The ongoing expansion of interdisciplinary research has been coined a "golden age" in science, yet the replication crisis and difficulties in applying scientific insights have contributed to declining public trust in science. There has been a noticeable lack of focus on theory in advancing...

Food consumption patterns generate significant environmental externalities that remain insufficiently addressed by public policies. This paper explores the global environmental footprints induced by food consumption in the European Union (EU27) and assesses the potential of tax policies for...

We study the fluctuating performance of characteristic-sorted portfolios through the lens of a statistical model that allows for persistent variation in expected returns. The model provides a simple formula for adjusting the standard errors of unconditional (or long-run) expected return estimates;...

There is a fundamental complementarity between social democracy and competition. A true social democracy is based on a clear definition of the respective roles of the public (governmental) and competitive (private) sectors in the provision of public and social goods and services (PSGS), such as...

This paper examines the impact of prison connections on re-incarceration, using comprehensive data on prisoners' cell assignments in France from 2016 to 2022. It documents that having one additional cellmate with a drug-related conviction increases re-incarceration for drug crimes (+7.2% in the...

We introduce weak barycenters of a family of probability distributions, based on the recently developed notion of optimal weak transport of mass. We provide a theoretical analysis of this object and discuss its interpretation in the light of convex ordering between probability measures. In...

We study the impact of the Roman Inquisition on science during the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries. A structural model of occupation and location decisions enables the quantification of causal mechanisms and counterfactual historical experiments in a setting where a reduced-...

“Retail media” refers to ads served to consumers on retailers’ websites. From being essentially non-existent a decade ago, this market is projected to grow to $100 billion by 2026 in the US, which would be more than 20% of all US ad spend. Retail media has important implications for advertisers (...

I use an Iterated Strict Dominance (ISD) argument to build bounds on the distribution of outcomes of games and use them to pin down an identified set for the parameters of interest. These bounds (ISD Bounds) are robust to equilibrium multiplicity, pure and mixed, and to any non-equilibrium play as...
