We study social coordination among agents in a two-layer network. Using the tools of global game selection, we develop an algorithm that partitions the network into communities within which agents have the same propensity to choose the same network. We demonstrate how the topology of both...

With forecasted increases in heavy precipitation and associated flooding, there is a need to understand the economic impacts of flood events. Even if there is extensive research on the impacts of coastal floods, we cannot directly extrapolate these findings to inland flooding given different...

We develop a general equilibrium model featuring heterogeneous households, nominal rigidities, and limits to arbitrage due to segmentation in long-term bond markets. While conventional policy alone can stabilize aggregate fluctuations, the presence of market segmentation implies that such a policy...

Morality plays a critical role both in our own sense of identity and how we form impressions and trust others. Traditionally, work in psychology has focused how trust is influenced by whether someone is moral. In this talk I will present some of my work over the last years showing how trust is not...

Public programs often delegate spending decisions to agents with private incentives to overspend. One way to mitigate this is to institute a quantity limit prohibiting or restricting spending above a cap. This paper considers the efficacy of using quantity limits for health care in the context of a...

This talk will propose a quick overview of Compass Lexecon and of the types of cases in which consultants and experts are involved. The presentation will then focus on a specific merger case recently reviewed by the European Commission to illustrate the investigation’s process and examples of...

Networks where high-degree nodes preferentially connect to other high-degree nodes are called (degree) assortative. Real-world networks often show high assortativity or high disassortativity. Therefore, there is an interest to produce models of networks with predefined assortativity or...

We study selection into a voluntary unemployment insurance (UI) scheme. To disentangle behavioral effects from selection, we exploit variation in the sign-up induced by an early retirement scheme embedded in the UI system. Using Danish register data, we quantify the selection with an event study...
