Stratification Trees for Adaptive Randomization in Randomized Controlled Trials

12 December 2022

Max Tabord-Meehan, University of Chicago

This paper proposes an adaptive randomization procedure for two-stage randomized controlled trials. The method uses data from a first-wave experiment in order to determine how to stratify in a second wave of the experiment, where the objective is to minimize the variance of an estimator for the average treatment effect (ATE).

“Since You’re So Rich, You Must Be Really Smart”: Talent, Rent Sharing, and the Finance Wage Premium

4 December 2022

Michael J. Böhm, Daniel Metzger, and Per Strömberg

Financial sector wages have increased extraordinarily over the last decades. We address two potential explanations for this increase: (1) rising demand for talent and (2) firms sharing rents with their employees.

Learning from Neighbors about a Changing State

9 November 2022

Krishna Dasaratha, Benjamin Golub, and Nir Hak

Agents learn about a changing state using private signals and their neighbors’ past estimates of the state. We present a model in which Bayesian agents in equilibrium use neighbors’ estimates simply by taking weighted sums with time-invariant weights.

Robots, Trade, and Luddism: A Sufficient Statistic Approach to Optimal Technology Regulation

30 October 2022

Arnaud Costinot and Ivan Werning

Technological change, from the advent of robots to expanded trade opportunities, creates winners and losers. How should government policy respond?

26 October 2022

Francesco D'Acunto, Daniel Hoang, Maritta Paloviita, and Michael Weber
