In this paper we consider regression models with centred errors, independent of the covariates. Given independent and identically distributed data and given an estimator of the regression function, which can be parametric or nonparametric in nature, we estimate the distribution of the error term by...

Review systems are one of the key ingredients in the success of digital platforms. They ensure the quality of the services provided in the platforms and discipline users' behavior.

We develop a property-rights model of endogenous market structure in which contracting imperfections, rather than scale economies emerge as the source of market power. Production of a homogenous good is carried out by substitutable, incentive-constrained teams that can stand alone as perfect...

Resilience has been an increasingly important topic in many social sciences and policy circles but, as of now, there does not seem to be much literature on its theoretical foundations.
