In this paper, we examine the term structures of interest rates and risk premia when the random walk of economic growth is affected by some parametric uncertainty. Using a time-consistent expected utility framework, we show that parametric uncertainty does not affect assets prices of short...

The present paper considers the exploitation of a common- property, non-renewable resource, by individuals concerned with their social status. Assuming that the social status is reflected by the individuals'relative consumptions, we formalize this motivation by means of a utility function,...

L'algorithme des k plus proches voisins est une des plus anciennes méthodes d'apprentissage statistique et reste encore très populaires dans de nombreuses applications de classification supervisée ou de régression. Les premières études statistiques remontent à Györfi [1], Devroye & Wagner [2],...

Bureaucratic behaviour is typically modelled as focussing on citizen welfare, ignoring political concerns that govern the behaviour of politicians. Politicians on the other hand face diff erent incentives across citizens. In some constituencies, politicians face strong competition for their...

Firms can choose how they export: directly or through intermediaries. What are the costs and benefits of such choices? Firms may choose to trade directly, even if this is more costly in the short run, if doing so results in better future outcomes. A policy pursued by China gives us a unique chance...

This paper studies allocation problems with and without monetary transfers, such as multi-unit auctions, school choice, and course assignment. For this class of problems, we introduce a generalized random priority mechanism with budgets (GRP). This mechanism is always ex post incentive compatible...

A recent literature explores many ways in which uncertainty shocks can have important economic effects. But how large are uncertainty shocks and where do they come from? Researchers typically estimate a model with stochastic volatility, using all available data, then condition on the estimated...
