This paper studies non-identified linear ill-posed econometric models with estimated operator, including the nonparametric IV regression, the functional IV regression, and many other examples as special cases. We show that under identification failures, regularized estimators are consistent for the...

At an initial time, an individual forms a belief about a future random outcome. As time passes, the individual may obtain, privately or subjectively, further information, until the outcome is eventually revealed. How can a protocol be devised that induces the individual, as a strict best response,...

Why does democracy occur? Most existing explanations view democracy as an institutional arrangement that solves a class conflict between a rich elite and the rest of the population. We study the logic of democratic transition when ethnic tensions are more salient than the poor/rich divide. We...

We examine the economies of density associated with the expansion of Amazon's distribution network from 1999 to 2018. We demonstrate that, in placing a fulfillment center in a new state, Amazon faces a trade-off between the revenue implications of exposing local customers to sales tax on their...

Energy efficiency labels are intended to better inform consumers at the point of sale about unobservable product characteristics. The EU Energy Label is globally one of the largest labeling schemes and obligates manufacturers of white goods to self-certify the efficiency class into which the energy...

Biases in decision making are ubiquitous and have been documented through extensive experimental research. Field studies have replicated many of those biases, and sometimes find that bias decreases with relevant task-specific experience. It remains an open question, however, whether such debiasing...
