This paper studies linear time series regressions with many regressors. Weak exogeneity is the most commonly used identifying assumption in time series. Weak exogeneity requires that the structural error has zero expectation conditional on the current and past value of the regressors, but it...

We identify a shock that explains the bulk of fluctuations in equity risk premia, and show that the shock also explains a large fraction of the business-cycle comovements of output, consumption, employment, and investment. Recessions induced by the shock are associated with reallocation away from...

Game-theoretic models of cancer may help us to understand cancer and improve its treatment. There are many in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrating that cancer cells’ interactions impact their mutation/proliferation rates. However, measuring this impact is very difficult (and sometimes...

We study how regulating data usage impacts innovation in digital markets. Platforms commonly use proprietary data about third-party sellers to inform their own competing offerings, dampening incentives for innovation. We model this interaction and characterize how data usage restrictions reshape...

Market-based climate policy decentralizes abatement decisions via a carbon price, e.g. by establishing a permit market for CO2 emissions. Since CO2 emissions are often released jointly with conventional air pollutants, CO2 permit trades give rise to implicit trades of various co-pollutants. In...

Medical technologies can target care to patients identified through screening, raising questions of how broadly to screen for potential use. We explore this empirically in the context of a non-invasive prenatal screening, cfDNA, which is used to target a more costly invasive test that elevates...

For about 25 years before the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation was very low and stable in most advanced economies. A little noticed dark side of this impressive achievement is that unemployment rates were almost always higher than needed to keep inflation low. This widespread and persistent policy...

In supervised learning – for instance in image classification – modern massive datasets are commonly labeled by a crowd of workers. The obtained labels in this crowdsourcing setting are then aggregated for training. The aggregation step generally leverages a per worker trust score. Yet, such worker...

We provide a framework for understanding banks’ demand for central bank reserves. The main reserve demand drivers are: The spread between market rates and the interest rate on reserves, banks’ liquidity needs (implying that reserves generate a convenience yield), and bank balance sheet costs. Given...
