We analyze the effects of environmental regulation on international trade flows. To guide empirical work we extend a standard model of international trade to incorporate pollution and environmental regulation. The model implies a simple cross-country, cross-industry empirical framework to study how...

Existing studies suggest that systemic crises may arise because banks either hold correlated assets, or are connected by interbank lending. This paper shows that common regulation is also a conduit for interbank contagion. One bank’s failure may undermine confidence in the banking regulator’s...

Although consumer attitudes toward corporate social responsibility are positive, socially responsible products are far from gaining significant market shares. Information asymmetries have been identified as contributing to the attitude-behavior gap. Signaling may remedy this market failure. We use...

I present an approach to social science where the controller or social theory is part of the system pointing to the need to go beyond quantum mechanics. This change of point of view from the outside to the inside of social systems implies the need to cope with reflexive mathematical structures...

In this paper, we introduce a multivariate extension of the classical univariate Value-at-Risk (VaR). This extension may be useful to understand how solvency capital requirement computed for a given financial institution may be affected by the presence of additional risks. We also generalize the...

This paper suggests the simple point that “detracking” schools might lead to an increase in income segregation. It studies a model where households care about the school peer group of their children. If ability and income are positively correlated, tracking implies that some high income households...

This paper brings a general network analysis to a wide class of games, including strategic innovation, public goods, investment, and social interactions. The major interest, and challenge, is seeing how network structure shapes outcomes. We have a striking result. Equilib- rium conditions depend on...
