Published claims should be reproducible, yielding the same result when the same analysis is applied to the same data1,2. Here we assess reproducibility in a stratified random sample of 600 papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 62 journals spanning the social and behavioural sciences. The authors of...

This chapter discusses the current state of development of robust measures for evaluating firms’ production performance, focusing on two prominent approaches: (i) partial order-m frontiers and related efficiency scores based on probability-weighted moments, and (ii) their competing order-α...

In this paper, we review recent studies on the impact of mergers on investments. We begin by examining how mergers among competing incumbents inf luence firms’ incentives to develop new products and undertake cost-reducing or quality-enhancing investment. We then analyze how an incumbent’s...

Despite the growing importance of the digital sector, research on economic complexity and its implications continues to rely mostly on administrative records—e.g. data on exports, patents, and employment—that have blind spots when it comes to the digital economy. In this paper we use data on the...

This paper evaluates the long-run economic effects of a fiscal rebalancing reform, namely a policy consisting in increasing consumption taxes and simultaneously lowering payroll taxes, all this in a budget neutral way. To this end, we construct a heterogeneous-agent model and compare the pre- and...

We prove the existence of a Markov-perfect equilibrium in randomized stopping times for a model of the war of attrition in which the underlying state variable follows a homogenous linear diffusion. We first prove that the space of Markovian randomized stopping times can be topologized as a compact...

This paper studies the effect of media market competition on confirmatory bias, the tendency to confirm common priors to appear competent, while accounting for both single- and multi-homing. It finds that competition helps sustain informative reporting when priors are relatively precise, but has...

We study environmental policy in imperfectly competitive markets where firms differ in their objectives. Alongside standard profit-maximizing firms, we consider welfareoriented firms that partially or fully internalize environmental externalities but are subject to financial viability constraints....

We study the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation posed on possibly unbounded domains, including some singular and saturated nonlinear damping terms. This model interpolates between the nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation and dissipative parabolic dynamics through a complex timederivative prefactor,...

We present a stylized model of three entrepreneurial financing methods based on two tradeoffs. First, token financing and crowdfunding reveal consumer-investors’ demand for the product prior to investment, but upfront purchase weakens the entrepreneur’s incentive to deliver. Second, token financing...
