Economic theory makes ambiguous predictions about the effect on product quality of competition, in markets with assymetric information. I present a model that expresses firm incentives to sort users based on product quality in such markets, and relate it to primitives of the distribution of...

The prediction of multivariate outcomes in a linear regression setting with a large number of potential regressors is a common problem in macroeconomic and financial forecasting. We exploit that the frequently encountered problem of nearly collinear regressors can be addressed using standard...

De nombreux problèmes de traitement d'images, en médecine font intervenir des données issues d'une forme commune soumise à une variabilité géométrique et un bruit de mesure. Nous nous intéresserons dans cet exposé au cas le plus simple du modèle de courbe translatée aléatoirement et des estimations...

In many markets, ranging from markets for agricultural goods in developing countries to financial markets, goods flow via a sequence of intermediated trade before reaching final customers, information is asymmetric, and trading opportunities are incomplete. We study a dynamic model of bargaining in...

We present evidence that shared codes, beliefs, ethnicity --cultural proximity-- be- tween lenders and borrowers improves the efficiency of credit allocation. We identify in-group preferential treatment using dyadic data on the religion and caste of officers and borrowers from a bank in India, and...

Using recent waves of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), in which both schooling decisions and answers to numerous psychometric questions are available, we design an econometric model of the individual choice of entering higher education. In this model, we separate the effect of individual...

To what extent does partial ownership unilaterally lessen competition and decrease consumer surplus? This paper proposes an empirical structural methodology to quantitatively answer this question. Because partial acquisitions that do not result in effective control present competitive concerns...

We propose two system-based identification-robust methods for structural models including DSGEs that are valid whether identification is weak or strong, and whether identification is theory-intrinsic and/or data specific. The first one is a full-information method, which relies on restrictions...
