A platform matches a unit-mass of sellers, each owning a single product of heterogeneous quality, to a unit-mass of buyers with differing valuations for unit-quality. After matching, sellers make take-it-or-leave-it price-offers to buyers. Initially, valuations of buyers are only known to them and...

This paper combines dynamic mechanism design with collective experimentation. Agents are heterogeneous in that some stand to benefit from a proposed policy reform, while others are better off under the status quo policy. Each agent's private information regarding her reference type accrues only...

We model a software application platform selling devices to consumers and collecting percentage commission over in-app purchases. Apps are complements, differ in their quality and consumers differ in their unit benefit from app quality. App developers decide whether to develop an app (incurring a...

In this paper we estimate the sparse dependence structure in the tail region of a multivariate random vector, potentially of high dimension. The tail dependence is modeled via a graphical model for extremes embedded in the H¨usler-Reiss distribution (Engelke and Hitz, 2020). We propose the extreme...
