We develop a discrete-continuous choice model to characterize the link between plan choice, switching frictions, and subsequent continuous choice of service utilization. We then test the model predictions by using a randomized controlled trial in electricity tariff choice. We find that both...

In this paper, I estimate the degree of organizational integration of merging firms and the intensity of industry competition in the ready-to-eat cereal industry. Using pre- and post-merger industry data surrounding the 1993 Post-Nabisco merger, I separate merging firms' intra-organizational...

Climate policy pushes energy-efficiency investments as a means to reduce energy consump- tion, and thus greenhouse gas emissions, in developing countries. I report the results of a large field experiment among energy-intensive Indian manufacturing plants that offered information and skilled labor...

We estimate the impact of new infrastructure in rural Nicaraguan villages facing seasonal floods that unpredictably eliminate access to outside markets. We build footbridges designed to eliminate this risk. Identification exploits small engineering requirements that preclude construction in some...

In this paper, we assess theoretically and empirically the consequences of demand misperceptions. To this end, we develop a New Keynesian model with dispersed information where agents receive noisy signals on both supply and demand. Firms and consumers have an asymetric access to information, so...
