Sales of counterfeits in online marketplaces have received large attention from both press and policy makers in recent years. We study an online marketplace platform’s choice between restricting entry to brand owners only and allowing entry of imitators (including counterfeits), how that choice...

Detecting racial discrimination using observational data is challenging because of the presence of unobservables that may be correlated with race. Using data made public in the SFFA v. Harvardcase, we estimate discrimination in a setting where this concern is mitigated....

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...
