The US advantage in per capita output, apparent from the late 19th century, is frequently attributed to its relatively large domestic market. We construct market potential measures for the US and 26 other countries between 1880 and 1913 based on a general equilibrium model of production and trade....

Most developing countries are close to attaining universal primary completion, and enrolment at the secondary level has increased dramatically in the past two decades for most of these countries. Yet the skills learned while in school are disturbingly low compared to the learning that occurs in...

Suppose that individuals make forward-looking decisions based on endogenously evolving states, where econometricians do not observe the state variable, but instead observe noisy signals or proxies of them. Under this setting, we derive closed-form identification of the conditional choice...

The increasing demand for reliable small area statistics has led to the development of a number of efficient model-based small area estimation (SAE) methods (Rao, 2003). For example, the empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) based on a linear mixed model (LMM) is often recommended when...

In this paper we propose an experimental design to compare the impact of monitoring on cooperation in infinitely repeated games. More specifically, we study a prisoner's dilemma, with randomly termination, in the laboratory. Three monitoring structures are investigated, while keeping fixed the...

Motivated by individuals’ emotional response to risk at different time horizons, we model an ‘anxious’ agent – one who is more risk averse with respect to imminent risks than distant risks. Such preferences describe well-documented features of (i) individual behavior, (ii) equilibrium prices, and (...
