In many observational studies in social science and medicine, subjects or units are connected, and one unit’s treatment and attributes may affect another’s treatment and outcome, violating the stable unit treatment value assumption (SUTVA) and…

Importance The language used to describe health equity efforts has become increasingly contested. Understanding how language influences public attitudes is essential to effectively communicate equity-focused concepts across…

In recent years, a small number of companies offered mega grants (equity awards with an expected value in excess of $100 million) to their CEOs. We examine the outcomes of a sample of 40 grants issued to 28 CEOs, including how much realizable…

In response to growing economic and environmental concerns, companies in a range of industries seek to repurpose products (assets) that retain functional capacity beyond their initial first life. This paper examines a generic valuation model for…

In its 11th year, the State of Latino Entrepreneurship (SOLE) Report examines the experiences, strategies, and operating conditions of Latino/a-owned businesses across the country. Drawing on data from the 2025 SLEI Survey of U.S. Business Owners…

Conducting novel surveys that allow the first direct comparisons between Supreme Court decisions and public preferences, Jessee et al. find that the Court moved sharply to the right between 2020 and 2021 and attribute this change to the…

Problem definition: Accurately modeling consumer behavior in energy operations is challenging due to uncertainty, behavioral heterogeneity, and limited empirical data-particularly in low-frequency, high-impact events. While generative AI trained…

This paper studies the impact of generative AI on U.S. households’ task allocation at home, using detailed Internet browsing data from a large sample of home devices between 2021 and 2024. Leveraging pre-ChatGPT browsing patterns, we measure…

Research has identified a double-bind for female leaders: When acting in line with gender stereotypes, they are viewed as more likeable but less competent. Here, we test the impact of using gender stereotypical language-characterized by more…

The deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) translation tools in healthcare is accelerating rapidly, yet regulatory frameworks lag dangerously behind clinical practice. Recent data reveal that 57% of US physicians are already using or…

Pluralistic ignorance—the systematic misperception of others’ attitudes—can entrench suboptimal norms, yet its dynamics remain poorly understood. We develop a mathematical model of the coevolution of actions, private attitudes, and beliefs about…

Technology has long played a central role in human development since it is a critical driver of societal progress. As such, it would seem likely that those who support technological advancement would also support societal change. However, in this…

This paper investigates the value of introducing a little flexibility into the classical n × n student-optimal stable matching (SOSM) problem. We define flexibility as the ability to relax stability constraints, and we aim to characterize the…

Using confidential Census data, we find that aggressive performance pay practices and productivity growth have combined to increase U.S. inequality. Employees at more productive firms earn higher pay at all earnings levels; similarly, when a firm…

Antitrust laws mandate review of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) that exceed an asset size threshold based on accounting standards that exclude most intangible capital. We show that this exclusion leads to thousands of intangible-intensive M…

Companies across industries face increasing pressure to assess the costs of decarbonizing their operations. This paper develops a generic model for constructing abatement cost curves in connection with carbon dioxide emissions. The resulting…
