In macroeconomic models with dispersed information, agents have an incentive to learn from endogenous variables, requiring them to forecast the forecasts of others. This paper revisits the model of Townsend (1983) to characterize how this mechanism affects the equilibrium dynamics. The first part...

Incentivizing the acquisition and aggregation of information is a key task of the modern economy (e.g., financial markets). We study the design of optimal mechanisms for this task. A population of rationally inattentive (RI) agents can flexibly learn about a common state of nature, subject to...

We study social coordination among agents in a two-layer network. Using the tools of global game selection, we develop an algorithm that partitions the network into communities within which agents have the same propensity to choose the same network. We demonstrate how the topology of both...

With forecasted increases in heavy precipitation and associated flooding, there is a need to understand the economic impacts of flood events. Even if there is extensive research on the impacts of coastal floods, we cannot directly extrapolate these findings to inland flooding given different...

We develop a general equilibrium model featuring heterogeneous households, nominal rigidities, and limits to arbitrage due to segmentation in long-term bond markets. While conventional policy alone can stabilize aggregate fluctuations, the presence of market segmentation implies that such a policy...

Morality plays a critical role both in our own sense of identity and how we form impressions and trust others. Traditionally, work in psychology has focused how trust is influenced by whether someone is moral. In this talk I will present some of my work over the last years showing how trust is not...

Public programs often delegate spending decisions to agents with private incentives to overspend. One way to mitigate this is to institute a quantity limit prohibiting or restricting spending above a cap. This paper considers the efficacy of using quantity limits for health care in the context of a...

This talk will propose a quick overview of Compass Lexecon and of the types of cases in which consultants and experts are involved. The presentation will then focus on a specific merger case recently reviewed by the European Commission to illustrate the investigation’s process and examples of...
