Manipulation of Belief Aggregation Rules
This paper studies manipulation of belief aggregation rules in the setting where the society first collects individual's probabilistic opinions and then solves a public portfolio choice problem with common utility based on the aggregate belief.
Stable matching as transportation
We study matching markets with aligned preferences and establish a connection between common design objectives -- stability, efficiency, and fairness -- and the theory of optimal transport.
An Experimental Study of Decentralized Matching
We present an experimental study of decentralized two-sided matching markets with no transfers.
Individual and Collective Welfare in Risk Sharing with Many States
We provide a quantitative assessment of welfare in the classical model of risk-sharing and exchange under uncertainty.
Revealed preferences for dynamically inconsistent models
We study the testable implications of models of dynamically inconsistent choices when planned choices are unobservable, and thus only "on path" data is available.
Recovering utility
We provide sufficient conditions under which a utility function may be recovered from a finite choice experiment.
Binary Mechanisms under Privacy-Preserving Noise
We study mechanism design for public-good provision under a noisy privacy-preserving transformation of individual agents' reported preferences.
Rationally Inattentive Statistical Discrimination: Arrow Meets Phelps
When information acquisition is costly but flexible, a principal may rationally acquire information that favors "majorities" over "minorities."
Price & Choose
We describe a two-stage mechanism that fully implements the set of efficient outcomes in two-agent environments with quasi-linear utilities.
Efficiency in Random Resource Allocation and Social Choice
We study efficiency in general collective choice problems where agents have ordinal preferences and randomization is allowed.
Closure operators: Complexity and applications to classification and decision-making
We study the complexity of closure operators, with applications to machine learning and decision theory.
Stable allocations in discrete exchange economies
We study stable allocations in an exchange economy with indivisible goods.
On the meaning of the Critical Cost Efficiency Index
This note provides a critical discussion of the \textit{Critical Cost-Efficiency Index} (CCEI) as used to assess deviations from utility-maximizing behavior.
Empirical Welfare Economics
Welfare economics relies on access to agents' utility functions: we revisit classical questions in welfare economics, assuming access to data on agents' past choices instead of their utilities.
Screening $p$-Hackers: Dissemination Noise as Bait
Uninformed $p$-hackers, who are fully ignorant of the true mechanism and engage in data mining, often fall for baits.
Decreasing Impatience
We characterize decreasing impatience, a common behavioral phenomenon in intertemporal choice.
Approximate Expected Utility Rationalization
We apply our methodology to data from three large-scale experiments.
Ordinal and cardinal solution concepts for two-sided matching
We characterize solutions for two-sided matching, both in the transferable and in the nontransferable-utility frameworks, using a cardinal formulation.
Twofold Multiprior Preferences and Failures of Contingent Reasoning
We propose a model of incomplete \textit{twofold multiprior preferences}, in which an act $f$ is ranked above an act $g$ only when $f$ provides higher utility in a worst-case scenario than what $g$ provides in a best-case scenario.
Top of the Batch: Interviews and the Match
Most doctors in the NRMP are matched to one of their most-preferred internship programs.
Incentive Compatible Active Learning
We consider active learning under incentive compatibility constraints.
Decision Making under Uncertainty: An Experimental Study in Market Settings
We implement nonparametric revealed-preference tests of subjective expected utility theory and its generalizations.
Recovering Preferences from Finite Data
We study preferences estimated from finite choice experiments and provide sufficient conditions for convergence to a unique underlying "true" preference.
Constrained Pseudo-market Equilibrium
We propose a pseudo-market solution to resource allocation problems subject to constraints.
