Procurement auctions have been successfully applied in a variety of settings. We study optimal procurement mechanisms for a buyer with a fixed budget that wishes to purchase units of a homogeneous good, up to a maximum demand amount, from symmetric suppliers with privately known constant marginal...

We introduce a new approach to bargaining, with both axiomatic and strategic foundations, into models of decentralized asset market. Gradual bargaining, which assumes that portfolios of assets are sold sequentially, one unit of asset at a time, has strong normative justifications: it increases the...

The problem of variable clustering is that of grouping similar components of a $p$-dimensional vector $X = (X_1 , \ldots , X_p)$, and estimating these groups from $n$ independent copies of $X$. Although K-means is a natural strategy for this problem, I will explain why it cannot lead to perfect...

This paper demonstrates that the establishment of well-functioning water markets may substantially mitigate the costs of drought. We develop a framework to model the costs of incomplete water regulation, and simulate the efficiency gains from water trading across the agricultural and urban sectors...

A principal specifies time paths of knowledge transfer, effort provision, and task allocation for a cash-constrained apprentice, who is free to walk away at any time. In the optimal contract the apprentice pays for training by working for low or no wages and by working inefficiently hard. The...
