    We investigate the feedback effect of option hedging activity on the stability of the price of the underlying. While previous literature has focused on the effect of hedging activity on the volatility of the underlying, this paper focuses on directional instabilities arising from feedback effects. We propose a model in which the drift of the underlying is affected by delta hedging and couple the predictions of this model with an approach to identify short-lived, locally explosive trends in the expected price evolution. We show that such directional instabilities indeed occur with higher or lower intensity (depending on the option parameters and its delta) when option hedging is present, in line with the predictions of our model. Analytical results and synthetic experiments furthermore suggest that the effect of hedging on price stability is strongly asymmetric, with a significantly more pronounced effect on the spot price when the option market maker is short compared to long the option. Since the regime where the market maker is short is the predominant regime empirically, this suggests that option hedging indeed can be expected to impact and even destabilize prices. Using the example of the GameStop stock in early 2021, we investigate the predictions of our model on empirical option positions and document that there are indeed instances where explosive trends due to hedging were more likely. In line with other studies of the event, we however also find only limited evidence that option hedging was a main contributor to the observed large-scale price dislocations in this particular case

    This paper examines a problem of worker misallocation into jobs. A theoretical model, allowing for heterogeneous workers and firms, shows that job search frictions generate mismatch between employees and employers. In the empirical analysis, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), the UK household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) and British Cohort Study 1970 (BCS70) data are used to measure the incidence of mismatch, how it changes over time and whether it can be explained by unobserved ability. Results show that (i) the incidence of mismatch increases after the Great Recession. (ii) Individual transitions to/from matching take place due to workers' occupational mobility and over-time skills development. (iii) Employees can find better jobs or their mobility occurs earlier than the aggregate change of skills. (iv) Controlling for individual heterogeneity, measured by cognitive and non-cognitive skill test scores throughout childhood, does not decrease the incidence of mismatch. This suggests that unobserved productivity does not generate mismatch in the labour market.

    What drives investment in automation technologies? This paper documents a positive relationship between labor-friendly institutions and investment in industrial robots in a sample of developing and advanced economies. Institutions explain a substantial share of cross-country variation in automation. The relationship between institutions and robots is stronger in sunk cost-intensive industries, where producers are vulnerable to holdup. The result suggests that one reason for producers to invest in automation is to thwart rent appropriation by labor. As a consequence, policies aimed at supporting workers' welfare by increasing their bargaining power might actually reduce their employment opportunities.
