"Payment Data, Information Disclosure, and Privacy", with Kee-Youn Kang
We study the informational value of payment data, optimal disclosure of aggregate-demand information, consumers' privacy concerns, and the implications for policy and welfare.
"Interest Rates, Moneyness, and the Fisher Equation", with Lucas Herrenbrueck
We study monetary policy and asset pricing when a safe asset can be easily traded or pledged as collateral to obtain money, or even for goods and services directly.
"Payments and the Provision of Privacy by Digital Platforms", with Pedro Gomis-Porqueras
We study how payments -- which are essential to trade between consumers and producers and therefore digital platforms' data monetization -- affect consumer privacy.
"Signaling in Competitive Search Equilibrium: Illiquidity vs. Partial Retention"
This paper studies illiquidity and partial retention of assets as signals of asset quality in markets with private information.
