PAPERS:

“Endogenous Amenities and Spatial Inequality in Cities” (Job Market Paper)

In this paper, I characterize and quantify a new economic force underlying observed spatial inequality in cities that is based on

two-sided sorting of skill groups and firms across space. In contrast to recent theoretical and empirical work emphasizing the

role of reduced-form spillovers to the local skill composition, spatial sorting in my model is driven by variation in localized,

skill-specific price indices arising from the interplay of firm mobility, spatial frictions and non-homothetic demand across

consumption sectors. First, I embed these features, as well as reduced-form spillovers, in a spatial general equilibrium model

of the city. Second, I apply the model's structure to empirically quantify the strength of reduced form spillovers with detailed

tract-level data on changes in skill and firm composition for Los Angeles. Accounting for relative changes in price indices

lowers relative reduced-form spillovers by 30-50\% in the data. Third, I calibrate the model using estimated spillovers with and

without the price index channel to assess the differential effects of urban policies on mobility and welfare by skill. In the

presence of relative price index effects I find that Trump's new Opportunity Zones lead to gentrification in affected

neighborhoods but negligible effects in the model with only reduced-form spillovers.

“Scaling Up Agricultural Policy Interventions: Theory and Evidence from Uganda” (with Lauren Bergquist, Thibault Fally,

Benjamin Faber, Edward Miguel, Andres Rodriguez-Clare)

Interventions aimed at raising agricultural productivity in developing countries have been a centerpiece in the global fight

against poverty. These policies are increasingly informed by evidence from field experiments and natural experiments, with

the well-known limitation that findings based on local variation generally do not speak to the general equilibrium (GE) effects

if the intervention were to be scaled up to the national level. In this paper, we develop a new framework to quantify these forces

based on a combination of theory and rich but widely available microdata. We build a quantitative GE model of farm production

and trade, and propose a new solution method in this environment for studying high-dimensional counterfactuals at the level

of individual households in the macroeconomy. We then bring to bear microdata from Uganda to calibrate the model to all

households populating the country. We use these building blocks to explore the average and distributional implications of local

shocks compared to policies at scale, and quantify the underlying mechanisms.

Universidad de Chile B.A. 2010 Economics JOB MARKET PAPER:

• Fireside Chats: Communication and Consumers’ Expectations in the Great Depression Motivated by an increasing interest from economic authorities to use communication as a policy tool, I use regional variation in radio exposure in

1930 to analyze the impact of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1935 speech in which he showcased the introduction of important social policies. I

document that states and cities with higher exposure to the announcement exhibited a significant increase in spending of durable goods. I transcribed

weekly data on banks debits and show that they increased 20\% the month following the speech in fully exposed cities relative to non-exposed ones. I

provide evidence that suggests that this result is not driven by wealth or other potentially confounding variables. To better understand these results, I

develop a model where consumers live in a multi-region monetary union, have sticky information and consume durable and non-durable goods to show

how regions with more informed consumers increase their spending after a policy announcement, similar to FDR's.

PAPERS:

• Incentives and Efficiency in Constrained Allocation Mechanisms (with David Ahn) [Job Market Paper] We study private-good allocation mechanisms where an arbitrary constraint delimits the set of feasible joint allocations. This provides a unified perspective over several prominent examples that can be parameterized as constraints in this model, including house allocation, roommate assignment, and social choice. We first characterize the set of two-agent strategy-proof and Pareto efficient mechanisms for every possible constraint, showing that every mechanism is a "local dictatorship.'' For more than two agents, we leverage this result to provide a characterization of group strategy-proofness. In particular, an N-agent mechanism is group strategy-proof if and only if all its two-agent marginal mechanisms (defined by holding fixed all but two agents' preferences) are Pareto efficient and strategy-proof. We apply these results to the roommates problem to generate the novel finding that all group strategy-proof and Pareto efficient mechanisms are generalized serial dictatorships, a new class of mechanisms. Our results also yield a new proof of the Gibbard--Satterthwaite Theorem. Finally, we introduce and study a large class of "constraint-traversing'' mechanisms which can be defined for any constraint and we provide a simple sufficient condition for such mechanisms to be group strategy-proof and Pareto efficient. We construct constraint-traversing mechanisms for a number of examples.

• Stable Matching Under General Constraints This paper proposes a unified framework for studying two-sided matching problems with constraints. We introduce a matching algorithm called the constrained cumulative deferred acceptance algorithm capable of accommodating a wide variety of constraints. Like the deferred acceptance algorithm, one side of the market makes proposals to another. A "constraint correspondence" dynamically limits the choices of the receiving side in order to enforce that the ultimate match satisfies the constraint. If the constraint correspondence satisfies a "generalized substitutes" condition, the ultimate match will be constrained stable in the sense that satisfying any blocking pair would lead to a violation of the constraint. We provide two further conditions, "aggregate monotonicity" and "constraint IIA," on the constraint correspondence which ensure the constrained cumulative deferred acceptance algorithm implements a strategy-proof mechanism. Finally, we study the comparative statics of constraint correspondences.

Studying Overspending in the Video Games Market Abstract: This paper studies the issue of consumers' biased beliefs that result in misestimation of personal consumption and excessive spending on products that will never be used in the future. The behavior of interest is consumers' purchasing of games they never open. According to descriptive statistics, around 29% of games in people's game libraries are unopened as of March 18, 2019. This setting enables the analysis in question because, besides purchasing decisions, one can observe consumption patterns as well, which are usually problematic to track. I utilize Python to gather the main dataset from Steam, one of the largest online gaming platforms. The data contain daily purchasing and consumption statistics as well as daily prices in all supported currencies for a period of 9.5 months. I study economic and behavioral mechanisms that might drive the behavior in question. In particular, I perform survival analysis, discuss search costs, study the effects of game heterogeneity, check for the presence of projection bias, and consider intertemporal substitution of purchases as possible explanations. I show that none of the above-mentioned mechanisms is supported by the dataset and arrive at the conclusion that the main reason for the excessive spending is consumers' biased beliefs regarding their future willingness to try new products.

Modeling Biased Beliefs in the Video Games Market Abstract: In this paper I develop a structural model that takes into account people’s biased beliefs about their likelihood to try new products when making a purchase. I discuss the functional and distributional assumptions needed to identify the model. I simulate the outcomes of three counterfactuals: debiasing consumers, removing sales, and decreasing variety.
