This paper documents the effect of peers’ incarceration on an individual’s criminal activity among small criminal groups. Starting with people convicted in the same case—and thus considered to be an established criminal group—I built a 48-month panel that records criminal status, imprisonment...

We consider an anonymous game with a continuum of players which takes into account congestion and interaction effects. This model was first developed by Beckmann (1976) in an urban equilibrium framework. We also consider a generalisation of this model to the case when agents are inhomogeneous and...

Firms sometimes comply with externality-correcting policies by gaming the measure that determines policy. We show theoretically that such gaming can benefit consumers, even when it induces them to make mistakes, because gaming leads to lower prices by reducing costs. We use our insights to quantify...

Multivariate regular variation is an important property of a multivariate probability distribution that can be very useful in extreme value statistics. Therefore it is desirable to check this property based on a multivariate random sample. We construct a hypothesis test for multivariate regular...

In survey sampling one samples n individuals from a fixed population of size N according to some sampling design, and for each individual in the sample one observes the value of a particular quantity. On the basis of the observed sample, one is interested in estimating population features of this...
