We analyze the e¤ect of bank capital requirements on the structure and risk of a nancial system where markets, regulated banks, and shadow banks coexist. Banks face a moral hazard problem in screening entrepreneursprojects, and they choose whether to be regulated or not. If regulated, a supervisor...

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...

Many regions in sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing increasing rates of land formalization and land market transactions. However, data constraints have limited progress in understanding the determinants and impact of such a process. We leverage parcel-level administrative data from the Uganda Land...

We investigate how formularies used by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to steer consumer demand can constrain spending by affecting manufacturer rebates for branded drugs. We present a theoretical model of multidimensional contracting in which a PBM offers multiple drug manufacturers a menu of...

We study optimal monetary policy in a tractable Small Open Economy Heterogeneous-Agent New Keynesian (SOE-HANK) model in which households face uninsured idiosyncratic risk and unequal bond market access. We derive conditions under which optimal policy in our SOEHANK economy entails domestic...

What are the most effective ways to address climate change? This paper extends and applies the marginal value of public funds (MVPF) framework to help answer this question. We examine around 100 US environmental policy changes studied over the past 25 years. These policies span subsidies (wind,...

The Fama-French factors are ubiquitous in empirical finance. We find that factor returns differ substantially depending on when the data were downloaded, and only a small portion of these retroactive changes is explained by revisions to the underlying data. We show that these changes have large...
