Following the Great Recession, U.S. government debt levels ended up well over 100% of output. We develop a dynamic general equilibrium model to evaluate the role of various shocks during and after the Great Recession; shocks directly affecting the labor market are found to have the greatest impact...

We propose a new abstract definition of equilibrium in the spirit of competitive equilibrium: a profile of alternatives and a public ordering (expressing prestige, price, or a social norm) such that each agent prefers his assigned alternative to all lower-ranked ones. The equilibrium operates in an...

This paper develops a prior-free version of Markowitz (1952)'s efficient portfolio theory that allows the decision maker to express preferences over risk and reward, even though she is unable to express a prior over potentially non-stationary returns. The corresponding optimal allocation strategies...

We examine the distributional effects of changes in local air pollution from driving electric vehicles in the United States. We employ an econometric model to estimate power plant emissions and an integrated assessment model to value damages in air pollution from both electric and gasoline vehicles...

The Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, Tasmania (often called, ever since its opening five years ago, the most interesting new art museum for decades, or simply the most interesting art museum in the world; its average visitor time is longer than for any other art museum, including the Louvre)...

We use a hypothetical choice methodology to estimate preferences for workplace attributes, and quantify how much these preferences influence pre-labor market human capital investments. This method robustly identifies preferences for various job attributes, free from omitted variable bias and...
