We present a computational framework for deriving constrained Pareto optimal carbon tax rules within a stochastic overlapping generations (OLG) model. By integrating deep reinforcement learning, Deep Equilibrium Networks for fast policy evaluation, and Gaussian Process surrogate modelling with...

This paper studies the political economy of international payment systems, focusing on how trade sanctions, monetary restrictions, and payment systems shape the emergence of new payment infrastructure, global currency choices, trade flows, and geopolitical alignments. The findings highlight the...

We study communication in dynamic contracting with limited commitment. A firm and a worker interact over time. The worker is privately informed about his productivity. In each period, the firm offers a menu of short-term contracts. The interaction between the firm and the worker continues provided...

We evaluate the economic forces that contribute to Google’s large market share in web search. We develop a model of search engine demand in which consumer choices are influenced by switching costs, quality beliefs, and inattention, and estimate it using a field experiment with US desktop internet...

This paper studies the effect of carbon pricing shocks on the macroeconomy using a highfrequency identification approach. Focusing on the European carbon market, I consider whether carbon policy announcements can be summarised by a single factor, or whether there are additional dimensions that need...

We study bank capital requirements as a tool to address financial risks and externalities caused by carbon emissions. Capital regulation can effectively address financial risks but doing so does not necessarily reduce emissions (e.g., higher capital requirements for carbon-intensive loans may crowd...

This paper studies the question of how to target aid after a natural disaster. Disaster aid programs often use property damage as a criterion for eligibility. A household’s ability to insure against shocks may be harder to observe but more important in determining how the disaster affects welfare....

In many settings, machine learning models are used in conjunction with a human decision maker. For example, consider a model used to make diagnoses in healthcare. Far from having the model operate autonomously, human clinicians may provide a second opinion on hard cases, use the predictions to...

We study the design of thresholds in pass/fail tests. The principal aims for the agent to pass when the agent's natural type (e.g. ability) is sufficiently high. However, the agent can manipulate the perceived natural type at a cost. Randomizing the passing threshold becomes optimal when the...
