We measure the inflation-unemployment tradeoff associated with monetary easing and tightening, during booms and recessions, using a novel nonlinear Proxy-SVAR approach. We find evidence of significant nonlinearities for the U.S. economy (1973:M1 - 2019:M6): stimulating economic activity during...

Competing research lines start and grow as information is gradually uncovered by scientists who choose their fields driven by career incentives. We build a strategic experimentation framework in which agents irreversibly specialize in one of two risky fields, and information updates arrive more...

We ask when additional data collection by a monopolist to engage in price discrimination monotonically increases or decreases weighted surplus. To answer this question, we develop a model to study endogenous market segmentation subject to residual uncertainty. We give a complete characterization...

Stock markets play a dual role: improve capital allocation across firms by conveying information about their fundamentals and provide liquidity to traders by quickly turning stocks into cash. We propose a trading model in which these two roles are endogenously related: if stocks are used more...

We assemble global spatially disaggregated panel data describing ambient particulate levels and transport, population, and economic and polluting activities. These data indicate the importance of country level determinants of pollution, of the equilibrium process that separates or brings together...

The recent statistical theory of neural networks focuses on nonparametric denoising problems that treat randomness as additive noise. Variability in image classification datasets does, however, not originate from additive noise but from variation of the shape and other characteristics of the same...

Come and join us for an engaging session as we delve into the case study of the highly debated merger between TF1 and M6, two giants of the French television landscape. Discover the strategic motivations behind this ambitious project and the reasons that led to its eventual abandonment at the end...

Floating population: migration with(out) family and the spatial distribution of economic activity ∗ Cl ement Imbert Joan Monras Marlon Seror ́ Yanos Zylberberg January 24, 2025 Abstract A key, yet under-explored, aspect of migration is the decision to leave behind dependent family members. We...

In many control problems there is only limited information about the actions that will be available at future stages. We introduce a framework where the Controller chooses actions a0, a1, ..., one at a time. Her goal is to maximize the probability that the infinite sequence is an element of a given...

Boundary discontinuity designs are used to learn about treatment effects along a continuous boundary that splits units into control and treatment groups according to their bivariate score variable. These research designs are also called Multi-Score Regression Discontinuity designs, a leading...
