Tropical convex sets have arisen in various guises. They can be obtained as limits of classical polyhedra, or as images by the valuation of polyhedra over the field of Puiseux series. We shall review some basic problems and results in tropical convexity, emphasizing the application to dynamic...

Using data on US publicly quoted companies from 2003 to 2012, we investigate whether knowing at least one of the sitting board members increases the probability of being hired by this board as an outside director. We use data on the past employment history of candidates to discover whether or not...

We use a natural experiment in the form of staggered changes in corporate income tax rates across U.S. states to show that tax considerations are a first-order determinant of firms’ capital structure choices. Over the period 1990-2011, firms increase long-term leverage by 116 basis points on...

The stability of the labor share is a key foundation in macroeconomic models. We document, however, that the global labor share has significantly declined over the last 30 years. This decline was associated with a significant increase in corporate saving, generally the largest component of national...

We consider the problem of exponential utility indifference valuation under the simplified framework where traded and nontraded assets are uncorrelated but where the claim to be priced possibly depends on both. Traded asset prices follows a multivariate Black and Scholes model, while non traded...
