The evolution of antimicrobial resistant pathogens threatens much of modern medicine. For over one hundred years, the advice has been to `hit hard', in the belief that high doses of antimicrobials best contain resistance evolution. In this talk I will argue that nothing in evolutionary theory...

While absence of arbitrage in frictionless financial markets (i.e. without transaction costs) requires price processes to be semimartingales, non-semimartingales can be used to model prices in an arbitrage-free way, if proportional transaction costs are taken into account. In this talk, I will...

Motivation: Many transactions in economic life are preceded by social interactions. They are central, for example, to negotiations, mergers and acquisitions procedures, and often at the start of business, government, and personal negotiations. These interactions are an important part of the culture...

A large theoretical literature argues that legacies of non-democratic regimes can affect the quality of governance in new democracies. However, the empirical evidence is scarce. This paper exploits a natural experiment that took place in the Indonesian democratic transition: the Soeharto-regime...

Consider a privately informed seller who can propose any selling procedure to a single buyer. Both the seller's reservation value (cost) and the buyer's valuation can depend on the product characteristics and on the buyer's taste (interdependent values). Consumer taste is heterogeneous and product...

We derive non-asymptotic bounds for the minimax risk of variable selection under expected Hamming loss in the Gaussian mean model in Rd for classes of s-sparse vectors separated from 0 by a constant a > 0. In some cases, we get exact expressions for the nonasymptotic minimax risk as a function...

We show that Dif(ference), see Arellano and Bond (1991), Lev(el), see Arellano and Bover (1995) and Blundell and Bond (1998), or the N(on-)L(inear) moment conditions of Ahn and Schmidt (1995) do not separately identify the parameters of a first-order autoregressive panel data model when the...
