This research assesses preferences for clean-fuel vehicles (CFVs) versus the conventional vehicle using a discrete choice experiment. The results show that although consumers value environmental impact, vehicle performance characteristics are critical to choice. It is found that regulation is...

The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) raises new challenges for electricity systems. We implement a field experiment to assess the effect of time-of-use (TOU) pricing and managed charging on EV charging behavior. We find that while TOU pricing is effective at shifting EV charging into off-peak...

This study is the first to empirically test both forward and (falsely induced) reverse information cascades in an experimental setting using real-time instant feedback to participants. We find that, on average, individuals abandon their private information sets in favor of the group's as early...

When selling a home, an important decision facing the homeowner is choosing an optimal listing price. This decision will depend in large part on how the chosen list price impacts the post negotiation final sale price of the home. In this study, we design an experiment that enables us to identify...

We model leverage cycles in the natural laboratory of a mature asset class, namely US Commercial Real Estate. In this setting we can observe entrepreneurs' asset values as well as debt balances. We model capital-market yields, as conditioned by market-wide leverage, an indicator of debt...

This paper examines the effect of a currency changeover on prices. A parsimonious model shows that, during a period of currency changeover, sellers and buyers conversely opt for the currency dominating the negotiation based on exchange rate fluctuations between the preceding and the new currency...

We use a unique feature of California's property tax system to empirically identify the effect of selling homeowners' past property tax payments on their choice of listing price. Although past property taxes are sunk costs, we find that they have a significant positive effect on the sellers'...

We estimate the direct and spillover effects of a large-scale early childhood intervention on the educational attainment of over 2,000 disadvantaged children in the United States. We show that failing to account for spillover effects results in a severe underestimation of the impact. The...
