We study strategic transmission of information about an issue which is not easily verifiable, such as climate change, in a population consisting of two types of agents. A single agent is targeted and learns the true state of the world. Information about the state of the world is then diffused in a...

We develop and estimate a life-cycle model in which individuals make decisions about consumption, human capital investment, and labor supply. Retirement arises endogenously as part of the labor supply decision. The model allows for both an endogenous wage process through human capital investment (...

We study a dynamic setting in which a firm chooses its debt maturity structure endogenously over time without commitment. In our model, the firm keeps its promised outstanding bond face-values constant, but can control the firm’s maturity structure via the fraction of newly issued short-term bonds...
