We develop a model of digital ecosystems based on the assumption that a multimarket firm can use a sale in or data from one market to steer users toward its products in other markets. Due to this “cross-market leverage,” a market leader at an “access point” (where users begin their online journeys...

How does the process of building state strength affect social order? We examine how improvements in state communication networks and increased state presence impact rural unrest by combining original and detailed parish-level data from pre-revolutionary France on the expansion of the horse-post...

Standard optimal capital tax theory abstracts from modeling asset prices, making it unsuitable for thinking about capital gains and wealth taxation. We study optimal redistributive taxation in an environment with asset price changes, adopting the modern finance view that asset prices fluctuate not...

In the presence of increasingly massive and heterogeneous data, the statistical modeling of distributional observations plays a key role. Choosing the ‘right’ embedding space for these data is of paramount importance for their statistical processing, to account for their nature and inherent...

We document a widespread decline in the share of donors to charities in Western countries over the past decade. We show that this can be in part explained by the growing electoral importance of the far-right. We indeed uncover a lower propensity to donate among far-right voters, using several novel...

This paper proposes a novel identification strategy relying on quasi-instrumental variables (quasi-IVs). A quasi-IV is a relevant but possibly invalid IV because it is not exogenous or not excluded. We show that a variety of models with discrete or continuous endogenous treatment which are usually...

Most modern humans live in large-scale societies filled with strangers. How can we navigate these societies without social life descending into conflict and chaos? Since Plato, social theorists have primarily pointed to institutions like legal codes and moralizing religions for enforcing and...

We develop a simple menu-cost model with non-constant elasticity of demand that features idiosyncratic productivity and demand shocks. The model is calibrated to match firm-level productivity and demand processes estimated from U.S. data. Despite its simplicity, the calibrated model delivers...
