Accelerated investment in electricity transmission could reduce total costs and enhance renewable integration. I document static allocative inefficiencies induced by incomplete market integration in two major U.S. markets; these have risen over time and totaled $2 billion in 2022. I also argue that...

Small businesses in the US are frequently excluded from borrowing through traditional term loans or lines of credit and rely instead on highly standardized, high-interest rate business credit cards to meet their financing needs. Are rates high because this credit is costly to provide or because...

We analyze the economic consequences of rising US health care prices. By increasing the cost of employer-sponsored health insurance, rising prices serve as a de facto payroll tax on labor. Using exposure to hospital mergers as an instrument, we estimate that a 1% increase in health care prices...

Can social media help promote female access to political positions? Using data from 8,814 parliamentary races across 17 sub-Saharan African countries, we explore this question in a context of significant political underrepresentation of women and rising Facebook penetration over the past decade.

We employ the novel theory of heterogeneous extreme value statistics to accurately estimate the ultimate world records for the 100-m running race, for men and for women. For this aim we collected data from 1991 through 2023 from thousands of top athletes, using multiple fast times per athlete. We...

We analyze the impact of a national large-scale desegregation program, targeting a greater mixing of students from different social backgrounds in middle schools, on friendship networks. We compare students in sites covered by the desegregation program (“treatment” group) with students in “matched...

The exposure of firms and financial institutions to aggregate shocks is a key driver behind financial crises. This paper studies how idiosyncratic uninsurable labor income risk faced by lender households influences the concentration of aggregate risk on borrower entrepreneurs’ balance sheets. I...

Organisms continually modify their environments in ways that influence the fitness of conspecifics. Such environmentally mediated social behaviours can have lasting effects across generations through ecological inheritance. In this talk, I’ll review theoretical insights into how natural selection...
