Sales of counterfeits in online marketplaces have received large attention from both press and policy makers in recent years. We study an online marketplace platform’s choice between restricting entry to brand owners only and allowing entry of imitators (including counterfeits), how that choice...

Detecting racial discrimination using observational data is challenging because of the presence of unobservables that may be correlated with race. Using data made public in the SFFA v. Harvardcase, we estimate discrimination in a setting where this concern is mitigated....

The U.S. wholesale electricity industry is undergoing a major transformation due to increasing retirements of coal-fired power plants which will be replaced mainly by cheaper and cleaner natural gas generation. This paper shows that such an environmentally desirable transition towards cleaner...

We examine team diversity and performance using the asset management industry as a laboratory. Employing political aliation as a proxy, we nd ideologically diverse teams perform better than homogeneous teams. The mechanism involves both improved decision-making due to more diverse perspectives and...

In this talk, we consider different two-time-scale stochastic approximation algorithms for quantile and superquantile estimation.We study the asymptotic behavior of these algorithms (almost sure convergence, quadratic strong law and law of iterated logarithm, TCL). We also derive non-asymptotic...

This paper shows that the two oil shocks that occurred in 1974-85 and 2003-15 inflicted sizable damage to total factor productivity (TFP) in France and Germany. These are resource-poor economies whose firms are importing most of their inputs of extractive commodities. The real prices they pay for...
