We provide evidence on the stories that people tell to explain a historically notable rise in inflation with a representative sample of the U.S. population, U.S. managers, and experts. We document substantial heterogeneity in narratives about the drivers of higher inflation rates. Experts put more...

We use public goods games to study farmers’ willingness to cooperate in the context of agri-environmental schemes in Germany. In a workshop with stakeholders, four treatments of a linear public goods game were co-designed, addressing the role of (1) heterogeneous endowments, (2) leading-by-example...

This paper studies the optimal design of rules in a dynamic model when there is a time inconsistency problem and uncertainty about whether the policy maker can commit to follow the rule ex post. The policy maker can either be a commitment type, which can always commit to follow rules, or an...

The Frank-Wolfe algorithm is a simple projection-free algorithm for constrained optimization, and it has been successfully applied to a variety of real-world problems. Its main drawback however lies in its speed of convergence, which can be excessively slow due to naive descent directions. In this...

We study inference in complete information games with discrete strategy spaces. Unlike binary games, we allow for rich strategy spaces and we only assume that they are ordinal in nature. We derive observable implications of equilibrium play under mild shape restrictions on payoff functions, and we...

Supply chain disturbances can lead to important increases in production costs. When looking for new suppliers, firms therefore worry about the risks associated with potential trading partners. We investigate the impact of beliefs and uncertainty on the structure of the production network and,...
