This paper estimates the welfare effects of advertising regulation on TV. I develop a structural model of demand and supply, in which both the broadcasting content and the amount of advertising are endogenously determined. My results suggest that while the legislation imposes stricter advertising...

Species extinctions and ecological degradation are accelerating to a degree unprecedented in human history. We present causal evidence on the economic drivers of biodiversity loss using a novel panel dataset on the types and quantities of wildlife at thousands of locations across the U.S. from 1960...

We present an analysis of the tax treatment of couples. We first investigate how marriage bonuses and penalties evolved in the US federal income tax since the 1960s. We then develop sufficient statistics for an analysis of Pareto-improving, welfare-improving and political feasible reforms of tax...

The paper decomposes the raw fire sale discount into a quality component, a misallocation component, and a residual liquidity component. We find that distressed airlines under-maintain their fleets and, this quality impairment explains half of the discount. We find no evidence of misallocation to...

Let's talk about random compression, bias, unitary invariant codebooks, and gradient weights distribution! The growing size of models and datasets have made distributed implementation of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) an active field of research. However the high bandwidth cost of communicating...

We study Kantian equilibria (Roemer, 2010) of an n-player bargaining game, which is a modified version of the well-known divide the dollar game (Nash, 1953). We first show that the Kantian equilibrium (multiplicative version) exists under fairly minimal assumptions. Second, if the bankruptcy rule...

We develop a new permutation test for inference on a subvector of coefficients in linear models. The test is exact when the regressors and the error terms are independent. Then, we study its asymptotic properties under two main conditions. The first is the usual absence of correlation between the...

I analyze dynamic Mirrlees taxation with preferences that are non-separable between consumption, leisure and type, which determines both ability and consumption needs. I show how to account for non-separable preferences through a simple change in probability measures. I generalize the existing...
