Firms and Markets Seminar Abstract: In applied economics, many parameters of interest can be viewed as (combinations of) ratios of means. Two leading examples are (i) average treatment effect estimands and (ii) the average outcome in a population where individuals are allowed to be clustered (e.g. average grade of pupils when the latter are […]

We use the staggered roll-out of broadband to estimate its causal impact on the importing behavior of firms. Using an event-study design, we find that broadband expansion increases imports. Simple counterfactuals suggest […]

Firms and Markets Seminar (Brainstorming Session) Abstract: To model the impact of a merger on new workers, one needs to understand the determinants of bargaining power. Yet, little is known about bargaining power and how to model it. Economists inevitably treat it as exogenous in theoretical and structural work. Building on insights from auction […]
