I study how economies adjust when institutional capacity is limited. My work develops the concept of adaptive misallocation: when environments that sustain coordination or rebuilding are weak, decentralised substitution alters the equilibrium path of reallocation and generates persistent efficiency losses. I combine experimental variation, large-scale administrative data, and allocation frameworks to identify how constraints propagate through equilibrium outcomes.
