Teamwork is vital in many settings, and it is socially beneficial for teams to cooperate in some situations (``good games'') and not in others (``bad games;'' e.g., those that allo…
General Covariance-Based Conditions for Central Limit Theorems with Dependent Triangular Arrays
Arun G. Chandrasekhar, Matthew O. Jackson, Tyler H. McCormick +1
We present a general central limit theorem with simple, easy-to-check covariance-based sufficient conditions for triangular arrays of random vectors when all variables could be int…
Selecting the Most Effective Nudge: Evidence from a Large-Scale Experiment on Immunization
Abhijit Banerjee, Arun G. Chandrasekhar, Suresh Dalpath +8
Policymakers often choose a policy bundle that is a combination of different interventions in different dosages. We develop a new technique -- treatment variant aggregation (TVA) -…
Credit Freezes, Equilibrium Multiplicity, and Optimal Bailouts in Financial Networks
