Oil-exporting states occupy a paradoxical position in the international system. Economically, they tend to be highly globalized, meaning dependent on international trade, finance, and labor. They are also the source of the world’s single most valuable commodity, and hence highly influential. Yet...

This paper explores the effect of longer husband's commuting time/distance on: 1) family's time allocation; 2) the spouse's participation and willingness to commute. In a model of family labour supply, we analyze how individual participation costs (namely commuting time) may a ffect the partner's...

Using detailed data on labor supply and daily shocks, we show that the daily supply of manual, physically-demanding labor responds to both unexpected and expected daily demands on income. What's more, we find that the quitting hazard within a given work day increases discontinuously as earned...

Individual players in a simultaneous equation binary choice model act differently in different environments in ways that are frequently not captured by observables and a simple additive random error. This paper proposes a random coeffcient specification to capture this type of heterogeneity in...

We characterize choice rules for schools that regard students as substitutes while at the same time expressing preferences for a diverse student body. The stable (or fair) assignment of students to schools requires the latter to regard the former as substitutes. Such a requirement is in conflict...

In this paper we introduce a new approach to estimating differentiated product demand system that allows for error in market shares as measures of choice probabilities. In particular, our approach allows for products with zero sales in the data, which is a frequent phenomenon that arises in product...

We model a financial market where privately informed investors trade in a limit order book monitored by professional liquidity providers. Price competition between informed limit order submitters and professional market makers allows us to capture tradeoffs between informed limit and market orders...

We consider the nonparametric estimation of the slope function in functional linear regression, where scalar responses are modeled in dependence of random functions. The theory in this presentation covers both the estimation of the slope function or its derivatives (global case) as well as the...
