Scarcity of inputs creates an entry barrier. An efficient allocation of scarce inputs may hinder competition by inadvertently rewarding downstream market power. In the airline industry, at congested airports the number of landing slots is fixed. This creates a trade-off between more competition in...

This paper studies how competition for skilled workers affects workers compensation structure. Compensation structure below executive level matters, because it affects firms financing needs and the risk of worker runs (workers leaving because others are leaving). Yet individual workers only...

Peer comparisons combine descriptive and injunctive social norm messages to signal appropriate behavior and induce behavioral change. Studies show that peer comparisons encourage pro-environmental consumer behavior in contexts such as energy use, water use, and recycling. However, mechanisms...

Contraceptive discontinuation is a major barrier to reducing global unmet needs for family planning, but the reasons why women discontinue contraception are poorly understood. Here we use data from Ethiopia to investigate (i) the magnitude of contraceptive discontinuation in 2005–2011, (ii) how the...

We measure the direct and indirect effects of access to finance using a randomized experiment with 3,100 firms in 78 local markets in China, which created variation in firms’ access to a new loan product both within and across markets. Our estimates imply that: (1) Financial access has large...

This paper studies collusion via certified sharing of information in the context of mechanism design. The model of collusion builds on Aumann’s (1976) description of knowledge. A cartel can agree to collude on a contract if it is common knowledge within the cartel that the contract is incentive...

One of the defining characteristics of (large) online platforms is the heavy reliance on algorithmic techniques (machine learning, network algorithms, etc.) for tasks like search, recommendation, and matching. These techniques pose a number of problems to both researchers and regulators interested...
