging economies across the globe. We study how expanding hospice services affects public spending and patient well-being near the end of life. Using 1,518 hospice facility openings across U.S. counties between 1999 and 2019, we...

We study panel data regression models when the shocks of interest are aggregate and possibly small relative to idiosyncratic noise. This speaks to a large empirical literature that targets impulse responses via panel local projections. We show how to interpret the estimated coefficients when units...

We study monetary policy where the price and wage Phillips curves exhibit true curvature. To this end, we propose a New Keynesian (NK) model featuring endogenous adjustment of price and wage setting frequencies, moving beyond the quasi-linear structure of the standard nonlinear NK Phillips curves (...

We develop a framework to study how interoperability between competing platforms shapes equilibrium prices and welfare. Our analysis considers two dimensions: interoperability strength—the extent to which network benefits spill over across platform users—and interoperability configuration—whether...

Price freezes on essential energy commodities are widely used to curb inflation expectations and protect low-income households from price volatility. Yet these interventions often become persistent subsidies that distort markets and hinder climate policy goals. We study this dynamic by analyzing...
