The Fourier transform truncated on [−c, c] is usually analyzed when acting on L 2 (−1/b, 1/b) and its right-singular vectors are the prolate spheroidal wave functions. This paper considers the operator acting on the larger space L 2 (cosh(b·)) on which it remains injective. We give nonasymptotic...

We propose informational spillovers as a new rationale for the use of multiple policy instruments to mitigate a single externality. We investigate the design of a pollution standard when the firms’ abatement costs are unknown and emissions are taxed. A firm might abate pollution beyond what is...

We analyze the problem of allocating irrigation water among het- erogenous farmers when water supply is stochastic. If farmers are risk-neutral, a spot market for water is e¢ cient; while the oft-used uniform rationing system is ine¢ cient, both ex-ante and ex-post. In- deed, we show that it leads...

We look at how social norms regarding health affect the dynamics of an epi-demic of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). We present an overlapping generations model in which agents live for three periods (childhood, adulthood and old age). Adulthood consumption choices have an impact on the...

We define a disastrous default as the default of a systemic entity, which has a negative effect on the economy and is contagious. Bringing macroeconomic structure to a no-arbitrage asset pricing framework, we exploit prices of disaster-exposed assets (credit and equity derivatives) to extract...
