Self-play via online learning is a leading paradigm for solving large-scale games and has enabled recent superhuman performance (e.g., Go, Poker). This work clarifies that different convergence notions in self-play (last iterate, best iterate, and a randomly sampled iterate) can behave...

We develop a theory in which a lower cost of unemployment increases workers’ willingness to join risky young firms, lowering negotiated wages relative to safer firms. These lower wages encourage young firms to undertake high-upside experimentation, raising aggregate productivity. Using Danish...

Mortality research has traditionally treated death as an individual event measured through annualised rates. While this approach is essential for monitoring population-level mortality, it reveals little about how mortality is experienced by individuals. In practice, individuals encounter death not...

What are the welfare consequences of privacy regulation when a media platform offers both an ad-supported free version and an ad-free premium subscription? We present a model where privacy regulation lowers advertiser willingness to pay for advertising. The platform reacts by lowering the premium...

Schools shape skills that matter beyond academic achievement. Teachers are central to this process, yet whether these effects arise from fixed teacher attributes or from malleable instructional practices remains unclear. We investigate this question through a randomized intervention in Spanish...

Optimal stopping problems lie at the interface of probability, statistics, and sequential decision theory. They model situations in which decisions must be made online, using only the information revealed so far and without access to future outcomes. After briefly discussing a few motivating...

A growing number of empirical studies analyze peer effects via pairwise regressions, assessing whether the similarity of individual outcomes within a pair is higher when the two agents are connected. We provide the first analysis of identification and inference in these pairwise regressions. We...

We propose a new model in which relationship-specific effects or shocks are identified in a bipartite network under mild covariance restrictions, generalising the influential Abowd et al. (1999) framework. For example, separate demand shocks are identified for each bank from which a firm borrows....
