The provision of global public goods, such as climate change mitigation and managing fisheries to avoid overharvesting, requires the coordination of national contributions. The contributions are managed by elected governments who, in turn, are subject to public pressure on the matter. In an...

In this paper I propose a model of the evolution of the world distribution of population and productivity from 1000 years ago until today. Taking agricultural potential and basic geographic features as inputs, this model makes predictions for population, sector shares of employment and output,...

We consider the problem of Laplace deconvolution with noisy discrete non-equally spaced observations on a finite time interval. We propose a new method for Laplace deconvolution which is based on expansions of the convolution kernel, the unknown function and the observed signal over a Laguerre...

In this talk, I will first describe some problems in large population stochastic control (e.g. Mean-Field Games). The solution to these problems are characterised by a master equation, as observed by Lasry-Lions, which is a PDE written on the Wasserstein space of probability measures. I will then...

We use data from an online marketplace of vacation rentals (Airbnb) collected in 19 major cities in North America and Europe to measure discrimination against ethnic-minority hosts. For our purpose, this market has three interesting features: the existence of a detailed reviewing system, the high...

We study the delegation problem between an investor and a financial intermediary, who is not only privately informed about the state of the world but also has superior awareness of the available investment opportunities. Before the investor makes a delegation choice, the intermediary can expand the...
