In many markets, disagreements are settled using arbitration. We examine this understudied form of dispute resolution in the context of the one of largest arbitration systems, the No Surprises Act, a 2022 federal law which resolves payment disputes between insurers and providers for surprise, out-...

We will examine stochastic implicit algorithms. These algorithms have proven more robust with respect to step size selection compared to their explicit counterparts. Specifically, we will show that variance reduction techniques enable to improve the convergence rates of these implicit algorithms as...

Sustainable investing is widespread, yet investors' motives are not well understood. Are they driven by a desire to generate environmental impact (impact preferences) or by a preference to invest in firms that share their values (value alignment)? To distinguish these motives, I conduct an...

We study the output responses to common fiscal policies in a macroeconomic framework with a frictional labor market, incomplete asset market and nominal rigidities. The framework admits data-consistent dynamics of hiring and firing and consumption responses to job loss, making it suitable for...

This paper develops a multisector model of firm entry, exit, and growth. We provide conditions under which firm values are independent of the aggregate state. This property allows equilibrium prices and firm entry to be solved period by period, enabling analysis of transitional dynamics in...

We extend the high-frequency monetary policy shock measures of Kuttner (2001) and Gürkaynak, Sack, and Swanson (2005a) to other major types of Fed communication beyond FOMC announcements, including post-FOMC-meeting press conferences, speeches and Congressional testimony by the Fed Chair and Vice...

How do social connections and the shared norms that arise from them shape health and behavior—and how can we leverage these forces to improve wellbeing? In this talk, I will discuss a series of field-based studies exploring social networks and norms as root drivers of human behavior and wellbeing....

I examine three simple parsimonious theories of long-term play in experimental economics, refined perfection, Fehr-Schmidt, and behavioral mechanism design. Refined perfection has known flaws, and Fehr-Schmidt shares some of these flaws. By some measures it does better for games in which incentives...

We characterize the optimal design of data analytics for algorithmic pricing in a market where firms aim to collude under secret price cuts. Firms obtain information either through predictive analytics before price setting --- i.e., ex ante information provision --- or through diagnostic analytics...
