    This paper examines the regulation of technological innovation direction under uncertainty about potential harms. We develop a model with two competing technological paths and analyze various regulatory interventions. Our findings show that market forces tend to inefficiently concentrate research on leading paths. We demonstrate that ex post regulatory instruments, particularly liability regimes, outperform ex ante restrictions in most scenarios. The optimal regulatory approach depends critically on the magnitude of potential harm relative to technological benefits. Our analysis reveals subtle insurance motives in resource allocation across research paths, challenging common intuitions about diversification. These insights have important implications for regulating emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, suggesting the need for flexible, adaptive regulatory frameworks

    Liu et al. (2023) examines the effect of climate change on labor allocation in India over a long time span. The authors find that rising temperatures are correlated with lower shares of workers in non agricultural sectors. They also identify a likely mechanism: falling agricultural productivity leads to a reduction in demand for non-agricultural goods or services, leading to a reduction in labor demand in non-agricultural sectors. We undertake a reproduction and extension of Liu et al. (2023), and find that we are able to computationally reproduce all the numbers produced by the authors up to marginal differences in the calculation of standard errors. We describe a set of data issues that hindered full reproduction of the original dataset, and, in one case, contradicts a claim of data availability made by the authors. Finally, we test the robustness of the main results to a more consistent use of fixed effects and the use of Poisson regression, following Chen and Roth (2024). The Poisson regression approach does not alter the results, but in several of the new fixed effects specifications the author's original results are less conclusive and lose statistical significance.

    I would like to thank Hong and Luparello (2024) for their effort in replicating, as well as partially extending, the results in Orr (2022). This replication report makes what I believe to be three key points: 1. The replication package of Orr (2022) is computationally reproducible (up to two minor caveats, which I very much appreciate the authors catching) 2. The demand estimates are sensitive to a 30% cost-share threshold pursued when con- structing input price based IVs. 3. The demand estimation strategy does not work when applied to a different sample (the same industry, but a later time period). - In this brief note, I provide some minor commentary on each of these findings. I focus primarily on point 2, where my interpretation of their results differs slightly from their own. In particular, I believe these results largely show that the cost-share threshold does not matter much quantitatively | as long one is careful to choose thresholds that make economic sense | although I also acknowledge that the precision of the estimates can be sensitive to this threshold.

    Many centralized assignment systems seek to not only provide good matches for participants' current needs, but also to accommodate changes in preferences and circumstances. We study the problem of designing a dynamic reassignment mechanism in the context of Norway's system for allocating patients to general practitioners (GPs). We provide direct evidence of misallocation under the current system--patients sitting on waitlists for each others' GPs, but who cannot trade--and analyze an alternative mechanism that adapts the Top-Trading Cycles (TTC) algorithm to a dynamic environment. In contrast to the static case, dynamic TTC may leave some agents worse off relative to a status quo where trades are not permitted, introducing novel concerns about fairness. We empirically evaluate how this mechanism would perform by estimating a structural model of switching behavior and GP choice. While introducing TTC would on average reduce waiting times and increase patient welfare--with especially large benefits for female patients and recent movers--patients endowed with undesirable GPs would be harmed. Adjustments to the priority system can avoid harming this group while preserving most of the gains from TTC
