Search costs may be a barrier to market integration in developing countries, harming both producers and consumers. We present evidence from the large-scale experimental rollout of a mobile phone-based marketplace intended to reduce search costs for agricultural commodities in Uganda. We find that...

Using the data on maintenance expenditures and self-assessed house value, I separate the measure of individual housing stock and house prices, and use these data for testing whether nondurable consumption and housing are characterized by intratemporal nonseparability in households’ preferences. I...

This paper presents evidence for a new propagation mechanism of wealth inequality. Motivated by cross-country survey evidence, it uses unique administrative microdata and a quasifield experiment of exogenous assignment to test the hypothesis that, in the presence of significant opportunities for...

We propose a nonparametric Bayesian approach for conducting inference on probabilistic surveys. We use this approach to study whether US Survey of Professional Forecasters density projections for output growth and inflation are consistent with the noisy rational expectations hypothesis. We find...

In the past two decades researchers in autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, a research community in AI, have successfully used techniques from theoretical computer science to analyse and conceive methods for collective decision making. The field is now turning towards the design of social...

Agents face heterogeneous returns to crime, or their types, and decide whether to commit a crime. Police acquire information about agents' types and search them to deter and uncover crimes. If information acquisition is publicly observable, the police will acquire partial information that prevents...

Can firms capitalize on social objectives? We scrutinize a mechanism for firms’ private interests in climate externalities: In a dynamic common agency model, the private interest in internalizing externalities arises endogenously from interaction between income growth, social costs, and rents in...

We introduce frictional financial intermediation into a HANK model. Households are subject to idiosyncratic and aggregate risk and smooth consumption through savings and consumer loans intermediated by banks. The banking friction introduces an endogenous countercyclical spread between the interest...
