In this forthcoming working paper we consider nonparametric estimation of density and conditional expectation functions for dyadic random variables, i.e., random variables defined for all pairs of individuals/nodes in a network of size N. These random variables are assumed to satisfy a “local...

We document a novel bidding pattern observed in procurement auctions from Japan: winning bids tend to be isolated. This bidding pattern is suspicious in the following sense: it is inconsistent with competitive behavior under arbitrary infor- mation structures. Building on this observation, we...

We explore the implications of ownership concentration for the recently-concluded incentive auction that re-purposed spectrum from broadcast TV to mobile broadband usage in the U.S. We document significant multi-license ownership of TV stations. We show that in the reverse auction, in which TV...

In this paper, we study how the regulator expands production possibilities of the economy by assigning a standard-essential status to patents. Firstly, we show that productivity-enhancing standards tend to adversely affect the endogenous economic growth. This is due to the pace of discovery of new...

Measures of inequality aversion and pure time preference are elicited in environmental domains using hypothetical decision tasks. Estimates are elicited using comparisons of inequalities across space and time, with gain/loss and past/present contextual framing. Inequality aversion is shown to...

Understanding how social information is used in human populations is one of the challenges in cultural evolution. Fine-grained individual-level data, detailing who learns from whom, would be most suited to answer this question empirically but this kind of data is difficult to obtain, especially in...

I examine a field experiment randomizing door-to-door tax collection across 431 neighborhoods of a Congolese city. I test the hypothesis that citizens will demand more inclusive governance when they are taxed. As predicted, the campaign increased political participation by 5 percentage points (28...
