What are the origins and consequences of the state as a provider of public goods? We study institutional changes that increased state capacity and public goods provision in German cities during the 1500s, including the establishment of mass public education. We document that cities that...

We consider a class of games with continuum of players where equilibria can be obtained by the minimization of a certain functional related to optimal transport as emphasized in [7]. We then use the powerful entropic regularization technique to approximate the problem and solve it numerically in...

This paper investigates how consumers react to product safety threats when there are no close substitutes for the unsafe product. Our main goal is to study the total costs of the crisis to consumers including the utility losses associated with substituting away from their favorite products, and to...

The provision of global public goods, such as climate change mitigation and managing fisheries to avoid overharvesting, requires the coordination of national contributions. The contributions are managed by elected governments who, in turn, are subject to public pressure on the matter. In an...

In this paper I propose a model of the evolution of the world distribution of population and productivity from 1000 years ago until today. Taking agricultural potential and basic geographic features as inputs, this model makes predictions for population, sector shares of employment and output,...

We consider the problem of Laplace deconvolution with noisy discrete non-equally spaced observations on a finite time interval. We propose a new method for Laplace deconvolution which is based on expansions of the convolution kernel, the unknown function and the observed signal over a Laguerre...

Financial markets expose individuals to the broader economy. Does participation in financial markets also lead citizens to re-evaluate the costs of conflict, their views on politics and even their voting decisions? Prior to the 2015 Israeli elections, we randomly assigned financial assets from...

In this talk, I will first describe some problems in large population stochastic control (e.g. Mean-Field Games). The solution to these problems are characterised by a master equation, as observed by Lasry-Lions, which is a PDE written on the Wasserstein space of probability measures. I will then...
