When present-biased borrowers have the option to default on their liabilities, we establish that they undervalue their default option by a U-shaped error. The biased beliefs gives rise to pseudo-wealth that explains why borrowers take excessive leverage, imperfectly smooth consumption, underinvest...

One of the most profound changes in the industrial landscape in the last decade has been the growth of business ecosystems- groups of connected firms, drawing on (digital) platforms which leverage their complementors and lock-in their customers, exploiting the “bottlenecks” that emerge in new...

Do campaign promises matter? We combine a structural model and a large-scale field experiment disseminating candidate policy platforms in Philippine mayoral elections to show how voters respond to campaign promises. Voters who randomly received information about current campaign promises are more...

Paper 1 - We study identification of time preferences in environments where an agent first makes an advance commitment, and later can revise her choices. A frequently-discussed empirical finding in such environments---often interpreted as evidence of time inconsistency---is that on average, agents...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can be viewed as nonlinear sieves. In general, nonlinear sieves (including ANNs) can approximate unknown nonlinear functions of high dimensional variables more effectively than linear sieves, but are computationally more demanding. In this talk, I present three...

We address this question using an estimated New Keynesian DSGE model of the Euro Area with trendinflation, imperfect indexation, and a lower bound on the nominal interest rate. In this setup, a decreasein the steady-state real interest rate,r?, increases the probability of hitting the lower bound...

The paper proposes a parsimonious and flexible semiparametric quantile regression specification for asymmetric bidders within the independent private value framework. Asymmetry is parametrized using powers of a parent private value distribution, which is generated by a quantile regression...

Since the beginning of the REDD+ mechanism, hundreds of projects have emerged around the globe. Much attention has been given to REDD+ projects in the literature, but the conditions under which they are likely to be effective are still not well known. In particular, the location bias concept states...
