We investigate the relationship between market structure and platforms'incentives to adopt technological innovations in two-sided markets, where platforms may find it optimal to charge zero price on the consumer side and to extract surplus on the advertising side. We consider innovations that...

We estimate the distribution of marginal propensities to consume (MPCs) using a novel clustering approach that generalizes the fuzzy C-means algorithm to regression settings. We apply the estimator to the 2008 stimulus payments, exploiting the ran- domized timing of disbursements, and find...

We study a search market in the spirit of Diamond (1971) in which some (naive) consumers have biased beliefs about what the market supplies which only partially reflect the true market conditions. Specifically, a belief function specifies for any (true) distribution of utility offers in the market...

Climate policy often implies increasing electricity costs. Due to incomplete regulation across the globe, concerns about employment effects play an important role in the policy debate. Using micro data on network charges and the official plant census data for Germany we study the impact of rising...

We derive the revenue maximizing mechanism for a risk-neutral seller who faces Yaari's [1987] dual risk-averse bidders. The optimal mechanism oers \full- insurance" in the sense that each agent's utility is independent of other agents' reports. The seller excludes less types than under risk...

Standard tests and confidence sets in the moment inequality literature are not robust to model misspecification in the sense that they exhibit spurious precision when the identified set is empty.This paper introduces tests and confidence sets that provide correct asymptotic inference for a pseudo-...
