How do parents choose to allocate investments across children? Do they maximize the returns to their investments (total household earnings), or equalize across their children because of an aversion to cross-sibling inequality? In this paper, we conduct the first experiment that identies parents'...

Structures admitted by models of processes in which discrete variables are simultaneously determined can deliver multiple, unique or no solutions depending on the values of parameters and realizations of unobserved and observed exogenous variables. Methods introduced in Chesher and Rosen (2017) are...

We analyze a moral hazard problem where both contracting parties have imprecise information (non-probabilistic uncertainty) about how actions translate to output. Agent has (weakly) more precise information than Principal, and both seek robust performance from a contract in relation to their...

Financing an investment off-balance sheet gives a bank the option, but not the obligation, to voluntarily support debt repayments using its on-balance sheet funds when the investment fails. Such exibility, which is absent with on-balance sheet funding, allows the bank to signal information about...
