This paper exploits hand-collected data on illegal insider trades to provide new evidence of the ability of standard measures of illiquidity to detect informed trading. Controlling for unobserved cross-sectional and time-series variation, sampling bias, and strategic timing of insider trades, I...

I find that firm learning increases relative expected earnings in high-ability jobs and, thereby, enhances imitation … priori. Numerical results show that firm learning does not increase labor market efficiency. …

Over time, inspection agencies gather information about firms that cause harmful externalities. This information may allow agencies to differentiate their monitoring strategies in the future, since inspections can be influenced by firms' past performance relative to other competitors in the...

We study market dynamics when an owner learns over time about the quality of her asset. Since this information is private, the owner sells strategically to a less informed buyer following sufficient negative information. In response, market prices feature a "U-shape" relative to the length of...

How should an agent (the sender) observing multi-dimensional data (the state vector) persuade another agent to take the desired action? We show that it is always optimal for the sender to perform a (non-linear) dimension reduction by projecting the state vector onto a lower-dimensional object...

Learning is crucial to organizational decision making but often needs to be delegated. We examine a dynamic delegation … the principal, privately learns the profitability over time and communicates to the principal. We formulate learning … delegation as a dynamic mechanism design problem and characterize the optimal delegation scheme. We show that private learning …
