In classic finite population sampling a basic hypothesis is the availability of a unique and complete list of units forming the target population to be used as a sampling frame. One often finds that a frame known to cover approximately all units in the population is one in which sampling is costly...

A two-person infinite-horizon bargaining model where one of the players may have either of two discount factors, has a multiplicity of perfect Bayesian equilibria. Intro- ducing the slightest possibility that either player may be one of a rich variety of stationary behavioral types singles out a...

In a Bertrand duopoly model, we study firms’ eco-labeling behavior when certification process imperfectly signals environmental product quality to consumers. The test is noisy in the sense that brown products may be labeled while green products may not be. We study how strategic interaction shapes...

Recently a small and growing empirical literature has attempted to analyze the role that quality plays in our understanding of trade. In particular, the recent work of Khandelwal (2010) has brought the insights of structural IO models of demand to bear into trade data. Our work builds on this new...

Does macroeconomic uncertainty increase or decrease aggregate growth and asset prices? To address this question, we decompose aggregate uncertainty into `good' and `bad' volatility components, associated with positive and negative innovations to macroeconomic growth. We document that in line with...

Mollification is a standard way to approximate functions in various senses. In the past two or three decades, the notion of mollification has also been used to solve ill-posed linear equations. A corner stone in the development of this idea is probably the well-known approximate inverses,...
