In this talk we describe a B-spline estimator of a generator (Pickands dependence function) of a bivariate extreme-value copula. The estimator is built upon an A-plot -- a recently introduced graphical tool for assessing whether the underlying dependence structure displays extreme tail behavior. An...

This paper analyzes how countries with international and local truck traffic decide to switch from a fuel tax system only to a dual system of fuel taxes and kilometer charging. We show what drives one country to switch and how this affects the level of fuel taxes and the incentives for the other...

Dans cet exposé, nous nous intéresserons à un problème de maximisation d'utilité où l'horizon de temps est aléatoire. Ce type de problème est motivé par les questions d'évaluation d'actifs et de couverture dans le contexte du risque de crédit. Nous commenterons tout d'abord la littérature sur le...

Problems of optimal natural resource extraction that were first addressed by economists in the contexts of fisheries and forests have reemerged in the context of a newly recognized resource: antibiotic effectiveness. This review introduces economists to the growing literature on optimal use,...

In many cases consumers cannot observe firms' collective investment in quality, but have only perceptions of it. The outcome of the collective investment game of the firms is stochastic since firms cannot control perfectly all factors that may affect production. In such situations, we characterize...

Abstract: Is American college education too general? This paper explores the role broad college curriculums play in helping students discover their com- parative advantage. We model higher education as an exploration-exploitation tradeoff: broad, multi-subject education helps students discover...

Nonparametric identification results for scalar nonseparable hedonic models were worked out in Heckman et al. (2010). This paper extends this work to multidimensional hedonic models. A fully nonseparable multidimensional hedonic model is point identified. Identification requires policy invariant...

In this paper, we consider a semiparametric model for lifetime data with competing risks and missing causes of death. We assume that an additive hazards model holds for each cause-specific hazard rate function and that a random right censoring occurs. Our goal is to estimate the regression...
