In many animal species, individuals acquire knowledge from others that enhances their survival and reproduction. However, among the many available exemplars, not all provide reliable information. Consequently, individuals tend to choose their exemplars selectively. One widespread pattern is a...

"Et si, grâce aux mathématiques, nous repensions la façon dont nous votons ? Etudier les modes de scrutin d'un point de vue mathématique permet de décrire des propriétés que ceux-ci devraient respecter. Cependant, un théorème important établi par l'économiste américain K. Arrow (Prix Nobel d'...

We conduct a meta-analysis of 82 randomized controlled trials across more than 20 countries to estimate the effects of interventions that provide instruction or information to parents about their child's education. These interventions are highly scalable in that they are low cost and delivered...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as agents in high-stakes domains like healthcare where optimal actions depend on both uncertainty about the world and the utilities of different outcomes. However, their decision logic is difficult to interpret. We study whether LLMs act like...

We present a novel approach to causal identification and estimation with large N and T panel data without external instruments. Existing approaches aim to extract and purge individual and/or period-specific factors from the outcomes and continuous treatments. They assume that the remaining...

We study how regulation and supervision interact to affect bank risk. Exploiting the 2018-2019 U.S. bank deregulation, we show that mid-sized banks subject to relaxed liquidity requirements experienced a deterioration in liquidity. At the same time, using confidential data from the Federal Reserve...

We examine liquidity of corporate debt and capital structure of the firm run by inefficient management in the presence of a distressed investor in the secondary debt market. In addition to having superior information about the firm’s future cash flows, the distressed investor can install a more...

This paper examines how over-the-counter drug labels influence consumer perceptions of efficacy, distort decision-making, and shape equilibrium outcomes under counterfactual regulatory scenarios. It addresses a key identification challenge—the unobservability of perceived efficacy under different...
