There are widespread differences in total factor productivity across producers in the U.S. and around the world. To help explain these variations, we devise a general test for misallocation in input choices – the underuse of effective inputs and overuse of ineffective ones. Misallocation implies...

In statistical learning, the distribution of the data can change between training and practical use-cases due to biases or distribution shifts. A remedy for this obstacle is to train a model on the worst distribution for the objective that is close to the data (in the sense of the Wasserstein...

In this paper, we use the results in Andrews and Cheng (2012), extended to allow for parameters to be near or at the boundary of the parameter space, to derive the asymptotic distributions of the two test statistics that are used in the two-step (testing) procedure proposed by Pedersen and Rahbek (...

Recent work in neuroscience and psychology has underscored the impact of visualizing future scenarios on decision making, via mental simulation, emotional amplification, and consolidation of memory. We show evidence of the path and importance of imagery-based decision making for the vital economic...

In this paper, we construct a hospital-level panel dataset covering the entire US hospital industry over the period 1996-2018. Using detailed hospital-level expenditure and revenue data, we measure hospital-level markups and document industry-wide increasing markups of about 18 percent. In addition...

We develop a structural model to represent individual transportation decisions, the equilibrium road traffic levels, and speeds inside a city. The model is micro-founded and incorporates a high level of heterogeneity: individuals differ in access to transportation modes, values of travel time, and...
