I study the effect of universal service regulation on the roll-out of new mobile telecommunications technologies by oligopolistic service providers. To this end, I develop a non-stationary dynamic game of entry and technology upgrade under regulation, which I estimate using new panel data on mobile...

Borrowing from multiple lenders can lead to a debt dilution problem: Lenders do not internalize that issuing a new loan can affect borrowers’ ability and incentive to pay off loans provided by other lenders. Using data on the universe of retail loans in Brazil, we provide new causal estimates of...

We estimate the economic value of biodiversity’s ecosystem services in agriculture and forestry, focusing on pest control provided by migratory birds across North America. These sectors are both major contributors to biodiversity loss and highly dependent on the services biodiversity provides,...

In this talk, we will explore various techniques for estimating treatment effects by leveraging different causal measures and integrating multiple data sources, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and real-world observational data. We will begin by discussing generalization methods that...

Doctors often treat similar patients differently, affecting health and spending. We review the recent literature on physician decision making through the lens of a model that incorporates doctors diagnostic and procedural skills, beliefs, and incentives as well as differences in patient pools. The...

When poverty is correlated with supply costs across space, firms may charge the poor higher prices. To resolve such inequality, the government, for example, can provide transportation subsidies to firms. How might such government programs be designed? What issues arise in the government’s...

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,...
