Why Is Exclusivity in Broadcasting Rights Prevalent and Why Does Simple Regulation Fail?
ABSTRACT Pay‐TV firms compete both downstream to attract viewers and upstream to acquire broadcasting rights. Because profits inherited from downstream competition satisfy a convexity property, allocating rights to the dominant firm maximizes the industry profit.

Pareto Dominance of Deferred Acceptance through Early Decision
An early decision market is governed by rules that allow each student to apply to (at most) one college and require the student to attend this college if admitted. This market is ubiquitous in college admissions in the United States. We model this market as an extensive-form game of perfect information and study a refinement of subgame perfect ...

Using large language models to analyze political texts through natural language understanding
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) offer scalable alternatives to human experts when analyzing political texts for meaning, using natural language understanding (NLU). Qualitative NLU methods relying on human experts are severely limited by cost and scalability.

Abstract Generalizability theory (G‐theory) defines a statistical framework for assessing measurement reliability by decomposing observed variance into meaningful components attributable to persons, facets, and error. Classic G‐theory assumes homoscedastic residual variances across measurement conditions, an assumption that is often violated in ...
