This talk will present theoretical insights and empirical results from the book Repression in the Digital Age. It will examine why and how governments employ various forms of cyber controls, such as censorship and surveillance to inform their strategies of violent repression. The book presents...

We study monetary policy where the price and wage Phillips curves exhibit true curvature. To this end, we propose a New Keynesian (NK) model featuring endogenous adjustment of price and wage setting frequencies, moving beyond the quasi-linear structure of the standard nonlinear NK Phillips curves (...

We develop a framework to study how interoperability between competing platforms shapes equilibrium prices and welfare. Our analysis considers two dimensions: interoperability strength—the extent to which network benefits spill over across platform users—and interoperability configuration—whether...

Price freezes on essential energy commodities are widely used to curb inflation expectations and protect low-income households from price volatility. Yet these interventions often become persistent subsidies that distort markets and hinder climate policy goals. We study this dynamic by analyzing...

The relationship between competition and innovation is difficult to disentangle, as exogenous variation in market structure is rare. The 1952 breakup of Germany’s leading chemical company, IG Farben, represents such a disruption. After the Second World War, the Allies occupying Germany imposed the...

As platforms collect more user data, they can tailor algorithms to better match users. At the same time, on matching platforms, users pay to be matched by the platform, while the platform makes money as long as it does not match them. This paper analyzes the matching rule of a profit-maximizing...

In this talk we introduce the semi-discrete optimal transport (OT) problem with entropic regularization. We characterize the solution using a governing, well-posed ordinary differential equation (ODE). This naturally yields an algorithm to solve the problem numerically, which turns out to be...

We document pervasive frictions in news consumption on social media, and test interventions designed to address them through a large field experiment on Facebook. We find that a simple, platform-integrated interface prompting active choice significantly and persistently reduces the partisan slant...
