We guide the reader through key statistical techniques for monitoring and forecasting macroeconomic risk. Moving beyond standard linear point forecasts, we demonstrate how to construct flexible conditional distributions of future GDP growth. We show that several methods can be leveraged to achieve...

We analyze the mechanism-design problem of a principal allocating amounts of a perfectly divisible good to n agents, each of whom desires as much of the good as possible. The principal has an ideal allocation for each agent, which is private information held by that agent. The principal has access...

Governments can shape market competition through targeted regulatory interventions, including firm or product bans. Such interventions not only restrict specific firms but may also generate spillover effects that alter demand and industry structure. We study the 2015 ban of Nestlé’s Maggi noodles...

We present a computational framework for deriving constrained Pareto optimal carbon tax rules within a stochastic overlapping generations (OLG) model. By integrating deep reinforcement learning, Deep Equilibrium Networks for fast policy evaluation, and Gaussian Process surrogate modelling with...

We study communication in dynamic contracting with limited commitment. A firm and a worker interact over time. The worker is privately informed about his productivity. In each period, the firm offers a menu of short-term contracts. The interaction between the firm and the worker continues provided...

We evaluate the economic forces that contribute to Google’s large market share in web search. We develop a model of search engine demand in which consumer choices are influenced by switching costs, quality beliefs, and inattention, and estimate it using a field experiment with US desktop internet...
