Firms increasingly leverage external data with an aim to unlock improvements in products and services, but it is challenging to measure the value of external data. Collaborating with a large Chinese technology company, we analyze a randomized field experiment where we manipulated access to the...

We propose a plausible mechanism for the short-term dynamics of the oil market based on the interaction of a cartel, a fringe of competitive producers, and a crowd of capacity-constrained physical arbitrageurs that store the resource. The model leads to a system of two coupled nonlinear partial...

For better or worse, humans are now one of the major causal forces acting on the earth’s biosphere. Many would point to technology as the reason, but what exactly is technology? In this lecture, I will develop an evolutionarily grounded definition of technology that highlights three key features:...

This paper is concerned with a continuous time, dynamic contracting problem in which the principal observes performance at discrete intervals only. In spite of this, incentive compatibility can be enforced pathwise, but at additional costs to both the principal and the agent. The discrete nature of...

This paper experimentally studies how people learn about their environment when their subjective understanding of the environment, their mental model, is misspecified. We use people's tendency to hold optimistic beliefs about their abilities to generate a significant amount of model...

We examine identification of differentiated products demand when one has “micro data” linking the characteristics and choices of individual consumers. Our model nests standard specifications featuring rich observed and unobserved consumer heterogeneity as well as product/market-level unobservables...

The world is rapidly changing, leading to new societal challenges. At their core, many of these challenges are social, highlighting the need for effective theories of social change. Theories of cultural evolution are perhaps the best candidates for a unifying framework for understanding social...
