We Value Your Privacy: Behavior‐Based Pricing Under Endogenous Privacy

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study a duopoly model of behavior‐based pricing in which consumers can either disclose or hide their data. We contrast two data policies.

In the unique equilibrium, all consumers disclose, and firms price discriminate, leading to welfare losses from inefficient poaching ...

Tariffs and Foreign Direct Investment in a Dynamic North–South Model

Liquidity Crises and the Market‐Maker of Last Resort

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We study market illiquidity in an economy subject to nonfundamental shocks. Asset trading occurs via decentralized bargaining. The model has multiple rational expectations equilibria; we associate certain Pareto‐inferior equilibria with liquidity crises.
