This paper analyzes the nonparametric identification of nonseparable models in the presence of sample selection. Most existing sample selection models severely restrict the effect heterogeneity of the observed variables on the outcome distribution. In contrast, we allow for essential heterogeneity...

We develop a theory of equilibrium in asset markets with adverse selection. Traders can buy and sell an asset at any price. Sellers recognize that their trades may be rationed if they ask for a high price, while buyers recognize that they can only get a high quality good by paying a high price....

This empirical note deals with the contractual design of relationships in distribution networks. In the framework of agency theory, I study the royalty rate as an incentive device for the upstream firm in maintaining brand-name value, using recent French data to estimate probit models. The results...

This paper studies how a "preference for consistency" can affect economic decision-making. We propose a two-period model where people have a preference for consistency because consistent behavior allows them to signal personal and intellectual strength. We then present three experiments that study...

To what extent have weather fluctuations in Africa affected infant mortality over the last fifty years? We investigate this question by combining individual level data, obtained from retrospective fertility surveys (DHS) for nearly a million births in 28 African countries, with data for weather...

We use data at the Census ward level to investigate the extent to which labor markets are "local". We present some non-structural estimates in which the probability of filling a vacancy is influenced by unemployment and vacancies in the surrounding areas, but we argue that these estimates cannot...

L'instabilité dans les modèles de sélection de variables est une préoccupation majeure dans le cas de jeux de données contenant un grand nombre de covariables. Cet article traite des méthodes de sélection de variables dans le cas des problèmes de grande dimension quand la variable d'intérêt est...

We characterize the unique equilibrium in which high ability sellers always announce the quality of their items truthfully, in a repeated game model of experienced good markets with adverse selection on a seller's propensity to supply good quality items. In this equilibrium a seller's value...
