Between ca. 50,000 and 40,000 years ago, one of the most profound upheavals in the history of humanity occurred with the extinction of Neanderthals and the emergence of anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe. The main paradigm over the last 30 years characterized this process as a...

A seller decides whether to adopt a new technology that can lower his cost of production and then bargains with a buyer over the price of an object. Both players can build reputations for being obstinate in the bargaining process by oering the same price over time. We show that even when the buyer...

We develop an econometric framework to study merger efficiencies. Classification methods are employed to determine the sign of the merger's effect on output levels. Building on these classifications, and on familiar oligopoly theory results, we compute bounds on marginal cost savings. We apply this...

It is now plausible to envision scenarios in which global demand for crude oil falls to essentially zero by the end of this century, driven by a combination of improvements in clean energy technologies and adoption of increasingly stringent climate policies. This paper asks what such a demand...

Understanding the geometric properties of gradient descent dynamics is a key ingredient in deciphering the recent success of very large machine learning models. A striking observation is that trained over-parameterized models retain some properties of the optimization initialization. This “implicit...
