We analyze the mechanism-design problem of a principal allocating amounts of a perfectly divisible good to n agents, each of whom desires as much of the good as possible. The principal has an ideal allocation for each agent, which is private information held by that agent. The principal has access...

Governments can shape market competition through targeted regulatory interventions, including firm or product bans. Such interventions not only restrict specific firms but may also generate spillover effects that alter demand and industry structure. We study the 2015 ban of Nestlé’s Maggi noodles...

We present a computational framework for deriving constrained Pareto optimal carbon tax rules within a stochastic overlapping generations (OLG) model. By integrating deep reinforcement learning, Deep Equilibrium Networks for fast policy evaluation, and Gaussian Process surrogate modelling with...

This paper studies the political economy of international payment systems, focusing on how trade sanctions, monetary restrictions, and payment systems shape the emergence of new payment infrastructure, global currency choices, trade flows, and geopolitical alignments. The findings highlight the...

We study communication in dynamic contracting with limited commitment. A firm and a worker interact over time. The worker is privately informed about his productivity. In each period, the firm offers a menu of short-term contracts. The interaction between the firm and the worker continues provided...

We evaluate the economic forces that contribute to Google’s large market share in web search. We develop a model of search engine demand in which consumer choices are influenced by switching costs, quality beliefs, and inattention, and estimate it using a field experiment with US desktop internet...

This paper studies the effect of carbon pricing shocks on the macroeconomy using a highfrequency identification approach. Focusing on the European carbon market, I consider whether carbon policy announcements can be summarised by a single factor, or whether there are additional dimensions that need...

We study bank capital requirements as a tool to address financial risks and externalities caused by carbon emissions. Capital regulation can effectively address financial risks but doing so does not necessarily reduce emissions (e.g., higher capital requirements for carbon-intensive loans may crowd...
