We develop a theoretical framework in order to investigate the link between two recent trends: (i) the rise in cross-country stock market correlations over the past three decades, and (ii) the increase in global foreign direct investment (FDI) positions over the same period. Our objective is...

We study reforms of income tax systems from a political economy perspective. We present a median voter theorem for monotonic tax reforms, i.e. reforms so that the change in the tax burden is a monotonic function of income. We also provide an empirical analysis of tax reforms, with a focus on the US...

Coasts contain a disproportionate share of the world’s population, reflecting historical advantages, but environmental change threatens a reversal of coastal fortune in the coming decades as natural disasters intensify and sea levels rise. This paper considers whether large infrastructure...

Nonparametric additive regression model with some metric-space-valued predictors and Hilbert-space-valued responses is considered. The predictors we consider include finite-dimensional-Hilbert-space-valued predictors and Riemannian-manifold-valued predictors. Those predictors include not only...
