We build a dynamic model of migration where, in addition to classical mobility costs, workers face informational frictions that decrease their ability to compete for distant job opportunities. We structurally estimate the model on a matched employer-employee panel dataset describing labor market...

The long period of quiet inflation at near-zero interest rates, with large quantitative easing, suggests that core monetary doctrines are wrong. It suggests that inflation can be stable and determinate at the zero bound, and by extension under passive policy including a nominal interest rate peg,...

Soda taxes aim to reduce excessive sugar consumption. Their effectiveness depends on whether they successfully target those whose overconsumption is the highest. We assess the impact of soda taxes using novel longitudinal data on purchases on-the-go allowing for multidimensional heterogeneity and...

We develop an empirical approach to value changes to a climate in terms of total market output given optimal factor allocations in general equilibrium. Our approach accounts for unobservable heterogeneity across locations as well as the costs and benefits of adaptation in climates of arbitrary...

Big Data is usually characterized by data whose volume, velocity, diversity, and complexity require new techniques, algorithms, statistics and analytics to manage it and extract value and hidden knowledge from it. Over the past few years, Big data have reached an unprecedented level of popularity...
