Do higher wages lead to more automation innovation? To answer this question, we first introduce a new measure of automation by using the frequency of certain keywords in the text of patents to identify automation innovations in machinery. We validate our measure by showing that it is correlated...

This paper studies the design of monitoring policies in dynamic settings with moral hazard. The firm benefits from having a reputation for quality, and the principal can learn the firm's quality by conducting costly inspections. Monitoring plays two roles: An incentive role, because the outcome of...

This paper studies competition between firms when consumers observe a private signal of their preferences over products. Within the class of signal structures which allow pure-strategy Bertrand equilibria, we derive signal structures which are optimal for firms and those which are optimal for...

How does memory shape individuals’ financial decisions? We find experimental evidence of a self-serving memory bias. Subjects over-remember their own positive investment outcomes and under-remember negative ones. In contrast, subjects who did not invest but merely observed outcomes do not have this...

Dans cet exposé, nous présenterons un panorama des questions et résultats mathématiques classiques et récents concernant les “limites de champ moyen” et la "propagation du chaos" selon Kac. Nous nous intéresserons tout particulièrement aux modèles de type McKean-Vlasov et de type Boltzmann-Kac...

The paper considers a good for which conception determines two design dimensions: durability and the environmental quality during production. The theoretical model studies how design dimensions are impacted by the firm's ability to commit to future prices, and by an expected technological progress...

Social scientists have shown how easily individuals are moved to exclude outgroup members. Can we foster inclusion instead? This study leverages one of the most significant humanitarian crises of our time to test whether, and under what conditions, American citizens adopt more inclusionary behavior...
