We study a model of credit markets with adverse selection where ex-ante identical lenders invest in a screening technology to reduce their type I and type II error in identifying good borrowers. A rich market structure emerges in equilibrium with continuous heterogeneity in lender screening and non...

Graphical models serve as effective tools for visualizing conditional dependencies between variables. However, as the number of variables grows, interpretation becomes increasingly difficult, and estimation uncertainty increases due to the large number of parameters relative to the number of...

This paper investigates instrumental variable (IV) estimation in linear instrumental variable regressions with heavy-tailed distributions. We allow for the possibility of weak instruments in the conventional sense, meaning that the first-stage regression coefficients may converge to zero as the...
