We provide a new measure of automation based on patent texts and study its impact on employment. Classifying all 5 million U.S. patents granted between 1976 and 2014 as automation or non-automation patents, we document a rise in the share of automation patents from 25 percent to 67 percent. We link...

We study the strategic impact of players' higher order uncertainty over whether their actions are observable to their opponents. We characterize the predictions of Rationality and Common Belief in Rationality (RCBR) which are `robust' in the sense that they do not depend on the restrictions on...

This paper models social media platforms that have proprietary information about their users and sell targeted ad space to producers. Producers, who can be incumbents or entrants, compete for the attention of final consumers. The paper characterizes equilibrium producer entry and consumer welfare...

Inspired by fertilizer use, we investigate behavior in settings where externalities arise from individual activities crossing an uncertain individual threshold. We show within an analytic model that only threshold uncertainty causes individual and social interests to diverge with individuals...

We analyze the redistributional (dis)advantages of a minimum wage over income taxation in competitive labor markets without imposing assumptions on the (in)efficiency of labor rationing. Compared to a distributionally equivalent tax change, a minimum-wage increase raises involuntary unemployment,...

We estimate food waste at the individual household level indirectly using a stochastic production frontier approach. The estimated average percentage of waste is about 30%-32%. In addition to a baseline model, we also develop a second model that tackle the issue of missing information on physical...

On essayera de montrer que de nombreux problèmes de statistiques nécessitent de dépasser le cadre Euclidien (Tomographie, Astrophysique ..). Dans cet exposé on se propose de montrer que l'on peut récupérer beaucoup de résultats obtenues grâce à l'analyse de Fourier, si l'on travaille sur un espace...
