An obstacle to using market mechanisms to allocate indivisible goods is the nonexistence of competitive equilibria (CE). To surmount this Arrow and Hahn proposed the notion of social-approximate equilibria: a price vector and corresponding excess demands that are ‘small’. We identify social...

We study a regulation in Chile that mandates warning labels on products whose sugar or calorie concentration exceeds certain thresholds. We document an overall decrease in sugar and calorie intake of 7-9%. To reveal mechanisms, we focus on breakfast cereal. On the demand side, consumers substitute...

This paper presents a parsimonious model in which a continuum of taxpayers face discrete income adjustment opportunities. The model predicts continuous observable income densities which match key features of empirical income histograms around kinks and notches in the tax schedule, including diffuse...
