People vary in the degree to which they experience disgust toward—and, consequently, avoid—cues to pathogens. Prodigious work has measured this variation and observed that it relates to, among other things, personality, psychopathological tendencies, and moral and political sentiments. Less work...

We consider a mean field game (MFG) of optimal portfolio liquida- tion under asymmetric information. In the first part we recall the link between optimal liquidation and a (F)BSDE with singular terminal value, when there is only one player ([1], [2] and [3]) Then we will explain how the solution to...

This paper studies how aggregate economic conditions affect marriage markets in developing countries where marriage is regulated by traditional customary norms. We examine how local economic shocks influence the timing of marriage, and particularly child marriage, in Sub-Saharan Africa and in India...

This paper examines how high school specialization shapes college investment decisions and their subsequent returns through dynamic complementarities. Using Swedish administrative data, we estimate a dynamic Roy model that accounts for selection on multidimensional skills, family background, prior...

This paper studies match formation and dissolution in frictional marriage markets under labor market uncertainty. We propose a search model with transferable utility in which ex-ante heterogeneous men and women simultaneously search for partners in the marriage market and switch between employment...

Players often face direct costs of participating in contests due to set-up costs or minimum outlays. In such cases, the outcome can depend upon the `default allocation' - how the prize is awarded if no player actively competes. The existing literature has neglected this issue by implicitly assuming...

We propose the Volume Coefficient of Variation (VCV), the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean of trading volume, as a new and easily computable measure of information asymmetry in security markets. We use a microstructure model to demonstrate that VCV is strictly increasing in the...

Payment for Ecosystem Service (PES) schemes are based on voluntary enrolment by land managers. Such schemes are designed to deliver additional environmental benefits to society relative to a no-payment situation. However, often the effective delivery of environmental benefits depends on spatial...
