We examine the economies of density associated with the expansion of Amazon's distribution network from 1999 to 2018. We demonstrate that, in placing a fulfillment center in a new state, Amazon faces a trade-off between the revenue implications of exposing local customers to sales tax on their...

Energy efficiency labels are intended to better inform consumers at the point of sale about unobservable product characteristics. The EU Energy Label is globally one of the largest labeling schemes and obligates manufacturers of white goods to self-certify the efficiency class into which the energy...

Biases in decision making are ubiquitous and have been documented through extensive experimental research. Field studies have replicated many of those biases, and sometimes find that bias decreases with relevant task-specific experience. It remains an open question, however, whether such debiasing...

We present two experimental studies, one with university students in a controlled laboratory environment (n = 200) and one with a nationally representative sample (n = 1,000), where consumers were asked to make real purchases within an online supermarket platform. The studies captured the effect of...

No state can successfully execute its functions without a reliable way of monitoring rule compliance. E ective public audits are therefore a key foundation of state capacity. Economists have usually considered audits as neutral tools of information extraction. We look into the black box of the...

We propose and investigate a market model for power prices, including most basic features exhibited by previous models and taking into account self-exciting properties. The model proposed extends Hawkes-type models by introducing a two-fold integral representation property. A Random Field approach...

I study a regression model in which one covariate is an unknown function of a latent driver of link formation in a network. Rather than specify and fit a parametric network formation model, I introduce a new method based on matching pairs of agents with similar columns of the squared adjacency...

We study a class of games where stores source unobservable inventories in advance, and then simultaneously set prices. Our framework allows for firm asymmetries, heterogeneous consumer tastes, endogenous consumer information through advertising, and salvage values for unsold units. The payoff...
