Unemployment flows, participation, and the natural rate of unemployment: Evidence from Turkey
(Elsevier, 2020-06)We use a parsimonious unobserved components model with flow rates to estimate a time-varying unemployment rate trend for Turkey. Our approach is grounded in the modern theory of labor market search. This trend estimate ... -
Random mechanisms for house allocation with existing tenants
(Elsevier, 2020-08)We study the house allocation problem with existing tenants: n houses (stand for "indivisible objects") are to be allocated to n agents; each agent needs exactly one house and has strict preferences; k houses are initially ... -
Independent vs. coordinated fundraising: Understanding the role of information

Damaged durable goods, upgrades, and the coase conjecture
(Mohr Siebeck, 2018-12)This study analyzes a damaged-goods market for a perfectly durable good in an infinite-horizon, discrete-time game. We characterize Markov perfect equilibria of this game under different buyer upgrade possibilities as a ... -
Costly switching from a status quo

Aspiration-based choice
