Empirical work suggests that government spending generates large expansions of output and consumption. Most representative-agent models predict a moderate expansion of output, and acrowding-out of consumption. We reconcile these findings by taking into account the distribution of taxes. Using US...

We study a search market where firms have a choice between offering either efficient, high quality (“candid”) products or inefficient, low quality (“deceptive”) products which some (“naive”) consumers misperceive as of high quality. We derive an equilibrium in which both business models co-exist...

Vertical rebates are prominently used across a wide range of industries. These con- tracts may induce greater retail effort, but may also prompt retailers to drop competing products. We study these offsetting e ciency and foreclosure effects empirically, using data from one retailer. Using a field...

We develop a discrete-continuous choice model to characterize the link between plan choice, switching frictions, and subsequent continuous choice of service utilization. We then test the model predictions by using a randomized controlled trial in electricity tariff choice. We find that both...

In this paper, I estimate the degree of organizational integration of merging firms and the intensity of industry competition in the ready-to-eat cereal industry. Using pre- and post-merger industry data surrounding the 1993 Post-Nabisco merger, I separate merging firms' intra-organizational...

Climate policy pushes energy-efficiency investments as a means to reduce energy consump- tion, and thus greenhouse gas emissions, in developing countries. I report the results of a large field experiment among energy-intensive Indian manufacturing plants that offered information and skilled labor...
