The Dynamics of Verification when Searching for Quality

4 May 2026

Zihao Li and Jonathan Libgober

An agent samples projects over time, observing quality for each, while a principal can select at most one. The principal values quality, whereas the agent only wants a project chosen. Transfers are unavailable, but the principal can verify quality by paying a cost. We fully characterize the dynamics of verification by determining optimal mechanisms for this problem.

Racial Disparities in Federal Sentencing: Evidence from Drug Mandatory Minimums

27 April 2026

Cody Tuttle

I study racial disparities in the criminal justice system by analyzing abnormal bunching in the distribution of crack-cocaine amounts used in federal sentencing. I compare cases sentenced before and after the Fair Sentencing Act, a 2010 law that changed the 10-year mandatory minimum threshold for crack-cocaine from 50g to 280g.

Identification and estimation of dynamic random coefficient models

27 April 2026

Wooyong Lee

I study linear panel data models with predetermined regressors (such as lagged dependent variables) where coefficients are individual-specific, allowing for heterogeneity in the effects of the regressors on the dependent variable. I show that the model is not point-identified in a short panel context but rather partially identified, and I characterize the identified sets for the mean, variance, and CDF of the coefficient distribution.

Manager Pay Inequality and Market Power

22 April 2026

Renjie Bao, Jan De Loecker, and Jan Eeckhout

Manager pay has increased considerably since 1980, and so has inequality in manager pay. Over the same period, there has been a sharp rise in market power. We start from the premise that the role of managers is to increase firm productivity. When markets are imperfectly competitive, productivity not only helps firm grow in size, productivity also affects market power.

Local Projection Based Inference under General Conditions

22 April 2026

Ke-Li Xu

This paper develops the uniform asymptotic theory for local projection (LP) regression when the true lag order of the model is unknown and potentially infinite. The theory allows for varying degrees of persistence in the data, growing response horizons, and general conditionally heteroskedastic martingale-difference shocks. Based on the theory, we make two main contributions.

Monopsony Makes Firms not only Small but also Unproductive: Why East Germany has not Converged

21 April 2026

Rüdiger Bachmann, Christian Bayer, Heiko Stüber, and Felix Wellschmied

When employers face a trade-off between being large and paying low wages—and in this sense have monopsony power—some productive employers decide against building large business networks, forgo sales, and remain small. These decisions have adverse consequences for aggregate labor productivity.

Financial Intermediation and Aggregate Demand: A Sufficient Statistics Approach

21 April 2026

Yu-Ting Chiang and Piotr Zoch

We show that the financial sector’s asset supply elasticities are sufficient statistics summarizing its macroeconomic effects for a large class of financial frictions. These elasticities are crucial for a wide range of policy questions, ranging from the size of fiscal multipliers to the relative effectiveness of asset purchases targeting the financial sector versus tax cuts targeting households.

Input Sourcing under Climate Risk: Evidence from U.S. Manufacturing Firms

21 April 2026

Joaquin Blaum, Federico Esposito, and Sebastian Heise

We study the effect of risk on how firms organize their supply chains. We use transaction-level data on U.S. manufacturing imports to construct a novel measure of input sourcing risk based on the historical volatility of ocean shipping times. Our measure isolates the unexpected component of shipping times that is induced by weather conditions along more than 331,000 maritime routes.

In dynamic project selection with costly verification claims of high quality may be less likely to be verified over time—a finding with implications for organizational governance.
