We develop a theory of monotone comparative statics based on weak set order, or in short weak monotone comparative statics, and identify the enabling conditions in the context of individual choices, Pareto optimal choices for a coalition of agents, and Nash equilibria of games. Compared with the...

We propose a model of data intermediation to analyze the incentives for sharing individual data in the presence of informational externalities. A data intermediary acquires signals from individual consumers regarding their preferences. The intermediary resells the information in a product market...

Managing public portfolios is a crucial policy issue that concerns economists, policymakers, and the general public. However, existing literature on debt management offers little practical guidance on the types of securities it should issue and the frequency with which a government should rebalance...

As illicit substances move into legal product space, substitution patterns with legal products become more salient. In particular, marijuana legalization may have implications for use of other "sin" goods, such as alcohol and cigarettes. We focus on a young person's choice to consume marijuana,...

When present-biased borrowers have the option to default on their liabilities, we establish that they undervalue their default option by a U-shaped error. The biased beliefs gives rise to pseudo-wealth that explains why borrowers take excessive leverage, imperfectly smooth consumption, underinvest...

One of the most profound changes in the industrial landscape in the last decade has been the growth of business ecosystems- groups of connected firms, drawing on (digital) platforms which leverage their complementors and lock-in their customers, exploiting the “bottlenecks” that emerge in new...

Do campaign promises matter? We combine a structural model and a large-scale field experiment disseminating candidate policy platforms in Philippine mayoral elections to show how voters respond to campaign promises. Voters who randomly received information about current campaign promises are more...

Paper 1 - We study identification of time preferences in environments where an agent first makes an advance commitment, and later can revise her choices. A frequently-discussed empirical finding in such environments---often interpreted as evidence of time inconsistency---is that on average, agents...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can be viewed as nonlinear sieves. In general, nonlinear sieves (including ANNs) can approximate unknown nonlinear functions of high dimensional variables more effectively than linear sieves, but are computationally more demanding. In this talk, I present three...
