Uncertainty about the choice of identifying assumptions is common in causal studies, but is often ignored in empirical practice. This paper considers uncertainty over models that impose different identifying assumptions, which, in general, leads to a mix of point- and set-identified models. We...

We derive robust comparative statics for general rank-order tournaments with additive and multiplicative noise. For unimodal distributions of noise, we show that individual equilibrium effort is unimodal in the number of players when it is deterministic. For a stochastic number of players, the...

The effects of television advertising in the market for health insurance are of distinct interest to both firms and regulators. Regulators are concerned about firms potentially using ads to "cream skim," or attract an advantageous risk pool, as well as the potential for firms to use misinformation...

We study how competition among investors affects the efficiency of capital allocation and welfare. We develop a novel game of entry with rational inattention in which investors learn about their relative advantage compared to others in a fully flexible way. Competition leads to better, e.g. more...

Improved cookstoves allegedly deliver “triple wins” by improving health and environmental quality, and mitigating climate change. Yet recent research casts doubt on their potential for widespread diffusion. In the first multi-year experimental study to offer households a choice between multiple...

This paper documents the effect of peers’ incarceration on an individual’s criminal activity among small criminal groups. Starting with people convicted in the same case—and thus considered to be an established criminal group—I built a 48-month panel that records criminal status, imprisonment...

We consider an anonymous game with a continuum of players which takes into account congestion and interaction effects. This model was first developed by Beckmann (1976) in an urban equilibrium framework. We also consider a generalisation of this model to the case when agents are inhomogeneous and...

Firms sometimes comply with externality-correcting policies by gaming the measure that determines policy. We show theoretically that such gaming can benefit consumers, even when it induces them to make mistakes, because gaming leads to lower prices by reducing costs. We use our insights to quantify...
