We propose a stylised dynamic model to understand the role of social networks in the phenomenon we call \globalization." This term refers to the process by which even agents who are geographically far apart come to interact, thus overcoming what would otherwise be a fast saturation of local...

We analytically characterize and quantitatively evaluate the welfare effects of expanding the US PAYG financed social security system in an overlapping generations model with idiosyncratic and aggregate risk. We contrast gains from improved inter-generational risk sharing and...

Tracing back from Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978) many approaches have been proposed to extend the DEA production model to non-convex technologies. The FDH method were introduced by Deprins, Simar and Tulkens (1984) and it only assumes a free disposal assumption of the technology. This paper...

We present a dynamic model of free riding in which n infinitely lived agents choose between private consumption and contributions to a durable public good g. We characterize the set of continuous Markov equilibria in economies with reversibility, where investments can be positive or negative; and...

We estimate willingness to pay for small reductions in the risk of suffering a range of morbid health conditions using a stated-preference survey fielded to an internet panel that is representative of the US population. The adverse health conditions are described using a generic health utility...

We study a repeated principal-agent model with subjective evaluations. We make minimal assumptions on the joint distribution of the principal's output and the agent's private signal. We show that there exists a class of perfect Bayesian equilibrium which approaches efficiency as the discount...
