While competition policy has traditionally focused primarily on product markets, the recent years have seen an increased interest among competition enforcers in the labour markets. The US Department of Justice famously undertook antitrust action against several Silicon Valley companies for alleged...

A large literature shows that media reporting about out-group crime shapes political attitudes and voting, yet overlooks a crucial upstream actor: the police, who supply the information that newsrooms rely on. We argue that the police act as strategic bureaucrats who increase disclosure of out-...

We study the influence of family members, neighbors and coworkers on retirement behavior. To estimate causal retirement spillovers between individuals, we exploit a pension reform in the Netherlands that creates exogenous variation in peers' retirement ages, and we use administrative data on the...

Anomaly detection is a branch of data analysis and machine learning which aims at identifying observations that exhibit abnormal behaviour. Be it measurement errors, disease development, severe weather, production quality default(s) (items) or failed equipment, financial frauds or crisis events,...

Following the seminal paper by Altonji and Segal (1996), empirical studies have widely embraced equal or diagonal weighting in minimum distance estimation to mitigate the finite-sample bias caused by sampling errors in the weighting matrix. This paper introduces a new weighting scheme that combines...

Mobility barriers hinder structural transformation and economic growth. This paper examines how land market frictions constrain labor mobility. In developing countries, rural households risk losing land if they stop cultivating it. This implicit barrier is made explicit through China’s hukou system...

In this talk, I outline the broad potential of network-structured economic games to address a large set of questions about human social relations, and their causes and consequences. I first discuss how such games address some of the key limitations of both classical economic games and self-report...

We study the tradeoff between monetary bonuses and non-monetary prizes (such as promotions or perquisites) as instruments to overcome moral hazard. While money functions as a surplus-neutral transfer, prize allocations impact surplus and may be distorted to provide rewards or punishments. An...
