The social and the private returns to education differ when education can increase productivity, and also be used to signal productivity. We show how instrumental variables can be used to separately identify and estimate the social and private returns to education within the employer learning...

In this paper we address the identification and estimation of insurance models where insurees have private information about their risk and risk aversion. The model includes random damage and allows for several claims, while insurees choose from a finite number of coverages. We show that the...

We propose an empirical framework for a Cournot-oligopoly model where firms have private information about their own marginal costs. Considering a linear demand with random intercept, we characterize the Bayesian Cournot-Nash equilibrium and determine testable implications from the joint...

In this paper we study the identification of a screening model with multidimensional unobserved consumer heterogeneity, using transaction level data and consumers' socio-economic characteristics. In multidimensional screening a seller of a multi-attribute product “screens” by offering a menu...

The social and the private returns to education differ when education can increase productivity, and also be used to signal productivity. We show how instrumental variables can be used to separately identify and estimate the social and private returns to education within the employer learning...

We develop a model of inter-temporal and intra-temporal price discrimination by airlines to study the ability of different discriminatory mechanisms to remove sources of inefficiency and the associated distributional implications. To estimate the model's multi-dimensional distribution of...
