We analyze a continuous-time bargaining game of two-sided incomplete information without time discounting. Consistent with existing results, no trade occurs in the unique equilibrium of this game. Next we assume that players have imperfect information about their types; that is, they do not...

Al-Ubaydli et al (2020) point out that many research findings experience a reduction in magnitude of treatment effects when scaled, and make a number of proposals to improve the scalability of pilot project findings. While we agree that scalability is important for policy relevance, we argue...

Recent discoveries in behavioral economics have led to important new insights concerning what can happen in markets. Such gains in knowledge have come primarily via laboratory experiments--a missing piece of the puzzle in many cases is parallel evidence drawn from naturally-occurring field...

A well-recognized problem in the multitasking literature is that workers might substantially reduce their effort on tasks that produce unobservable outputs as they seek the salient rewards to observable outputs. Since the theory related to multitasking is decades ahead of the empirical evidence,...
