We construct a two-sided market model, in which consumers can only provide a noisy signal of the type of product they want. Each signal functions as a platform, to which (multi-homing) firms get access if they pay its competitive market price. A "broad match" function, designed ex-ante by the...

How does transparency, a key feature of central bank design, affect the deliberation of monetary policymakers? We exploit a natural experiment in the Federal Open Market Committee in 1993 together with computational linguistic models (particularly Latent Dirichlet Allocation) to measure the effect...

We inject aggregate uncertainty --risk and ambiguity -- into an otherwise standard business cycle model and describe its consequences. We find that increases in uncertainty generally reduce consumption, but they do not account, in this model, for either the magnitude or the persistence of the most...

We analyze the use of multiple antibiotics when producers have open access to a common pool of antibiotic treatment efficacy. Patients derive demand for each antibiotic given its price, additional recovery rate (intrinsic quality) and level of treatment efficacy. The market outcome is compared to...

Researchers and policy makers are often interested in estimating how treatments or policy interventions affect the outcomes of those most in need of help. This concern has motivated the increasingly common practice of disaggregating experimental data by groups constructed on the basis of an index...

In this talk I will give a review of nonparametric random coefficients models. We will start with the linear random coefficients model and discuss new topics such as the identification of such models when we want to allow for nonlinearities and regressors with limited variation. We will then...

How domestic costs of default do interact with the threat of exclusion from credit markets to determine interest rates and debt sustainability? In this paper, we address this question in the context of a stochastic general equilibrium model with lack of commitment and self-enforcing debt, where the...
