This paper studies the effect of carbon pricing shocks on the macroeconomy using a highfrequency identification approach. Focusing on the European carbon market, I consider whether carbon policy announcements can be summarised by a single factor, or whether there are additional dimensions that need...

We study bank capital requirements as a tool to address financial risks and externalities caused by carbon emissions. Capital regulation can effectively address financial risks but doing so does not necessarily reduce emissions (e.g., higher capital requirements for carbon-intensive loans may crowd...

This paper studies the question of how to target aid after a natural disaster. Disaster aid programs often use property damage as a criterion for eligibility. A household’s ability to insure against shocks may be harder to observe but more important in determining how the disaster affects welfare....

In many settings, machine learning models are used in conjunction with a human decision maker. For example, consider a model used to make diagnoses in healthcare. Far from having the model operate autonomously, human clinicians may provide a second opinion on hard cases, use the predictions to...

We study the design of thresholds in pass/fail tests. The principal aims for the agent to pass when the agent's natural type (e.g. ability) is sufficiently high. However, the agent can manipulate the perceived natural type at a cost. Randomizing the passing threshold becomes optimal when the...

We study games in which several principals contract with several privately-informed agents. We show that enabling the principals to engage in contractible private disclosures by sending private signals to the agents about how the mechanisms will respond to the agents' messages-can significantly...

We develop a two-stage game in which competing airlines first choose the networks of markets to serve in the first stage before competing in price in the second stage. Spillovers in entry decisions across markets are allowed, which accrue on the demand, marginal cost, and fixed cost sides. We show...

Decisions about college are highly consequential, yet they are often made with poor information. This paper studies how information about college programs spreads through peer networks and affects application behavior using data from Ontario, Canada. We build and estimate a structural model of...

This paper quantifies the impact of a demand-side policy intervention on citizens’ willingness to pay for protection against misinformation. We find that individuals generally lack proficiency in identifying fake news and overestimate their ability to distinguish between accurate and false content...
