Stress Testing Structural Models of Unobserved Heterogeneity : Robust Inference on Optimal Nonlinear Pricing

Bodoh-Creed, Aaron L.; Hickman, Brent R.; List, John A.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

intensive-margin consumer demand, as well as a broad class of related adverse-selection models. Despite significant data … limitations, we are able to derive informative bounds on demand under counterfactual price changes. These bounds arise because … empirically plausible DGPs must respect the Law of Demand and the observed shift(s) in aggregate demand resulting from a known …

Using Divide-and-Conquer to Improve Tax Collection : Evidence from the Field

Del Carpio, Lucía; Kapon, Samuel; Chassang, Sylvain - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

In the context of collecting property taxes from 13432 households in a district of Lima (Peru), we investigate whether prioritized enforcement can improve the effective use of limited enforcement capacity. We randomly assign households to two treatment arms: one replicating the city's usual...

Policy Diffusion Through Elections

Shigeoka, Hitoshi; Watanabe, Yasutora - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Staggered difference-in-differences designs are pervasive in policy evaluations but little is known about the mechanisms of policy diffusion: How and why do such policies spread across jurisdictions? In this study, we highlight the role of elections in policy diffusion in settings where...

Designing Dynamic Reassignment Mechanisms : Evidence from GP Allocation

Huitfeldt, Ingrid; Marone, Victoria; Waldinger, Daniel C. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

Many centralized assignment systems seek to not only provide good matches for participants' current needs, but also to accommodate changes in preferences and circumstances. We study the problem of designing a dynamic reassignment mechanism in the context of Norway's system for allocating...

M&A and Technological Expansion

Jin, Ginger Zhe; Leccese, Mario; Wagman, Liad - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We examine how public firms listed in North American stock exchanges acquire technology companies during 2010-2020. Combining data from S&P, Refinitiv, Compustat, and CRSP, and utilizing a unique S&P taxonomy that classifies tech M&As by tech categories and business verticals, we show that 13.1%...

The elegant economic picture of rational consumers achieving Pareto optimality through trade in decentralized self-organized markets is blurred by market imperfections and choices inconsistent with consumer self-interest. Behavioral economics has documented these errors in choice, and considered...

Mean Reversion in Randomized Controlled Trials : Implications for Program Targeting and Heterogeneous Treatment Effects

Alsan, Marcella; Cawley, John H.; Doyle, Joseph J.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025

Eligibility criteria for interventions can induce an Ashenfelter Dip, and subsequent mean-reversion may result in improvement over time even absent the intervention. We investigate these dynamics for a food-as-medicine program to treat diabetes, where eligibility required elevated hemoglobin A1c...
