"Bubbles with Fraud in Asset Markets", with Kee-Youn Kang and Jaevin Park
We study asset pricing when assets can be counterfeited and verified, both at a cost. We consider both stationary and dynamic equilibria, as well as endogenous supply of assets.
"Credit, Privacy, and Data Monetization by Digital Platforms", with Pedro Gomis-Porqueras
We study how platforms’ provision of payment services shapes their incentives to monetize user data or to provide 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.
