Gale's fixed tax for exchanging houses
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)We consider the taxation of exchanges among a set of agents where each agent owns one object. Agents may have different valuations for the objects and they need to pay taxes for exchanges. Using basic properties, we show that if pairwise (or some) ... -
Games with unobservable heterogeneity and multiple equilibria: an application to mobile telecommunications
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-02)To shed light on the limited success of competition enhancing policies in mobile telecommunications, I estimate a game of transceivers’ locations between national incumbents and a new entrant in Canada. I recover player-specific unobserved heterogeneity ... -

A Generalized Index of Fractionalization
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2008-01)The goal of this paper is to contribute to the economic literature on ethnic and cultural diversity by proposing a new index that is informationally richer and more flexible than the commonly used ‘ethno-linguistic fractionalization’ (ELF) index. We ... -

The Ghost in the Machine: Inferring Machine-Based Strategies from Observed Behavior
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)We introduce a procedure to infer the repeated-game strategies that generate actions in experimental choice data. We apply the technique to set of experiments where human subjects play a repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. The technique suggests that two types ... -
GLS Detrending, Efficient Unit Root Tests and Structural Change
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1998)We extend the class of M-tests for a unit root analyzed by Perron and Ng (1996) and Ng and Perron (1997) to the case where a change in the trend function is allowed to occur at an unknown time. These tests M(GLS) adopt the GLS detrending approach of ... -

The growth impact of language standardization : Metcalfe’s Law and the industrial revolution
(2020-01-13)During the Industrial Revolution, did population growth stimulate innovation, or did causality run primarily from innovation to growth? Previous research fails to explain why between 1700 and 1850: (i) most innovation originated in three clusters of ... -
Habit Formation and the Persistence of Monetary Shocks
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2002)This paper studies the persistent effects of monetary shocks on output. Previous empirical literature documents this persistence, but standard general equilibrium models with sticky prices fail to generate output responses beyond the duration of ... -
The hard problem of prediction for conflict prevention
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-04)There is a rising interest in conflict prevention and this interest provides a strong motivation for better conflict forecasting. A key problem of conflict forecasting for prevention is that predicting the start of conflict in previously peaceful ... -
Harsanyi’s Social Aggregation Theorem : A Multi-Profile Approach with Variable-Population Extensions
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2003)This paper provides new versions of Harsanyi’s social aggregation theorem that are formulated in terms of prospects rather than lotteries. Strengthening an earlier result, fixed-population ex-ante utilitarianism is characterized in a multi-profile ... -

The hotelling model with multiple demands
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-10)The purpose of this chapter is to provide an elementary introduction to the non-renewable resource model with multiple demand curves. The theoretical literature following Hotelling (1931) assumed that all energy needs are satisfied by one type of ... -
House allocation via deferred-acceptance
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-07)We study the simple model of assigning indivisible and heterogenous objects (e.g., houses, jobs, offi ces, etc.) to agents. Each agent receives at most one object and monetary compensations are not possible. For this model, known as the house allocation ... -
The household revolution: childcare, housework, and female labor force participation
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-07)Over the twentieth century, the allocation of womens' time changed dramatically. This paper explores the implications for the allocation of married womens' time stemming from: (1) the household revolution associated with the introduction of a variety ... -
The housing boom and selection into entrepreneurship
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-05)We provide evidence that the boom in housing prices occurred in the early 2000 distorted the selection of individuals that opened a business. A simple model of collateral financing predicts an increase in entry into entrepreneurship for house-owners ... -
How are wages determined? : a quasi-experimental test of wage determination theories
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques, 2023-01-02)We use novel quasi-experimental variation to (i) test whether firm-specific demand shocks impact wages, and (ii) to disentangle predictions coming from wage bargaining and firm upward sloping labor supply curve (wage posting). We use a unique ... -

How do Young People Choose College Majors?
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1997)Previous studies on the determinants of the choice of college major have assumed a constant probability of success across majors or a constant earnings stream across majors. Our model disregards these two restrictive assumptions in computing an expected ... -
How Important Are Intergenerational Transfers of Time? a Macroeconomic Analysis

How Much Inflation is Necessary to Grease the Wheels?
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2007)This paper studies Tobin's proposition that inflation "greases" the wheels of the labor market.

How Prescribed Policy Can Mislead when Data Are Defective: a Follow-Up to Srinivasan (1994) Using General Equilibrium
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1996)We highlight an example of considerable bias in officially published input-output data (factor-income shares) by an LDC (Turkey), which many researchers use without question. We make use of an intertemporal general equilibrium model of trade and ... -
