We present two experimental studies, one with university students in a controlled laboratory environment (n = 200) and one with a nationally representative sample (n = 1,000), where consumers were asked to make real purchases within an online supermarket platform. The studies captured the effect of...

We propose and investigate a market model for power prices, including most basic features exhibited by previous models and taking into account self-exciting properties. The model proposed extends Hawkes-type models by introducing a two-fold integral representation property. A Random Field approach...

No state can successfully execute its functions without a reliable way of monitoring rule compliance. E ective public audits are therefore a key foundation of state capacity. Economists have usually considered audits as neutral tools of information extraction. We look into the black box of the...

I study a regression model in which one covariate is an unknown function of a latent driver of link formation in a network. Rather than specify and fit a parametric network formation model, I introduce a new method based on matching pairs of agents with similar columns of the squared adjacency...

We study a class of games where stores source unobservable inventories in advance, and then simultaneously set prices. Our framework allows for firm asymmetries, heterogeneous consumer tastes, endogenous consumer information through advertising, and salvage values for unsold units. The payoff...

This paper examines how consumers respond to nonlinear prices. Using arich dataset that exploits a natural experiment on electricity consumers inBritish Columbia, I find evidence of households misunderstanding nonlinearprices—specifically that marginal price applies to all consumption, not...
