Regression models have been developed for the case where the dependent variable is a vector of shares. Some of them, from the marketing literature, are easy to interpret but quite simple (Model A). Other models, from the compositional data analysis literature, allow a large complexity but their...

Technical standards, especially for telecommunications, are the foundation of the modern economy and play a fundamental role in everyday life. Their importance will only increase as we move into the age of the so-called "Internet of Things". In this presentation, we will discuss how modern telecom...

We develop a model of matching frictions in international good markets and study its implications for individual and aggregate trade flows. The model is an extension of the Eaton and Kortum (2002) framework to matching frictions. At the aggregate level, matching frictions have a monotonic and...

This paper studies inference on fixed effects in a linear regression model estimated from network data. An important special case of our setup is the two-way regression model, which is a workhorse method in the analysis of matched data sets. Networks are typically quite sparse and it is difficult...

We study robust decision making in sequential search. The searcher is unaware of the distribution of values of unexplored alternatives. Her decision rule should be dynamically robust, in the sense that it should perform close to Bayesian-optimal under any prior, at each point of time, and after...

We propose a theory of bank behaviour under capital requirements that accounts for both risk-shifting incentives and debt overhang considerations. A key result is that the bank’s lending response to an increase in the requirement need not be negative. The sign and the magnitude of the response...

This paper explores the mechanism behind election-year spending distortions. It develops a two-period model of electoral competition where politicians use current policies as pork barrel to signal their preferences to uninformed voters. There exists an equilibrium where pork barrel distortions...
