We study the fluctuating performance of characteristic-sorted portfolios through the lens of a statistical model that allows for persistent variation in expected returns. The model provides a simple formula for adjusting the standard errors of unconditional (or long-run) expected return estimates;...

We introduce weak barycenters of a family of probability distributions, based on the recently developed notion of optimal weak transport of mass. We provide a theoretical analysis of this object and discuss its interpretation in the light of convex ordering between probability measures. In...

We study the impact of the Roman Inquisition on science during the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries. A structural model of occupation and location decisions enables the quantification of causal mechanisms and counterfactual historical experiments in a setting where a reduced-...
