Spouses, children and entrepreneurship
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2020-04)
We develop a model of endogenous entrepreneurship and marriage. Spouses influence entrepreneurship via three channels: they reduce benefits by working less the more profitable the business is, they reduce costs by working ...
Unemployment, entrepreneurship and firm outcomes
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-05)
Are there differences between firms created by unemployed individuals relative to otherwise identical employed individuals? The answer is crucial for understanding the impact of policies that promote entrepreneurship among ...
Two-stage majoritarian choice
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2020-05)
We propose a class of decisive collective choice rules that rely on an exogenous linear ordering to partition the majority relation into two acyclic relations. The first relation is used to obtain a shortlist of the feasible ...
Monetary policy in sudden stop-prone economies
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)
In a model featuring sudden stops and pecuniary externalities, I show that the ability to use capital controls has radical implications for the conduct of monetary policy. Absent capital controls, following an inflation ...

Robust design in monotonic matching markets : a case for firm-proposing deferred-acceptance
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-05)
We study two-sided matching markets among workers and firms. Workers seek one position at a firm but firms may employ several workers. In many applications those markets are monotonic: leaving positions unfilled is costly ...
Positively responsive collection choice rules and majority rule: a generalization of May's theorem to many alternatives
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-04)
A collective choice rule selects a set of alternatives for each collective choice problem. Suppose that the alternative ’x’, is in the set selected by a collective choice rule for some collective choice problem. Now suppose ...
