"We present a model of endogenous schooling and earnings to isolate the causal effect of parents’ education on children’s education and earnings outcomes. The model delivers a positive relationship between parents’ education and children’s earnings and an ambiguous relationship with children’s...

We consider a model where investors can invest directly or search for an asset manager, information about assets is costly, and managers charge an endogenous fee. In equilibrium, the efficiency of asset prices is linked to the efficiency of the asset management market: (1) if investors can find...

Climate physics predicts that the intensity of natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change. We present a stochastic model of a growing economy where natural disasters are multiple and random, with damages driven by the economy's polluting activity. We provide a closed-form...

An important debate centers on what procedure should be used to allocate students across public schools. We contribute to this debate by developing and estimating a model of school choices by households under one of the most popular procedures known as the Boston mechanism (BM). We recover the...

This paper investigates the impact of the 1985 Turkish Immunization Campaign, a nationwide campaign which vaccinated children from 0 to 60 months against measles, polio, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis on health and human capital. Using reconstructed data on the baseline prevalence of vaccine...

This talk addresses tuning parameter choice and higher-order refinements in nonparametric and semiparametric inference. In the first part, we study the effects of bias correction on confidence interval coverage for nonparametric kernel density and local polynomial regression estimation. We show...

Low-rank matrix estimation plays a key role in many scientific and engineering tasks including collaborative filtering and image denoising. Low-rank procedures are often motivated by the statistical model where we observe a noisy matrix drawn from some distribution with expectation assumed to have...

In several countries, teachers' assignment to schools is managed by a central administration. One of the objectives of the reassignment process is to make sure that teachers obtain an assignment which they weakly prefer to their current position. The Deferred-Acceptance mechanism (DA) proposed Gale...
