Considering a real-valued diffusion, a real-valued reward function and a positive discount rate, we provide an algorithm to solve the optimal stopping problem consisting in finding the optimal expected discounted reward and the optimal stopping time at which it is attained. Our ap- proach is based...

While immigration of unskilled workers often generates controversy in the political arena, there is often more consensus in favor of selective immigration policies. This paper studies the effects of selective immigration policies on the labor market. High skilled immigration introduces two...

We put forward the idea that news and uncertainty are closely connected. More specifically, news about future events, whose effects are not perfectly predictable, generate uncertainty. The combination of news and uncertainty makes the effects of news shocks nonlinear. We propose a simple procedure...

We examine a dynamic disclosure model in which the value of an asset follows a random walk. An agent learns with some probability the asset value at any point in time in and decides whether to disclose it. He maximizes market perceptions of the asset’s value that reflect the information that was...

Using the staggered liberalization of access to foreign capital across highly disaggregated Indian industries, we show that reducing capital misallocation increases aggregate productivity. The natural policy experiment allows us to credibly identify changes in firms' input wedges, addressing major...

I model International climate agreements among asymmetric countries, each of whom must select a profile of CO2 emissions over time. Predictions from this model imply larger reductions by “large” countries, but larger proportional reductions by “small” countries. I then analyze experimental data...

The recent proliferation of types of humans known from the fossil record has made the question of why only one species survives today especially intriguing. In this talk I will return to the much debated question of the cognitive differences between Homo sapiens and all other members of Homo,...
