How much can policymakers improve macroeconomic outcomes by encouraging the entry of high-performance startups? We construct a novel and comprehensive data set on almost 1.5 million startup firms in ten European countries. We then apply cluster analysis to identify distinct startup types and trace...

Should platforms be held liable for the harms suered by users? A two- sided platform enables interactions between rms and users. There are two types of rm: harmful and safe. Harmful rms impose larger costs on the users. If rms have deep pockets then platform liability is unnecessary. Holding the...

Many products sold on online platforms have additional features. Platforms can deliberately shroud these features from consumers, e.g. by revealing them only late in the purchase process. For example, platforms often reveal shipping- and handling fees, or upgrades like luggage or hotel services...

We study the effects of climate change on labor and capital reallocation across regions, sectorsand firms. We use newly digitized administrative reports on extreme weather events occurredin Brazil during the last two decades and a meteorological measure of excess dryness relativeto historical...

Every smooth, convex and bounded from below function can be determined (up to a constant) by the norm of its derivative. We show that this determination property can be extended to the class of continuous, coercive functions in compact metric spaces. Joint work with: David Salas (UOH, Chile)

Distribution of goods often involves multiple intermediaries sequentially buying and reselling. We show that multi-intermediary chains arise in response to internal economies of scale in trade costs, and that this can account for patterns in firm size and prices we document in original data on...

We provide asymptotic approximations to the distribution of statistics that are obtained from network data for limiting sequences that let the number of nodes (agents) in the network grow large. Network formation is permitted to be strategic in that agents’incentives for link formation may depend...
