Exploiting a major food safety crisis, we estimate a full demand model for the unsafe product and its substitutes and recover consumers' preference parameters. Counterfactual exercises quantify the relevance of different mechanisms---changes in safety perceptions, idiosyncratic tastes, product...

I present a deep learning method for optimal stopping problems which directly learns the optimal stopping rule from Monte Carlo samples. As such, it is broadly applicable in situations where the underlying randomness can efficiently be simulated. The approach is tested on three problems: the...

We quantify the misallocation of women’s talent by combining differences in FLFP with personnel data of a large MNE. The firm employs over 60K people over 100 countries.We estimate the parameters of the firm’s wage policy and back out the implied ability by gender as well as the benefit of staying...

Each year, more than two million U.S. households have an eviction case filed against them, and local governments are increasingly pursuing policies to reduce the number of evictions. We study the consequences of eviction using newly linked administrative data from two major cities. We document that...
