"A Theory of Repurchase Agreements, Collateral Re-use, and Repo Intermediation" Abstract This paper characterizes repurchase agreements (repos) as equilibrium contracts starting from first principles. We show that a repo allows the borrower to augment its consumption today while hedging both agents against future market price risk. As a result, safer assets will command a lower…

"Rent-seeking contest design" Abstract This paper studies the relationship between information, incentives, and outcomes in rent-seeking contests. A common solution to limiting socially wasteful rent-seeking activities is transparency. I show that information strictly increases efforts in rent-seeking contests. Thus, the socially optimal rent-seeking contest provides as little information as possible about the competition. The model…

"Information and Price Dispersion: Theory and Evidence" abstract We study the empirical importance of consumer information in generating price dispersion. Limited information is the key element generating price dispersion in modelsof homogeneous goods markets. We show that in these models the global relationship between information and price dispersion is an inverse-U shape. We test this mechanism using a…

"Long Term Government Bonds" abstract We study the impact of debt maturity on optimal fiscal policy by focusing on the case where the government issues a bond of maturity N > 1: Isolating these e ffects helps provide insight into the construction of optimal government debt portfolios.
