Demand and Welfare Analysis in Discrete Choice Models with Social Interactions

27 April 2023

Debopam Bhattacharya, Pascaline Dupas, and Shin Kanaya

Many real-life settings of individual choice involve social interactions, causing targeted policies to have spillover effects. This paper develops novel empirical tools for analyzing demand and welfare effects of policy interventions in binary choice settings with social interactions.

Income growth and the distributional effects of urban spatial sorting

19 April 2023

Victor Couture, Cécile Gaubert, Jessie Handbury, and Erik Hurst

We explore the impact of rising incomes at the top of the distribution on spatial sorting patterns within large U.S. cities. We develop and quantify a spatial model of a city with heterogeneous agents and non-homothetic preferences for neighborhoods with endogenous amenity quality.

Fair Matching under Constraints: Theory and Applications

17 April 2023

Yuichiro Kamada and Fuhito Kojima

This paper studies a general model of matching with constraints. Observing that a stable matching typically does not exist, we focus on feasible, individually rational, and fair matchings. We characterize such matchings by fixed points of a certain function.

Diversity in Schools: Immigrants and the Educational Performance of U.S.-Born Students

17 April 2023

David Figlio, Paola Giuliano, Riccardo Marchingiglio, Umut Ozek, and Paola Sapienza

We study the effect of exposure to immigrants on the educational outcomes of U.S.-born students, using a unique dataset combining population-level birth and school records from Florida. This research question is complicated by substantial school selection of U.S.-born students, especially among White and comparatively affluent students, in response to the presence of immigrant students in the school.

The 2000s Housing Cycle With 2020 Hindsight: A Neo-Kindlebergerian View

12 April 2023

Gabriel Chodorow-Reich, Adam M. Guren, and Timothy J. McQuade

With “2020 hindsight,” the 2000s housing cycle is not a boom-bust but a boom-bust- rebound. Using a spatial equilibrium regression in which house prices are determined by income, amenities, urbanization, and supply, we show that long-run city-level fundamentals predict not only 1997-2019 price and rent growth but also the amplitude of the boom-bust-rebound.

The Value of Data Records

5 April 2023

Simone Galperti, Jacopo Perego, and Aleksandr Levkun

Many e-commerce platforms use buyers’ personal data to intermediate their transactions with sellers. How much value do such intermediaries derive from the data record of each single individual?

The Economic Geography of Global Warming

2 April 2023

José-Luis Cruz and Esteban Rossi-Hansberg

Global warming is a worldwide and protracted phenomenon with heterogeneous local economic effects. We propose a dynamic economic assessment model of the world economy with high spatial resolution to assess its consequences.

Equilibrium Analysis in Behavioral One-Sector Growth Models

2 April 2023

Daron Acemoglu and Martin Kaae Jensen

Rich behavioral biases, mistakes and limits on rational decision-making are often thought to make equilibrium analysis much more intractable. We establish that this is not the case in the context of one-sector growth models such as Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans or Bewley-Aiyagari models.

"Sellers often choose sudden, unannounced price drops—unlike standard models with forward-looking, strategic buyers. We show why a seller would prefer this."
