A transplant can improve a patient’s life while saving several hundreds of thousands of dollars in healthcare expenditures. Organs from deceased donors, like many other scarce public resources (e.g. public housing, child-care, publicly funded long-term care), are rationed via a sequential offer...

We extend Duffie, Gˆarleanu, and Pedersen’s (2005) search-theoretic model of over-the-counter asset markets, allowing for a decentralized inter-dealer market with arbitrary heterogeneity in dealers’ valuations or inventory costs. We develop a solution technique that makes the model fully tractable...

When an intertemporal carbon budget is imposed to fight climate change, abating emissions earlier has a social rate of return that is equal to the growth rate of the marginal abatement cost, i.e., of the carbon price. I use a normative version of asset pricing theory to determine the efficient...

This talk presents the findings of my research over the past decade on the interaction between demography and economics before and during England’s Industrial Revolution. Reflecting on the findings, the talk entertains the idea that rising male and female incomes in the run up to the Industrial...

Platforms are very large firms the size, financial power and influence are without precedent, developing a two-sided platform business model, generating concentration and sustainable domination.

We develop a class of demand models for differentiated products based on the concept of entropy. The new models facilitate the BLP method (Berry et al., 1995) by avoiding numerical inversion of the demand system. They accommodate rich patterns of substitution and complementarity while being easily...

À la demande des obstétriciens de l'hopital Necker spécialisé dans les maladies rares, nous travaillons depuis deux ans sur un outil d'aide au diagnostic prénatal échographique permettant de transférer les connaissances d'experts. La difficulté du problème est double d'une part l'espace des...

This paper develops a dynamic model of schooling and occupational choices that incorporates personality traits, as measured by the so-called “big five" traits. The model is estimated using the longitudinal HILDA dataset from Australia. Personality traits are found to play a critical role in...
