We estimate the sensitivity of investment to the cost of outside equity for young firms. For estimation, we exploit differences across firms in eligibility to a new tax relief program for individual outside investors in the UK. On average, investment increases 1.6% in response to a 10% drop in the...

We demonstrate how the presence of an informal sector can sharply lower the cost of environmental and energy tax policy. Our analytical model illustrates two mechanisms by which environmental taxes can improve the efficiency of the tax system through interactions with the informal sector. First, a...

Why do people give when asked, but actively avoid situations in which they will be asked? Pay relatively little attention to how much good they do with their giving? We will briefly discuss a range of puzzles about altruistic giving and review a game theoretic explanation (discussed last Friday by...

By now, there is extensive evidence that exposure to hunger and malnutrition early in life is associated with a high mortality rate at advanced ages. However, it is a recurring issue to what extent these findings are affected by selective fertility. In the literature, famines are used as natural...

Le transport optimal est outil puissant pour obtenir des inégalités de concentration, des inégalités géométriques de type Prekopa-Leindler ou bien des inégalités d'entropie-production d'entropie facturant la vitesse de relaxation de flots de la chaleur. Au cours de cet exposé sera présentée une...

The objective of the TSE Student Workshop is to introduce work done by TSE PhD students and to promote interactions between researchers and PhD students. During this day selected students will give a short presentation (20 minutes) of his or her work, which will be followed by a short discussion (5...

We develop inference methods about long-run comovement of two time series. The parameters of interest are defined in terms of population second-moments of low-frequency trends computed from the data. These trends are similar to low-pass filtered data and are designed to extract variability...

We analyze the consequences for liquidity provision of competing market makers operating at high frequency. Competition increases overall liquidity and deters the fast market maker's use of order flow signals. Using various liquidity metrics, we find that the market maker provides more liquidity as...

We conduct an artefactual field experiment in which 164 managers and senior advisors recruited from Swedish industry were presented with a task of maximizing net revenue from abatement investments under three different but equally stringent environmental policy regimes. We find that investment...
