This study develops theory and uses a door-to-door fundraising field experiment to explore the economics of charity. We approached nearly 5000 households, randomly divided into four experimental treatments, to shed light on key issues on the demand side of charitable fundraising. Empirical...

Prices for the same flight change substantially depending on the time of purchase. This paper uses a unique dataset with round-the-clock posted fares to document significant within-day price variation. Labeling time-variation as discriminatory is difficult because the cost of an unsold airline...

We examine how competition impacts the provision of product quality. Using a unique data set of inflight amenities provided by U.S. airlines, we find that the composition of competition matters with significantly higher product quality (Wi-Fi, entertainment, and power) on more competitive routes...

We develop a model to derive an optimal price for a bundle of two goods when buyers are risk averse and uncertain about the valuation of each good. In theory, the optimal bundle price depends not only on the probability of a positive valuation of each good, but also on the correlation between...
