We study games between n information designers, each of whom can perform an experiment about a piece of information, the pieces being independent. They aim at persuading a decision maker to take their most preferred action. For such games with discontinuous payoffs, we show that there exists a...

This paper considers a quantile signal framework for first-price auction. Under the independent private value paradigm, a key stability property is that a linear specification for the private value conditional quantile function generates a linear specification for the bids one, from which it can be...

An evaluator tests an empirical hypothesis based on evidence provided by a researcher who is biased toward acceptance. The researcher constructs the sample by first collecting a pre-sample and then strategically selecting data for the sample. Selected data are not Blackwell comparable to random...

By how much does an extension of unemployment benefits affect macroeconomic outcomes such as unemployment? Answering this question is challenging because U.S. law extends benefits for states experiencing high unemployment. We use data revisions to decompose the variation in the duration of benefits...

Non-discretionary water consumption is an important component of the ag- gregate demand for water and in the determination of optimal water supply portfolios. To capture these features an intertemporal optimization model is de- veloped to generate an optimal water portfolio, which weights...

The talk initially introduces the notion of weak dependence (Doukhan & Louhichi (1999) which is an extension to Rosenblatt 1956's strong mixing definition. Mixing notions were extremely successful (see Doukhan 1994), anyway they do not cover all the reasonable time series to be considered in...

In order to identify the Average Treatment Effect (ATE) of a binary treatment on an outcome of interest, we need to impose, often implicitly, the so called Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption (SUTVA). In fact only under SUTVA we can observe at least one potential outcome for each individual. If...
