We develop a novel theory of real estate foreclosure auctions, which have the special feature that the lender acts as a seller for low and as a buyer for high prices. The theory yields several empirically testable predictions concerning the strategic behavior of the agents when the seller has an...

We use new data on security-level portfolio holdings of institutional investors and households in the euro area to understand the impact of the ongoing asset purchase programme of the European Central Bank (ECB) on the dynamics of risk exposures and on asset prices. We develop a tractable...

We estimate the causal impact of air pollution on the incidence and duration of sickness leaves taken by a representative sample of employees affiliated to the social security system in Spain. Identification derives from day-to-day variation in air pollution concentrations to which the individuals...

We consider a class of games with continuum of players where equilibria can be obtained by the minimization of a certain functional related to optimal transport as emphasized in [7]. We then use the powerful entropic regularization technique to approximate the problem and solve it numerically in...

This paper investigates how consumers react to product safety threats when there are no close substitutes for the unsafe product.
