Semiparametric discrete choice models are widely used in a variety of practical applications. While these models are point identified in the presence of continuous covariates, they can become partially identified when covariates are discrete. In this paper we find that classical estimators,...

This paper studies household responses to a sharp energy price increase. Using Finnish household-level microdata from the 2022 European Energy Crisis, we exploit quasi-random contract expiration dates to identify adjustments across key margins: energy use, earnings, financial distress, and residual...

This paper extends the equilibrium model of Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes (BLP, 1995) by endogenizing the consumers’ choice sets. We introduce an entry stage preceding the Bertrand pricing game where firms choose which products to offer. We show that the demand and cost parameters are identified under...

Social media platforms moderate content in many ways, balancing the desire of content providers to be seen and trusted with consumers’ desire to see and have certified only the content that they value. Content moderation by platforms has come under regulatory scrutiny. We introduce an abstract...

I propose a quantitative theory for the dynamics of wealth inequality based on households' heterogeneous exposure to aggregate risk in asset returns. I develop an optimal portfolio choice model building on evidence that housing is a necessary good which replicates the main features of portfolio...

We guide the reader through key statistical techniques for monitoring and forecasting macroeconomic risk. Moving beyond standard linear point forecasts, we demonstrate how to construct flexible conditional distributions of future GDP growth. We show that several methods can be leveraged to achieve...

We analyze the mechanism-design problem of a principal allocating amounts of a perfectly divisible good to n agents, each of whom desires as much of the good as possible. The principal has an ideal allocation for each agent, which is private information held by that agent. The principal has access...

Governments can shape market competition through targeted regulatory interventions, including firm or product bans. Such interventions not only restrict specific firms but may also generate spillover effects that alter demand and industry structure. We study the 2015 ban of Nestlé’s Maggi noodles...
