Non-trade-policy barriers remain key in explaining patterns of trade and their presence motivates many deep trade agreements. Their nature and welfare effects, however, remain poorly understood. We quantify how non-trade-policy barriers between the EU-UK changed following the introduction of the...

Deforestation and the subsequent use of deforested land for agricultural activities account for roughly 20% of the global CO2-equivalent emissions in the past two decades. Despite the global scope of the consequences of deforestation, public policies and private initiatives to reduce deforestation...

Attention to the economy plays a key role in canonical macro models, yet its empirical properties are not well understood. We collect novel measures of attention to the economy based on open-ended survey questions. Our measures are included in tailored panel surveys of German firms and households,...

We analyze the dynamic tradeoff between the generation and the disclosure of evidence. Agents are tempted to delay investing in a new technology in order to learn from information generated by the experiences of others. This informational free-riding is collectively harmful as it slows down...

Can relationship lending be sustained in public nancial markets? We use rms' call decisions as a laboratory to study this question. After a xed-price call forces existing bondholders to sell their bonds back at below market prices, existing bondholders are far less likely to participate in rms'...

Peter Olivi discovered price theory in Narbonne in his 1295 Treatise on Contracts to counter the spurious arguments used by confessors to inflict massive fines on merchants. He analyzes demand and supply, equilibrium by "common estimation of the market price" i.e., rational expectations. He extends...

Fair pricing standards are used in various industries, encompassing fair trade, labor practices, and state-regulated pricing. We demonstrate that fair pricing can serve as a vertical restraint by a dominant manufacturer on its retailers to fully coordinating prices in a multi-product distribution...

We develop an asset-side theory of bank liquidity requirements, which focuses on the risk-management gains from requiring cash reserves. The key role of cash in the bank is to attenuate the banker’s moral hazard. Because cash is observable and riskless, its value does not depend on the banker’s...
