Identity is an important determinant of economic behavior. A limitation of the existing literature is the focus on one identity dimension at a time. We show that the multiplicity of identity dimensions matters for economic behavior and that neglecting it may lead policy makers to overlook important...

In this talk, random sampling theory will be discussed in several different settings.

Labor market outcomes demonstrate considerable variation by skill. We construct a general equilibrium model with incomplete markets and ex-ante skill-differences that matches these facts. We study the role of skill-differences in choosing the generosity of Unemployment Insurance (UI) in the model....

Signal-jamming models are often used to explain certain features in the behaviour of firms, politicians and employees as attempts to influence an observer. However it is not clear whether such signal-jamming is effective because in equilibrium the observer rationally adjust for them. We analyse a...
