This paper develops an algorithm that enables to solve macroeconomic models with Rotemberg pricing and imperfect common … knowledge. Under the concept of imperfect common knowledge, Rotemberg pricing requires the solution algorithm to take prices … algorithm has to search for the policy function of the aggregate price and for the policy function of the firm-specific price …

Sophisticated collusive compensation schemes such as assigning future market shares or direct transfers are frequently observed in detected cartels. We show formally why these schemes are useful for dampening deviation incentives when colluding firms are temporary asymmetric. The relative...

We analyze the effects of better algorithmic demand forecasting on collusive profits. We show that the comparative statics crucially depend on the whether actions are observable. Thus, the optimal antitrust policy needs to take into account the institutional settings of the industry in question....

We run an online experiment to study the origins of algorithm aversion. Participants are either in the role of workers … in the role of a manager or by an algorithm. In a second set of experiments, managers choose whether they want to … delegate their hiring decisions to the algorithm. In the baseline treatments, we observe that workers choose the manager more …

We solve the non-linear income tax program for a rank-dependent social welfare function à la Yaari, expressing the trade-off between size and inequality using the Gini or related families of positional indices. The key idea is that when agents optimize and absent bunching, ranks in the actual...
