The growing influence of internet platforms acting as content aggregators is one of the most important challenges facing the media industry. We develop a simple model to understand the impact of content bundling by a social platform. In our model consumers can access news either directly through a...

We revisit the group size paradox in a simple model where two groups of different sizes compete for a prize exhibiting a varying degree of rivalry and where group effort is given by a CES function of individual efforts. We show that the larger group can be more successful than the smaller group if...

Nowadays, a common practice to forecast integrated variance is to do simple OLS auto-regressions of the observed realized variance data. However, non-parametric estimates of the tail index of this realized variance process reveal that its second moment is possibly unbounded. In this case, the...

The fraction of women in economics has grown significantly over the last forty years. In spite of this, the differences in research output between men and women are large and persistent. These output differences are related to differences in the co-authorship networks of men and women: women have...

We study the implications of consumer switching costs on prices when price adjustments are costly. We develop a dynamic pricing model in a multiproduct oligopoly setting, in which consumers exhibit inertia in their choices and firms face costly price adjustments. Motivated by the empirical...
