We examine team diversity and performance using the asset management industry as a laboratory. Employing political aliation as a proxy, we nd ideologically diverse teams perform better than homogeneous teams. The mechanism involves both improved decision-making due to more diverse perspectives and...

Environmental labelling has substantially reduced environmental impacts in multiple sectors of the economy. While many think of labelling as a tool to change consumer behaviour, its major successes have been changing producer behaviour and supporting effective policy. However, in food, a sector...

This paper shows that the two oil shocks that occurred in 1974-85 and 2003-15 inflicted sizable damage to total factor productivity (TFP) in France and Germany. These are resource-poor economies whose firms are importing most of their inputs of extractive commodities. The real prices they pay for...

In this talk, we consider different two-time-scale stochastic approximation algorithms for quantile and superquantile estimation.We study the asymptotic behavior of these algorithms (almost sure convergence, quadratic strong law and law of iterated logarithm, TCL). We also derive non-asymptotic...

We consider a standard persuasion problem in which the receiver's action and the state of the world are both one-dimensional. Fully characterizing optimal signals when utilities are non-linear is a daunting task. Instead, we develop a general approach to understanding a key qualitative property of...

We propose a novel approximate fixed effects (AFE) estimator that employs interpolation in the computation of its criterion function. This feature greatly reduces the number of times the underlying economic model needs to be solved. In the case of dynamic programming models this can reduce the...

Platforms such as Yelp and TripAdvisor aggregate crowd-sourced information aboutusers’ experiences with products and services. We analyze their impact on the hotelindustry using a panel of hotel prices, sales and reviews from five US states over a10-year period from 2005-2014. Both hotel demand and...

We develop a framework to theoretically and empirically analyze the fluctuations of the aggregate stock market. Households allocate capital to institutions, which are fairly constrained, for example operating with a mandate to maintain a fixed equity share or with moderate scope for variation. As a...
