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...

Real-time bottlenecks in non-storable infrastructure—most visibly electricity—can throttle modern production. We embed proportional rationing of grid supply into multi-sector economy, showing that unexpected scarcity cuts output, employment, and consumption, while the prospect of future capacity...

The importance of distributional aspects of environmental policy has become even more evident over time. This paper deals with how to handle distributional aspects of public good provision optimally from a social welfare point of view, when distributional issues can also be handled through optimal...

While good ideas can emerge anywhere, it takes a community to develop and disseminate them. In premodern Europe (1084-1793), there were approximately 200 universities and 150 academies of sciences, which were home to thousands of scholars and created an extensive network of intellectual exchange....

The thesis of this essay is that, in heterogeneous agent macroeconomics, the assumption of rational expectations about equilibrium prices is unrealistic and should be replaced. Rational expectations imply that decision makers forecast equilibrium prices like interest rates by forecasting cross-...

Ethnonationalist governments frequently adopt policies that challenge the status of ethnic minorities as equal members of the nation. We propose that such policies – even when purely symbolic – have tangible consequences for the groups they target through a previously understudied channel. Exposure...

We consider the problem of performing inference on the mathematical expectation of unknown quantile-cdf transforms of a random variable. A prominent instance where this problem arises is the Changes-in-Changes model for causal inference developed by Athey and Imbens (2006), in which the average...

This paper develops a theoretical model to study how data monetization influences digital innovation and competition in data-driven mergers. Data monetization generates additional revenue for digital firms but imposes privacy costs on consumers, and heterogeneity in these costs reshapes market...

Market mechanisms aim to reduce environmental degradation at low cost, but they are undermined when participants’ conservation actions are not marginal to the incentive — or “additional” — as the lowest-cost participants may not be the highest social value. We investigate this challenge in the...
