When a large number of moment restrictions is available there may be restrictions that are more important or credible than others. In these situations it might be desirable to weight each restriction based on our beliefs. This is automatically implemented by a Bayesian procedure. We study, in this...

We use new data to examine the effects of giant oilfield discoveries around the world since 1946. On average, these discoveries increase per capita oil production and oil exports by up to 50 percent. But these giant oilfield discoveries also have a dark side: they increase the incidence of internal...

This paper extends Onatski, Moreira and Hallin's (2011) study of the power of high-dimensional sphericity tests to the case of multiple symmetry- breaking directions. Simple analytical expressions for the asymptotic power envelope and the asymptotic powers of previously proposed tests are de- rived...

The study of probability measures verifying prescribed marginal constraints is a wide topic, with many applications in statistics and has been extensively studied. In particular, the study of the problem of minimization on a set of prescribed marginal in the sense of relative entropy plays a basic...

We consider a competitive financial market in which companies engage in strategic financial reporting knowing that investors only pay attention to finitely many aspects of firms' reports and extrapolate from their sample. We investigate the extent to which stock prices differ from the fundamental...

In a period of rapid integration and accelerated growth in emerging markets, three striking trends have been (1) a divergence in the private saving rates of emerging markets and advanced economies, (2) large net capital outflows from emerging markets, and (3) a sustained decline in the world...

The aim of this talk is to provide an introduction to some key concepts and results in evolutionary game theory. In particular, we will discuss the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy, the replicator dynamic, and deterministic and stochastic population dynamics in finite normal-form games...
