Countries are increasingly turning to non-tariff barriers that are hard to measure and often illegal under WTO rules. What are the impacts of these policies, and what do they reveal about market power in international trade? We study a comprehensive system of discretionary import licenses imposed...

Machine learning methods perform well in prediction tasks within the range of the training data. These methods typically break down when interest is in (1) prediction in areas of the predictor space with few or no training observations; or (2) prediction of quantiles of the response that go beyond...

This paper provides a unified framework for partial identification of counterfactual parameters in a general class of discrete outcome models allowing for endogenous regressors and multidimensional latent variables, all without parametric distributional assumptions. Our main theoretical result is...

We provide evidence that bank loan supply reactions to monetary policy changes are market-specific, emphasizing the importance of banks’ local specialization. We analyze the U.S. mortgage market and find that, when monetary policy eases banks increase new mortgage lending growth more in markets in...

Between ca. 50,000 and 40,000 years ago, one of the most profound upheavals in the history of humanity occurred with the extinction of Neanderthals and the emergence of anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe. The main paradigm over the last 30 years characterized this process as a...

A seller decides whether to adopt a new technology that can lower his cost of production and then bargains with a buyer over the price of an object. Both players can build reputations for being obstinate in the bargaining process by oering the same price over time. We show that even when the buyer...

We develop an econometric framework to study merger efficiencies. Classification methods are employed to determine the sign of the merger's effect on output levels. Building on these classifications, and on familiar oligopoly theory results, we compute bounds on marginal cost savings. We apply this...

It is now plausible to envision scenarios in which global demand for crude oil falls to essentially zero by the end of this century, driven by a combination of improvements in clean energy technologies and adoption of increasingly stringent climate policies. This paper asks what such a demand...
