We build a model of collective reputation under moral hazard and adverse selection to analyze the incentive effects of different collective reputation structures. Heterogeneous producers need to exert effort to produce high quality. The demand side a priori does not observe the true quality,...

This paper estimates the impacts of road improvements on local employment structure and specialization in Mexico over the period 1985-2016. Using geo-referenced panel data, it measures access to domestic markets for each locality and time as a weighted sum of surrounding populations (market access...

Motivated by recent investigations over Google's practices in the smartphone industry, we study bundling in markets for devices that allow consumers to use applications. The presence of applications on a device increases demand for it, and application developers earn revenues by interacting with...

We build a model of the U.S. economy with multiple aggregate shocks (income, housing finance conditions, and beliefs about future housing demand) that generate fluctuations in equilibrium house prices. Through a series of counterfactual experiments, we study the housing boom and bust around the...

We study how a decision maker uses his reputation to simultaneously influence the actions of multiple receivers with heterogenous biases. The reputational payoff is single-peaked around a bliss reputation at which the incentives of the average receiver are perfectly aligned. We evidence two...

We develop a residential sorting model based on a panel of county-to-county migration flows to estimate the marginal valuation of air pollution. Our approach exploits annual crosssectional variation in migration flows to estimate mean location utilities at the county level, while flexibly...
