Social networks are a key factor of success in life, but they are also strongly segmented on gender, ethnicity, and other demographic characteristics (Jackson 2010). We present novel evidence on an understudied source of homophily: behavioral traits. Behavioral traits are important determinants of...

Introduced by the Nobel-prize winner Lloyd Shapley in the 1950s, stochastic games are the first model of dynamic game to be ever defined. On the one hand, they extend Von Neumann's strategic-form games to dynamic situations; on the other, they extend the model of Markov chains and Markov decision...

Do people worried about their personal finances experience lower quality sleep? Using a regression discontinuity research design, we find that eligible household heads surveyed just after the disbursement of an unconditional cash transfer in Indonesia report a 0.3 standard deviation improvement in...

This paper studies linear time series regressions with many regressors. Weak exogeneity is the most commonly used identifying assumption in time series. Weak exogeneity requires that the structural error has zero expectation conditional on the current and past value of the regressors, but it...

We identify a shock that explains the bulk of fluctuations in equity risk premia, and show that the shock also explains a large fraction of the business-cycle comovements of output, consumption, employment, and investment. Recessions induced by the shock are associated with reallocation away from...

Game-theoretic models of cancer may help us to understand cancer and improve its treatment. There are many in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrating that cancer cells’ interactions impact their mutation/proliferation rates. However, measuring this impact is very difficult (and sometimes...

We study how regulating data usage impacts innovation in digital markets. Platforms commonly use proprietary data about third-party sellers to inform their own competing offerings, dampening incentives for innovation. We model this interaction and characterize how data usage restrictions reshape...

Market-based climate policy decentralizes abatement decisions via a carbon price, e.g. by establishing a permit market for CO2 emissions. Since CO2 emissions are often released jointly with conventional air pollutants, CO2 permit trades give rise to implicit trades of various co-pollutants. In...

Medical technologies can target care to patients identified through screening, raising questions of how broadly to screen for potential use. We explore this empirically in the context of a non-invasive prenatal screening, cfDNA, which is used to target a more costly invasive test that elevates...
