SUMMARY:Quality Externalities on Platforms: The Case of Airbnb
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Sonia Jaffe  (Microsoft) \nTitle: Quality Externalities on Platforms: The Case of Airbnb \nAbstract:  We explore quality externalities on platforms: when buyers have limited information\, a seller’s quality affects whether her buyers return to the platform\, thereby impacting other sellers’ future business. We propose an intuitive measure of this externality\, applicable across a range of platforms. Guest Return Propensity (GRP) is the aggregate propensity of a seller’s customers to return to the platform. We validate this metric using Airbnb data: matching customers to listings with a one standard deviation higher GRP causes them to take 17% more subsequent trips. By directing buyers to higher-GRP sellers\, platforms may be able to increase overall seller surplus. (Joint work with Peter Coles\, Steven Levitt\, and Igor Popov.)

SUMMARY:On the geometry and topology of initial data sets in General Relativity
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Greg Galloway (University of Miami) \nTitle: On the geometry and topology of initial data sets in General Relativity \nAbstract: A theme of long standing interest (to the speaker!) concerns the relationship between the topology of spacetime and the occurrence of singularities (causal geodesic incompleteness). Many results concerning this center around the notion of topological censorship\, which has to do with the idea that the region outside all black holes (and white holes) should be simple. The aim of the results to be presented is to provide support for topological censorship at the pure initial data level\, thereby circumventing difficult issues of global evolution. The proofs rely on the recently developed theory of marginally outer trapped surfaces\, which are natural spacetime analogues of minimal surfaces in Riemannian geometry. The talk will begin with a brief overview of general relativity and topological censorship. The talk is based primarily on joint work with various collaborators: Lars Andersson\, Mattias Dahl\, Michael Eichmair and Dan Pollack.

SUMMARY:A sharp transition for Gibbs measures associated to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Philippe Sosoe (Cornell) \nTitle: A sharp transition for Gibbs measures associated to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation \nAbstract: In 1987\, Lebowitz\, Rose and Speer (LRS) showed how to construct formally invariant measures for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the torus. This seminal contribution spurred a large amount of activity in the area of partial differential equations with random initial data. In this talk\, I will explain LRS’s result\, and discuss a sharp transition in the construction of the Gibbs-type invariant measures considered by these authors.

SUMMARY:Sentiment and Speculation in a Market with Heterogeneous Beliefs
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ian Martin (LSE) \nTitle: Sentiment and Speculation in a Market with Heterogeneous Beliefs \nAbstract: We present a dynamic model featuring risk-averse investors with heterogeneous beliefs. Individual investors have stable beliefs and risk aversion\, but agents who were correct in hindsight become relatively wealthy; their beliefs are overrepresented in market sentiment\, so “the market” is bullish following good news and bearish following bad news. Extreme states are far more important than in a homogeneous economy. Investors understand that sentiment drives volatility up\, and demand high risk premia in compensation. Moderate investors supply liquidity: they trade against market sentiment in the hope of capturing a variance risk premium created by the presence of extremists.

SUMMARY:Optimally Imprecise Memory and Biased Forecasts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael Woodford (Columbia) \nTitle: Optimally Imprecise Memory and Biased Forecasts \nAbstract: We propose a model of optimal decision making subject to a memory constraint. The constraint is a limit on the complexity of memory measured using Shannon’s mutual information\, as in models of rational inattention; the structure of the imprecise memory is optimized (for a given decision problem and noisy environment) subject to this constraint. We characterize the form of the optimally imprecise memory\, and show that the model implies that both forecasts and actions will exhibit idiosyncratic random variation; that beliefs will fluctuate forever around the rational-expectations (perfect-memory) beliefs with a variance that does not fall to zero; and that more recent news will be given disproportionate weight. The model provides a simple explanation for a number of features of observed forecast bias in laboratory and field settings. [Joint work with Rava Azeredo da Silveira and Yeji Sung
