Abstract:	This thesis comprises three essays investigating the role of connections and personal experiences on firms’ and individuals’ decisions. In the first two chapters, I investigate how governance networks affect the transmission of information among competitors and their implications on product market outcomes. The third chapter contributes to the literature on the effects of personal experiences on individuals’ patience and savings behavior.
