We study the problem of nonparametric regression when the regressor is endogenous, which is an important nonparametric instrumental variables (NPIV) estimation in econometrics and a difficult ill-posed inverse problem with unknown operator in statistics. We contribute to the NPIV literature as...

We study a novel mechanism design model in which agents each arrive sequentially and choose one action from a set of actions with unknown rewards. The information revealed by the principal affects the incentives of the agents to explore and generate new information. We characterize the optimal...

We propose a new theory of exclusive dealing. The theory is based on the assumption that a dominant firm has a competitive advantage over its rivals, and that the buyers' willingness to pay for the product is private information. In this setting, we show that the dominant firm can impose...

We investigate the consequences of allowing for repeated capital market transactions in a model with asymmetric information between a firm and its investors. All firms in the model possess a profitable project that they need to raise cash to undertake. However, equilibria exist in which firms...

Contract theory has given rise to new classes of optimization problems. In this talk, I will focus on the adverse selection problem with multiple types. I will give a short history of the mathematical developments, I will describe the mathematical state of the art, and state some open problems,...

We analyze personalized regulation in the form of sin licenses (O'Donoghue and Rabin 2003, 2005, 2007) to correct the distortion in the consumption of a harmful good when consumers suffer from varying degrees of self-control problems. We take into account demand uncertainty, which generates a trade...
