Endogenous Public Information and Welfare in Market Games [PDF]

Abstract

This paper performs a welfare analysis of markets with private information in which agents condition on prices in the rational expectations tradition. Price-contingent strategies introduce two externalities in the use of private information: a pecuniary externality induces agents to put too much weight on private information and in the normal case, where the allocation role of the price prevails over its informational role, overwhelms the learning externality which impinges in the opposite way. The price may be very informative but at the cost of an excessive dispersion of the actions of agents. The welfare loss at the market solution may be increasing in the precision of private information. The analysis provides insights into optimal business cycle policy and a rationale for a Tobin-like tax for financial transactions.

Can We Steer Income Comparison Attitudes by Information Provision?: Evidence from Randomized Survey Experiments in the US and the UK (joint with Katsunori Yamada) [PDF]

Abstract

Economists have long been concerned that negative attitudes about relative income reduce social welfare. This paper investigates whether such attitudes can be mitigated by a simple information treatment. Toward this end, we conducted an original randomized online survey experiment in the US and the UK. As a baseline result, we find that UK respondents compare their incomes with others’ at a much higher rate than US subjects do. Additionally, we find that our information treatment—suggesting that comparing income with others may diminish their welfare even when income levels are actually increasing—made respondents compare incomes more, rather than less. Interestingly, we find such effects only among UK respondents. The mechanism for this among UK respondents seems to be driven by those who are initially less comparison-conscious becoming more comparison-conscious, indicating that our information treatment gives moral “license” to make comparisons by informing that others actually do.

The Impact of an Early Career Recession on Schooling and Lifetime Welfare [PDF]

Abstract

This paper evaluates the long-term welfare consequences from ex- periencing a recession as youths, considering the impact on schooling, wages and labor supply. The paper also explores the mechanisms that account for lifetime wage changes, including changes from schooling, from work experience, and from job mobility. I develop and estimate a directed search equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents and aggre- gate shocks. Experiencing the 1981-1982 recession at age 16-22 causes a 2.2% to 3.0% lifetime welfare loss. Endogenizing schooling decision avoids overestimation of the welfare loss. The loss in experience and tenure explains the persistent wage loss after the recession.

Procurement Auctions with General Price-Quality Evaluation (joint with Jun Nakabayashi and Masanori Tsuruoka)

Abstract

We offer a theory of procurement auctions in which multi-dimensional bidding is ranked by a scoring rule. Our analysis allows a broad class of practically used scoring rules such as one in which price and non-price attributes are evaluated nonlinearly in score. We find that first-score (FS) and second-score (SS) auctions can be transformed into equivalent, single-dimensional score-bid auctions where the bidder's utility is non-linear in the score-bid. Our analysis demonstrates that the expected scores of FS and SS auctions generally differ unless scoring rule is quasilinear.

Decentralized College Admissions (joint with Yeon-Koo Che) [PDF]

Abstract

We study decentralized colleges admissions in the face of uncertain student preferences. Enrollment uncertainty causes colleges to strategically target their admissions to students overlooked by others. Highly ranked students may receive fewer admissions or suffer from a higher chance of coming up empty--"falling through the cracks"--than those ranked below. When students' attributes are multidimensional, colleges avoid head-on competition by placing excessive weights on school-specific measures such as essays. Restricting the number of applications or wait-listing alleviates enrollment uncertainty, but the outcomes are inefficient and unfair. A centralized matching via Gale and Shapley's deferred acceptance algorithm attains efficiency and fairness, but some college may be worse off relative to decentralized matching.

On Multitasking and Job Design in Relational Contracts

Abstract

 We investigate the optimal job design in relational contract with multiple tasks where the performance measurement is distorted,  aggregated, and nonverifiable. We compare task bundling where all the tasks are assigned to a single agent with task separation where the tasks are split and assigned to two agents. Compared to task bundling, task separation mitigates misallocation of efforts among the tasks but requires more commitment due to dispersion of informal bonuses to multiple agents. As a result, task separation is better than task bundling if and only if the discount factor of the parties is high. We furthermore show that the optimal job design may exhibit task exclusion, in which only a single agent is employed but the assigned tasks are limited.

A Crisis-Bailout Game (joint with Bruno Salcedo and Bruno Sultanum) [PDF]

Abstract

This paper studies the optimal design of a liability-sharing arrangement as an infinitely repeated game. We construct a non-cooperative, 2-player model. The active agent can take a costly, unobservable action to reduce the incidence of crisis. Crisis is costly for both agents. When a crisis occurs, each agent decides unilaterally how much to contribute mitigating it. For the one-shot game, when the avoidance cost is too high relative to the expected loss of crisis for the active agent, the first-best is not achievable, i.e., the active agent cannot be induced to put in effort to minimize the incidence of crisis at any static Nash equilibrium. We show that with the same stage-game environment, the first-best cannot be implemented as a perfect public equilibrium (PPE) of the infinitely repeated game either. Instead, at any constrained efficient PPE, the active agent “shirks” infinitely often, and when crisis happens, the active agent is “bailed out” infinitely often. The frequencies of crisis and bailout are endogenously determined at equilibrium. This result of the welfare optimal equilibrium being characterized by recurrent crises and bailouts is consistent with historical episodes of financial crises with varying frequency and varied external responses for troubled institutions and countries in the real world. We explore some comparative statics of the PPEs of the repeated game numerically.

College Admissions with Entrance Exams: Centralized versus Decentralized (joint with Isa E. Hafalir, Rustamdjan Hakimov andDorothea Kübler) [paper]
Abstract

We theoretically and experimentally study a college admissions problem in which colleges accept students by ranking students’ efforts in entrance exams. Students’ ability levels affect the cost of their efforts. We solve and compare equilibria of “centralized college admissions” (CCA) where students apply to all colleges, and “decentralized college admissions” (DCA) where students only apply to one college. We show that lower ability students prefer DCA whereas higher ability students prefer CCA. The main predictions of the theory are supported by experiments, yet we find a number of differences that render DCA less attractive than CCA compared to equilibrium benchmark.

Stochastic Choice and Revealed Perturbed Utility (joint with Drew Fudenberg and Tomasz Strzalecki) [PDF]

Abstract

Perturbed utility functions|the sum of expected utility and a non-linear perturbation function|provide a simple and tractable way to model various sorts of stochastic choice. We provide two easily understood conditions each of which characterizes this representa- tion: One condition generalizes the acyclicity condition used in revealed preference theory, and the other generalizes Luce's IIA condition. We relate the discrimination or selectivity of choice rules to properties of their associated perturbations, both across di erent agents and across decision problems. We also show that these representations correspond to a form of ambiguity-averse preferences for an agent who is uncertain about her true utility.

The Economics of the Right to be Forgotten (joint with Jin Yeub Kim) [PDF]

Abstract

We study the underlying economics behind the burgeoning debate on the "right to be forgotten." One individual's right to privacy may collide with others' rights of free speech and access to information. We offer a model of the right to be forgotten as a legal dispute game between petitioner(s) and a search engine. Our equilibrium analysis implies that, as long as the claim fee is small enough, the petitioner with a certain level of harm from defamatory links will act aggressively to claim the removal and go to litigation if the claim is rejected. Surprisingly, we show that a higher loss from broken links decreases the expected number of broken links. In this sense, we argue that the global expansion of the European ruling is neither necessarily posing a threat to the freedom of speech, nor protect the privacy right of the European more effectively.

Research Design Meets Market Design: Using Centralized School Assignment for Impact Evaluation (joint with Atila Abdulkadiroglu, Josh Angrist, Parag Pathak)

Abstract

A growing number of school districts use centralized assignment mechanisms to match students to schools in a manner that reflects student preferences and school priorities. When schools are oversubscribed, these matching schemes use lotteries to ration seats. The resulting random assignment opens the door to credible quasi-experimental research designs for the evaluation of school effectiveness. Yet the question of how best to separate the lottery-generated variation integral to such designs from non-random preferences and priorities remains open. This paper develops easily-implementable empirical strategies that fully exploit the random assignment embedded in widely-used deferred acceptance mechanisms. We use these new methods to evaluate charter schools in Denver Public Schools, one of a growing number of districts that integrate charter and traditional public schools in a unified match. On the empirical side, our results show large test score gains from charter school attendance. Our approach also generates substantial econometric efficiency gains over ad hoc methods that fail to exploit the full richness of the embedded lotteries.

The MDP Procedure for Public Goods and Local Strategy Proofness [PDF]

Abstract

This paper revisits the family of MDP Procedures and analyzes their properties. It also reviews the procedure developed by Sato (1983) which achieves Aggregate Correct Revelation in the sense that the sum of the Nash equilibrium strategies al- ways coincides with the aggregate value of the correct MRSs. The procedure named the Generalized MDP Procedure can possess other desirable properties shared by continuous-time locally strategy proof planning procedures, i.e., feasibility, monotonicity and Pareto efficiency. Under myopia assumption, each player’s dominant strategy in the local incentive game associated at any iteration of the procedure is proved to reveal his/her marginal rate of substitution for a public good. In connection with the Generalized MDP Procedure, this paper analyses the structure of the locally strategy proof procedures as algorithms and game forms. An alternative characterization theorem of locally strategy proof procedures is given by making use of the new Condition, Transfer Independence. A measure of incentives is proposed to show that the exponent attached to the decision function of public good is characterized. A Piecewise Nonlinearized MDP Procedure is presented, which is coalitionally locally strategy proof. Equivalence between price-guided and quntity-guided procedures are also discussed.

Recent Developments in Matching Theory and their Practical Applications

Abstract

Many developments have happened in matching theory and its applications in recent years. In this talk, I will survey them and suggest possible research directions for the future. My main focus will be on the advances in matching theory that try to solve market design problems in practical markets where the classic theory has been inapplicable. Specifically, we discuss the recent theory of matching in large markets and approximate market design, as well as a new theory of "matching with constraints", as well as their applications.

Internal Migration in Dual Labor Markets (joint with Robert A. Miller)

Abstract

This paper uses a large panel assembled from Spanish administrative data for over one million individuals assembled from tax, welfare and employment records over a period spanning 30 years to estimate a dynamic model of individual optimization that explains transitions and spell lengths between permanent positions, temporary positions, unemployment and exits from the workforce. We seek to explain the sequence of job spells in temporary contracts and unemployment transitions as new entrants in the workforce gradually acquire experience and, ultimately, transition into permanent contracts. The career mobility of young workers is jointly determined with geographical and occupational mobility. Thus we investigate how different types of labor market experience and welfare entitlements affect job search behavior, employment duration, and migration patterns over the life cycle.

Incentives in Pre-Mechanism Activities with Externalities (joint with Hitoshi Matsushima)

Abstract

  We study the incentives of pre-mechanism activities. When the agents can take pre-mechanism actions that influence not only their own types but also the types of the other agents, the classical VCG mechanism does not always achieve full efficiency (efficient action and efficient allocation together), because agents want to weaken the opponents to emphasize their marginal contributions. On the other hand, the pure Groves mechanism, which equalize each agent's incentive with welfare-maximization problem, always achieves full efficiency, while it typically results in a deficit. The pure Groves mechanism is the unique fully efficient mechanism when the agents can influence the other agents' types in a wide variety of ways. We also investigate when and how we can improve the revenue keeping full efficiency, and suggest a scheme to construct the revenue-maximizing fully efficient mechanism.

Optimality of Quota Contract [PDF]

Abstract

A quota contract – characterized by a target, and discrete and sizable reward for achieving it – is susceptible to gaming by the agent. For example, the agent can manipulate the timing of closing a deal and/or reporting earnings. Because of this obvious drawback, the widespread use of quota contracts for salespeople and executives has puzzled economists. In this paper, we show that using a quota contract can be optimal for the principal if she has a contract commitment problem. Moreover, the benefit of a quota contract arises precisely from inducing the agent to game the incentive system.

Simple and Detail-Free Reciprocity in Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma (joint with Philipp Strack)

Abstract

We consider repeated prisoner's dilemma games in which it is unknown how cooperation intensity translates to cooperation probability. We propose a class of strategies that are simple and detail-free: It keeps track of only the average cooperation frequency in the past, and it does not depend on the fine detail of the knowledge about the intensity-probability relationship. We show that such a strategy can be used in an epsilon-equilibrium for any environment near the deterministic intensity-probability relationship, and all such equilibria result in the payoff profiles close to the Pareto-frontier, except when players permanently defect.

Deception under Competitive Intermediation [PDF]

Abstract

This paper investigates the incentive of intermediaries|such as nancial advisors, mortgage brokers, or insurance salespeople|to educate consumers who misperceive the value of products. Two types of rms sell products through competing common-agent intermediaries and pay commissions for sales. One sells a transparent product, while the other sells a deceptive product that has a hidden fee, quality, or risk. Each intermediary chooses which product to o er and whether or not to educate consumers about the hidden attribute. I show that a non-educating equilibrium exists if and only if the degree of misperception is large. In the equilibrium, intermediaries earn high commissions despite competition. Furthermore, because consumers ultimately bear the cost of such commissions, consumer welfare is lower when intermediaries can educate consumers than when they cannot. Regulating commissions|analogous to recent policies in the Australian and UK mutual-fund industries|can lead intermediaries to reveal any hidden attribute. I also provide a condition to detect such welfare distortion under competition from market data.

Violent Crime: A Symptom of Wage Inequality

Abstract

Violent crime plagues the poorest neighborhoods of the United States, often being concentrated amongst minority populations. Despite being closely linked to income, violent crime does not obey the typical rules of revealed rational preferences. This paper builds a theoretical model based on insights from demographic and psychological studies to link violence with wealth inequality through a self-esteem production function, essentially posing violence as an inferior substitute to esteem. The main ndings are that violence is more closely linked to relative than objective poverty and that punishment based deterrence may fail to reduce overall crime rates.

Truth-telling and Stability in School Choice Problems with Affirmative Action: Theory and Experiment

Abstract

The paper presents an experimental study of affirmative action policies in school choice problems with focus on two mechanisms hitherto proposed: Hafalir et al. (2012)’s minority reserve mechanism (H mechanism) and Kojima (2012) and Matsubae (2011)’s majority quota mechanism (KM mechanism). We examined their performance in two preference environments. Our findings are (1) while truth telling is a dominant strategy in both mechanism, its rate is less than 60%; (2) the average payoff was significantly higher under H mechanism than under KM mechanism as predicted by theory. (3) The proportion of students who have justified envy was higher under H than under KM mechanism. (4) We identified a stable pattern of subject’s behavior as a cause of the deviation from dominant strategy, and theoretically proved that it constituted a Nash equilibrium when KM mechanism was used in some environment, but not under H mechanism. This explains our finding on the instability of matching under H mechanism.

Media See-saws: Winners and Losers on Media Platforms (joint with Simon P. Anderson) [PDF]

Abstract

We customize the aggregative game approach to oligopoly to study asymmetric media markets. Advertiser, platform, and consumer surplus are tied together by a simple summary statistic. When media are ad-financed and ads are a nuisance to consumers we establish see-saws between consumers and advertisers. Entry of a lower-quality platform increases consumer surplus, but decreases advertiser surplus if industry platform profits decrease with entry. Merger decreases consumer surplus, but increases advertiser surplus if profits of each merged platform increase with the merger. By contrast, when platforms use two-sided pricing or consumers like advertising, advertiser and consumer interests are often aligned.

Shared intentions: the evolution of collaboration [PDF]

Abstract

The ability to share intentions and adjust one's choices in collaboration with others is a fundamental aspect of human nature. We discuss the forces that would have acted for and against the evolution of this ability for a large class of dilemmas and coordination problems that would have been faced by our hominin ancestors. In contrast to altruism and other non-fitness maximizing preferences, the ability to share intentions proliferates when rare without requiring repeated interaction or assortativity in matching.

Average choice (joint with David Ahn and Kota Saito) [PDF]

Abstract

This is an investigation of stochastic choice when only the average of the choices is observable. For example when one observes aggregate sales numbers from a store, but not the frequency with which each item was purchased. The focus of our work is on the Luce model, also known as the Logit model. We show that a simple path independence property of average choice uniquely character- izes the Luce model. We also characterize the linear Luce mode, using similar tools. A linear version of the Luce model is used most frequently in empirical work by applied economists. Our characterization is based on the property of path independence, which runs counter to early impossibility results on path independent choice. From an empirical perspective, our results provide a small-sample advantage over the tests of Luce's model that rely on estimating choice frequences.

Inefficiency and Self - Determination: Simulation - Based Evidence From Meiji Japan (joint with Masayoshi Hayashi and Masashi Nishikawa) [paper]

Abstract

Does the exercise of the right of self-determination lead to inefficiency? This paper considers a set of centrally planned municipal mergers during the Meiji period, with data from Gifu prefecture. The observed merger pattern can be explained as a social optimum based on a very simple individual utility function. If individual villages had been allowed to choose their merger partners, counterfactual simulations show that the core is always non-empty, but core partitions contain about 80% more (post- merger) municipalities than the social optimum. Simulations are possible because core partitions can be calculated using repeated application of a mixed integer program.

New trade models, elusive welfare gains (joint with Kristian Behrens and Yoshitsugu Kanemoto)

Abstract

Extant studies take it for granted that there is a one-to-one mapping from a change in the equilibrium allocation to a change in welfare. We show, however, that such a premise does not apply to fairly standard models of monopolistic competition in various fields of economics, namely trade, growth, and economic geography. For any change in the equilibrium allocation, there exist an infinite number of possible welfare changes, provided that the number of varieties consumed differs between the two equilibria. Our result thus reveals a fundamental difficulty in measuring welfare changes when consumption diversity varies.

Stochastic Games with Hidden States and Hidden Actions

Abstract

This paper considers infinite-horizon stochastic games with hidden states and hidden actions. The state changes over time, players observe only a noisy public signal about the hidden state each period, and actions are private information. We show how to construct an approximately efficient equilibrium in a repeated Cournot game. Then we extend it to a general case and find a condition under which the folk theorem holds using ex-post equilibria. The result remains true even if players observe private signals rather than a public signal, provided that cheap-talk communication is allowed.

Savage in the Market (joint with Federico Echenique) [PDF]

Abstract

We develop a behavioral axiomatic characterization of Subjective Expected Utility (SEU) under risk aversion. Given is an individual agent's behavior in the market: assume a nite collection of asset purchases with corresponding prices. We show that such behavior satisfies a "revealed preference axiom" if and only if there exists a SEU model (a subjective probability over states and a concave utility function over money) that accounts for the given asset purchases.

The Home Market Effect and Patterns of Trade Between Rich and Poor Countries [PDF]

Abstract

This paper proposes a new theoretical framework for studying the patterns of trade between rich and poor countries by incorporating nonhomothetic preferences into the standard home market effect models of trade. It has a continuum of Dixit-Stiglitz monopolistic competitive sectors with iceberg trade costs. There are two countries, which may differ in their per capita labor endowment and the population size. Preferences across sectors are such that, as per capita income goes up, the households shift their expenditure shares towards higher-indexed sectors. In equilibrium, the Rich country, whose households achieve higher standard-of-living, runs a trade surplus in higher-indexed sectors through the home market effect, and hence becomes a net-exporter of high income elastic goods. The framework is flexible enough to allow for a variety of comparative statics. For example, a uniform productivity improvement causes the Rich to switch from a net exporter to a net importer in some middle sectors. The Rich gains relatively more (less) from such changes than the Poor when the goods produced in different sectors are substitutes (complements). The effects of globalization, captured by a reduction in the trade cost, are similar to those of uniform productivity improvements, except that it has additional effects of the terms of trade change when the two countries are unequal in size.

Exporting Sweatshops? Evidence from Myanmar [PDF]

Abstract

There is a long-standing debate over the impact of global trade on workers and firms in developing countries. In this paper I investigate the causal effect of exporting on working conditions and firm performance in Myanmar. This analysis draws on a new survey I conducted on Myanmar manufacturing firms from 2013 to 2015. I use the rapid opening of Myanmar to foreign trade after 2011 alongside firm product, geographic and industry variations to obtain causal estimates of the impact of trade. I find that exporting has large positive impacts on working conditions in terms of improved fire safety, health-care, union recognition, and wages. My results also indicate that exporting increases firm sales, employment, management practice scores, and the likelihood of receiving a labor audit.

Selectiive Disclosure: The Case of Nikkei Preview Articles (joint with William N. Goetzmann) [PDF]

Abstract

Nihon Keizai Shinbun (Nikkei for short) is a leading Japanese daily newspaper specializing in economy and business. During earnings announcement season, the Nikkei morning edition often publishes “preview” articles that are about companies’ sales and earnings. These predate the actual company announcements, and forecast more accurately the actual results than extant forecast, making the Nikkei forecasts value-relevant information. We identify 2,835 preview articles in the newspaper from 2000 to 2010. We find that share prices on average react to information before the preview articles are printed, suggesting some prior leakage of the date and content of preview information. The reaction is asymmetric: the stock price reacts positively to positive news but it does not react negatively to negative news. The costs and benefits (or incentives) for companies. Nikkei, and investors are investigated using changes in returns and information content around the events. We find a positive correlation between previewing and positive news sentiment.

Trade and Labor Market Dynamics (joint with Maximiliano Dvorkin and Fernando Parro) [PDF]

Abstract

We develop a dynamic trade model where production and consumption take place in spatially distinct labor markets with varying exposure to domestic and international trade. The model recognizes the role of labor mobility frictions, goods mobility frictions, geographic factors, and input-output linkages in determining equilibrium allocations. We show how to solve the equilibrium of the model without estimating productivities, migration frictions, or trade costs, which are usually difficult to identify. We calibrate the model to 38 countries, 50 U.S. states, and 22 sectors and use the rise in China’s import competition to quantify the effects across more than a thousand U.S. labor markets. We find that China’s trade shock resulted in a loss of 0.8 million U.S. manufacturing jobs, about 50 percent of the change in the manufacturing employment share unexplained by a secular trend. We find aggregate welfare gains but, due to trade and migration frictions, the welfare and employment effects vary across U.S. labor markets. Estimated transition costs to the new long-run equilibrium are also heterogeneous and reflect the labor dynamics.

Kinship Taxation as a Constraint on Microenterprise Growth: Experimental Evidence from Kenya [paper]

Abstract

Developing country entrepreneurs face family pressure to share income. This pressure, a kinship tax, can distort capital allocations. I combine evidence from a lab experiment -which allows me to estimate an individual- level sufficient statistic for the distortion- with data I collected on a sample of Kenyan entrepreneurs, to quantify the importance of the tax. My data reveal high kinship tax rates for a third of entrepreneurs in my sample. My quantitative analysis makes use of a simple structural model of input allocation fitted to my data, and implies that removing distortions from kinship taxation would increase total factor productivity by 26%, and increase the share of workers in firms with five or more employees from 9% to 56%. These effects are substantially larger than those coming from credit market distortions, which I estimate using a cash transfer RCT. My analysis also implies strong complementarities between kinship taxation and credit constraints.

Temporary Protection and Technology Adoption: Evidence from the Napoleonic Blockade [PDF]

Abstract

This paper uses a natural experiment to estimate the causal effect of temporary trade protection on long-term economic development. I find that regions in the French Empire which became better protected from trade with the British for exogenous reasons during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-15) increased capacity in mechanized cotton spinning to a larger extent than regions which remained more exposed to trade. In the long-run, regions with exogenously higher spinning capacity had: i.) higher activity in mechanized cotton spinning; ii.) higher labor-productivity for mechanized cotton-spinning firms, and; iii.) higher value-added per capita in industry.

Privatization and Innovation: Productivity, New Products, and Patents in China (joint with Yuyu Chen and Mo Xiao) [paper]

Abstract

We study Chinese firms' innovative activities in the period of privatization. We use Ackerberg, Caves, and Frazer’'s (forthcoming) method to estimate TFP, which suggests domestic private firms' average TFP converged with that of foreign firms, whereas that of state-owned enterprises lagged behind. We then investigate the relationships between our TFP estimates and other, observed measures of innovation, including the introduction of new products and patent applications. We find: (1) process and product innovations seem complementary to each other, (2) “invention” patents appear more reliable as an indicator of innovations than the other types of Chinese patents, and (3) patenting behaviors are highly heterogeneous across firms of different ownership types.
