This paper explores how parents in Rajasthan, India decide how long to keep a daughter in school and when, and to who, to get her married. We develop a dynamic model of parental decision making in which parents take schooling and marriage decisions under uncertainty about the future marriage offers...

This paper studies how central banks' asset purchases (APs) of nominal public debt affect perceived default-inflation risks when investors learn from market prices. We design a stylised model of monetary-fiscal interactions where taxes are distortionary and risk-neutral investors trade bonds...

We derive the optimal selling mechanism for a seller who offers differentiated products located at opposite ends of the Hotelling line, subject to the agents' incentive compatibility and individual rationality constraints. The agents have linear transportation costs and private information about...

We estimate the potential to abate emissions of carbon dioxide through a large scale build out of nuclear energy. On the 6th of March 1974, Pierre Messmer, then Prime Minister of France, announced an ambitious nuclear energy program that became known as the ”Messmer Plan”. The plan aimed to...

Using data from Swedish administrative registries, we identify business angels, i.e. individuals repeatedly financing start-ups, and characterize who among the general population eventually becomes a business angel. Angels are overwhelmingly drawn from the top 1% of the wealth distribution and are...

A group of principals collectively and dynamically screens an agent. The principals hold heterogeneous and evolving values from the relationship. At each date, they use a collective decision rule to determine a joint offer to the agent; the principals may also amend the procedures governing how...

This talk is about the existence of meaningful Nash equilibrium in an idealized mathematical setting of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). The first part introduces GANs from the perspective of likelihood-free density estimation in statistics, and gives an overview of the associated 2-player...

A recent literature considers causal inference using two vectors of noisy proxies for unobserved confounding factors. In this paper we consider linear models in which the vectors of proxies are potentially high-dimensional and there may be many unobserved confounders. A key insight is that if each...
