The study of geometric extremes, where extremal dependence properties are inferred from the deterministic limiting shapes of scaled sample clouds, provides an exciting approach to modelling the extremes of multivariate data. These shapes, termed limit sets, link several popular extremal dependence...

This study revisits a critical juncture in the development of national health insurance (NHI) in the United States in the post-World War II era. We investigate the role of the American Medi- cal Association (AMA) which financed a campaign against NHI that was directed by the coun- try’s first...

We consider platform competition when platforms can either 1) commercialize users’ data and in return offer their services for free (data-based business model); 2) protect users’ data and charge users for participation (subscription-based model); or 3) offer both options (the hybrid model). We find...

Despite their recognized importance, the inherent opacity of intra-party institutions limits scholarly understanding of how parties share power internally. We advance knowledge in this area by studying how parties allocate list positions to different factions. We develop a theory of intra-party...

Inflation risk in U.S. data varies considerably over time and has often been asymmetric. A model incorporating time-varying asymmetric risk achieves better forecasting accuracy than a state-of-the-art symmetric model, providing results comparable to the performance of professional forecasters. The...

: Since Diamond and Dybvig (1983), banks have been viewed as inherently fragile. We challenge this view in a general mechanism design framework. Our approach allows for flexibility in the design of banking mechanisms while maintaining limited commitment of the intermediary to future mechanisms. We...

Consumers rely on recommendations of platforms when purchasing products. I examine a platform's decision to provide product recommendations which are informative of value-for-money. More informative recommendations have two effects: (i) a screening effect, where lower quality firms exit the...

Using comprehensive new contract level data (EMIR) for the period 2019-2023, we explore how the FX derivative trading by European funds compares to a feasible theoretical benchmark of optimal hedging. We find that hedging behavior by all fund types is often partial, unitary (i.e., with a single...
