We use a novel survey approach with hypothetical vignettes to analyze firms' investment sensitivity to interest rates, allowing us to causally identify firms' investment adjustments in response to various changes in lending rates. In a large survey of German firms, we find a semi-elasticity of...

Gradient descent flows in a space of probability measures can appear either directly in optimisation problems (where one wants to minimise some functional depending on probability measures, as in variational inference), or as an interpretation of some interacting particles models (for which the...

Preventive repression is most effective when it is invisible. Yet contemporary autocrats often publicize their attempts, and failure, to prevent dissent. This work develops and tests a theory of how publicized preventive repression aids autocracies. I propose that autocrats’ decision to publicize...

We consider auctions where buyers can acquire costly information about their valuations and those of others, and investigate how competition between buyers shapes their learning incentives. In equilibrium, buyers find it cost-efficient to acquire some information about their competitors so as to...

The benefit that consumers derive from experience goods depends on how well they understand attributes of the choice set prior to purchase, and pre-purchase ignorance can lead to inefficient purchases. Using novel data on individual ownership and post-purchase usage of video games, we explore both...

We study how ESG investing reshapes information aggregation by prices. We document that the information content of asset prices changes with ESG investing. We then develop a rational expectations equilibrium model in which traditional and green investors are informed about financial and ESG...

In the seventies, Frank Spitzer introduced interacting particle systems to the mathematics community. These systems consist of particles evolving randomly according to Markovian dynamics that conserve certain quantities. Interacting particle systems were already known in the physics and biophysics...
