In this paper, we quantify the impact of co-workers’ human capital on a worker’s productivity and, more specifically, the spillovers of co-workers’ education within the workplace. We identify the impact of peer quality and provide an unambiguous decomposition of the impact of unobserved...

This paper shows how to recover behavioral biases from revealed preference rankings implied by choices. The approach is sufficiently flexible to account for many well-documented behavioral biases in the literature. I apply the model to workhorse datasets in the literature on choice under risk and...

This paper studies the Darwinian evolution of behavior governing strategic network formation. I propose a general framework of evolutionary selection in non-cooperative games played in heterogeneous groups. I derive notions of evolutionary stable strategies (ESS) and show connections between the...
