This paper develops a dynamic model of schooling and occupational choices that incorporates personality traits, as measured by the so-called “big five" traits. The model is estimated using the longitudinal HILDA dataset from Australia. Personality traits are found to play a critical role in...

We study optimal transport networks in spatial equilibrium. We develop a framework con-sisting of a neoclassical trade model with labor mobility in which locations are arranged on agraph. Goods must be shipped through linked locations, and transport costs depend on con-gestion and on the...

Informational interventions to incentivize pro-environmental behavior (e.g. internalize externalities) are becoming increasingly popular and widespread. In this work, we study a novel sort of intervention that attempts to leverage our tendency to follow the norms prescribed by our self-perceived...

We extend a model of 'stereotyping' by allowing agents to exert control over their perceived identities. The logic of individuals' identity choices induces a positive selection of the more talented individuals into a group with a superior reputation. Thus, the inequality deriving from the...
