We study intertemporal tradeoffs that health authorities face when considering the control of an epidemic using innovative curative medical treatments. We set up a dynamically controlled susceptible–infected–recovered (SIR) model for an epidemic in which patients can be asymptomatic, and we analyze...

The maximum-likelihood estimator of nonlinear panel data models with fixed effects is asymptotically biased under rectangular-array asymptotics. The literature has devoted substantial effort to devising methods that correct for this bias as a means to salvage standard inferential procedures. The...

There is little systematically collected quantitative empirical data on how much linguistic input children in small-scale societies encounter, with some estimates suggesting low levels of directed speech. We report on an ecologically-valid analysis of speech experienced over the course of a day by...

In this paper we use the enhanced consumption data in the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics (PSID) from 2005–2017 to explore the transmission of income shocks to consumption. We build on the nonlinear quantile framework introduced in Arellano et al. (2017). Our focus is on the estimation of...

Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs,...

When information provided by ecolabels is inaccurate and consumers have ambiguous beliefs about the quality of green products, firms can use their advertising strategy in two ways: by informing consumers of the true quality of green goods in order to increase their belief accuracy, or by...

Trade reduces the effectiveness of climate policies such as carbon pricing when domestic products are replaced by more carbon-intensive imports. We investigate the impact of unilateral carbon pricing on electricity generation in a country open to trade through interconnection lines. We characterize...
