In developing countries, informal contracting between individuals underlies activity in many markets, such as credit, savings, insurance, land, labor, and irrigation. This paper tests for a potential barrier to such contracting: enforcement problems. We offer to subsidize the cost of irrigation...

For linear inverse problems $Y=\mathsf{A}\mu+\xi$, it is classical to recover the unknown function $\mu$ by an iterative scheme $(\widehat \mu^{(m)}, m=0,1,\ldots)$ and to provide $\widehat\mu^{(\tau)}$ as a result, where $\tau$ is some stopping rule. Stopping should be decided adaptively, that is...

The Kimura Equations was introduced in the 60's by the Japanese geneticist Motoo Kimura and is considered one of the most important models in population genetics. It is a degenerated partial differential equation of drift diffusion type modelling the evolution of the probability distribution among...

We develop a search-theory of asset market liquidity which gives rise to endogenous financing constraints in an otherwise standard dynamic general equilibrium model. Asset liquidity describes the ease of issuance and resaleability of private financial claims for a certain price. We model asset...

We analyze identification of nonseparable models under three kinds of exogeneity assumptions weaker than full statistical independence. The first is based on quantile independence. Selection on unobservables drives deviations from full independence. We show that such deviations based on quantile...

Reclassification risk is a major concern in health insurance. Regulation, like the ACA, prescribes community rating to contend with reclassification risk. However, community rating comes at the cost of adverse selection. We use a rich data set with individual-level information on health risk to...
