Chapter 1 of this dissertation explores the tradeoff digital goods platforms face when deciding whether to allocate visibility to established products of known quality or to new products of unknown quality, where quality must be learned by observing the behavior of users. Using high frequency data on views and downloads from Nexus Mods, a platform for mods (user generated content) for the popular video game Skyrim, I estimate a structural model of search, downloads, and expectation formation. I find that the platform is currently over-experimenting: by reducing the visibility of new mods they could increase aggregate downloads by at least 4%. Consumer search behavior is sensitive to the level of experimentation, suggesting platforms need to consider equilibrium effects when deciding on how much visibility to give new products. Chapter 2 studies the market for undergraduate college admissions. The uneven geographic distribution of colleges in the United States endows students with uneven access to colleges depending on where they live. To examine the implication of this for student welfare, we estimate a model of high school students' college choices, allowing for rich heterogeneity in students' preferences for college attributes. We use data on students' enrollment decisions and application decisions-i.e., the sets of colleges to which they applied-to identify the distribution of students' preferences, and find that place indeed matters: the expected value of applying to college differs dramatically across states and across counties within a state. This is a joint project with Chao Fu, Junjie Guo, and Alan Sorensen and is forthcoming in the Journal of Monetary Economics.

This thesis has two chapters which study market mechanisms in two different industries. The first chapter focuses on understanding why the price of champagne decreases when demand is at its peak. The second chapter aims at measuring consumers' willingness to pay for return policies, in the context of online auctions.

This dissertation contains three chapters on topics in industrial organization. Chapter 2 examines the accuracy of the Hypothetical Monopolist Test, a test for market definition which is often used in the legal analysis of mergers. Chapter 3 analyzes the use of market share discounts by firms and the effect of these discounts on profits and consumer welfare. Chapter 4 investigates pricing practices where a service is offered for a fixed fee plus a multipart usage fee. In Chapter 2, the accuracy of the Hypothetical Monopolist Test (HMT) is examined. In applying the test, two separate models are considered. In each model, the true extent of the product market is known. First, the HMT is applied in a linear differentiated demand model with n firms each producing one symmetrically differentiated product. The test consistently underestimates the number of products in the relevant market in this setting. The second model utilizes a quasi-linear utility specification, and I derive conditions under which the number of products in the market is overestimated. Chapter 3 analyzes the practice of a manufacturer offering a discount or rebate to a retailer if the sales of that manufacturer's product achieve certain benchmarks. Using a vertical model with linear differentiated demand, I find that the welfare effects of market share discount plans can often be positive. The optimal market share discount plan is closely approximates the outcome of vertical integration between the manufacturer and the retailer. This constructive vertical integration can eliminate double marginalization and encourage competing manufacturers to decrease their own wholesale prices. As such, when one manufacturer offers a market share discount plan, the prices of all products may fall. In Chapter 4, I examine pricing plans that include buckets of free units, as are common in the wireless telephone industry. A simple demand structure is established which allows for direct comparisons of the profits and consumer welfare under different pricing plans. The free bucket pricing plans are shown to generate the same profits for the monopolist and the same consumer surplus as two-part tariffs, even when multiple plans are offered to consumers.

This dissertation comprises three essays on industrial organization. The first essay studies how product-level entry and exit decisions impact business and public policy analysis. It provides an empirical model that incorporates these decisions and then estimates it in the context of the commercial vehicle segment of the US automotive industry. Finally, it demonstrates the importance of accounting for product-level changes using the $85 billion decision to rescue two US automakers in 2009. The second essay studies how two period strategies perform relative to Markov perfect strategies in discrete dynamic games. In particular, it considers a simple entry/exit game and shows that agents sacrifice very little in terms of expected discounted payoffs when they employ these simpler strategies. It also shows this result is robust to varying the underlying market characteristics. The third essay estimates the causal impact of research expenditures on scientific output. Unexpected college football outcomes provide exogenous variation to university funds, and in turn, research expenditures in the subsequent year. Using this variation, it estimates the dollar elasticity of scholarly articles, new patent applications, and the citations that accrue to each.
