Traditional economic theory demonstrates how firms can sustain high prices and profits through repeated game strategies, but abstracts away from the bounded rationality of human managers. Behavioral models suggest that bounded rationality leads to biased mental models of competitor behavior,...

We study optimal nonlinear taxation of single and married households. Taxes on couples depend on the earnings of both spouses and are an example of multi-dimensional tax schedules. We develop novel analytical techniques to study properties of such taxes. We show that the optimal marginal taxes for...

We study the problem of a partisan gerrymanderer who assigns voters to equipopulous districts so as to maximize his party’s expected seat share. The designer faces both aggregate, district-level uncertainty (how many votes his party will receive) and idiosyncratic, voter-level uncertainty (which...

China’s rise in science has the potential to push forward the knowledge frontier, but mere production of knowledge does not guarantee that others are able to build on it. We ask whether chemistry research originating from China offers broad shoulders for follow-on scientists to stand on. We show...

This paper builds a structural model that investigates how the expansion of central bank reserves, induced by quantitative easing (QE), impacts bank lending and deposit-taking activities under the Basel III regulatory framework. We combine detailed French credit registry data and eurozone- level...

We examine how the air quality benefits of low emission zones (LEZ) are distributed across ethnic and income groups in Germany. We combine gridded data on resident characteristics with high-resolution estimates of fine particle (PM2.5) concentrations. On average, we find that LEZs reduced traffic-...

We study team incentives with positive spillovers and rewards based on ex-post credit for collective success. Compared to ex-ante efficient credit allocation, higher-ability or lower-cost agents are over-credited in equilibrium and, thus, over-motivated for team success when the spillover rate is...

Nonsmooth and nonconvex fractional programs are ubiquitous and also highly challenging. It includes the composite optimization problems studied extensively lately, and encompasses many important modern optimization problems arising from diverse areas such as the recent proposed scale invariant...

We collect a sample of 23 million parents-children matched pairs across 76 developing countries and 13,000 sub-national regions to explore the geography of intergenerational educational mobility in developing countries. First, we document large within-country variation in the degree of...
