A growing recent literature relies on a precautionary pricing motive embedded in representative agent DSGE models with sticky prices and wages to generate negative output effects of uncertainty shocks. We assess whether this model channel is consistent with the data. We build a New Keynesian DSGE...

In the regression discontinuity design, it is common practice to asses the credibility of the design by testing whether the means of baseline covariates do not change at the cutoff (or threshold) of the running variable. This practice is partly motivated by the stronger implication derived by Lee (...

A principal can relax the participation constraints of the agents by designing the (otherwise off the equilibrium path) beliefs following disagreement using a mediation device that, with a small probability, manipulates the messages received from the agents to originate spurious rejections that are...

We study industries where prices are not limited to their allocative and distributive roles, but also serve as an investment into lower costs or higher demand. While our model focuses on learning-by-doing and the cost advantage that it implies, our conclusions also apply to industries driven by...

We assume that the ex-post utility of an agent facing a menu of lotteries depends upon the actual payoff together with its forgone best alternative, thereby allowing for the expost emotion of regret. An increase in the risk of regret is obtained when the actual payoff and its forgone best...

Durable purchases require households to forecast future utility flows, which might be subject to behavioral biases such as projection bias, salience and present bias. I test for such biases in a market where exogenous variations in weather can be directly linked to decision utility: the market for...
