We study a fall in financing constraints for small businesses following the US Federal Quickpay reform of 2011 and estimate its effect on firm-level employment. The reform accelerated payments for a subset of small business contractors to the US government, leading to a large positive cash flow...

In a voluntary emissions-reductions system, regulators must evaluate and sign off on firms' claims of what they would have done absent credits. This paper uses the behavior of non-participants and rejected applicants to ex-post evaluate these claims. We focus on Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)...

We consider a multi-agent Bayesian persuasion problem where an in- formed sender tries to persuade a group of agents to adopt a certain product. The sender is allowed to commit to a signalling policy where she sends a private signal to every agent. The payoff to the sender is a function of the...

We develop and test a model of environmental regulation that integrates firm and regulator behavior to evaluate a voluntary certification program: the Mexican Clean Industry Program. Imposing structure on the costs of participation and compliance we first establish that plants with lower compliance...

Le score local est un outil probabiliste très utilisé par les biologistes pour comparer ou étudier les séquences d'acides aminés ou de nucléotides comme l'ADN. En modélisant le score local à l'aide d'une marche aléatoire et après normalisation, le processus à temps continu sous-jacent est le...

We study identification and estimation of a structural model of bargaining with optimism where players have heterogeneous beliefs about the final resolution of a dispute if they fail to reach an agreement. We show the distribution of the players’beliefs and the stochastic bargaining surplus are non...

In many economic contexts, agents from a same population team up to better exploit their human capital. In such contexts (often called \roommate matching problems"), stable matchings may fail to exist even when utility is transferable. We show that when each individual has a close substitute, a...
