I study how institutional constraints shape economic adjustment. When capacity is limited, equilibrium responses are mediated by decentralised reallocation and substitution, which can generate persistent inefficiencies. My research formalises this process as adaptive misallocation and identifies it empirically using experiments and administrative data. I focus on how the internal allocation of capacity within firms and the state governs compliance, service delivery, and production under constraints.
