More than 40% of US grain is used for energy due to the Renewable Fuels Mandate (RFS). There are no studies of the global distributional consequences of this purely domestic policy. Using micro-level survey data, we trace the effect of the RFS on world food prices and their impact on household...

Social norms comparisons are tools that are being used more and more often by energy and water utilities all over the world in order to induce households to conserve resources. Such conservation programs are appealing to utilities since they are an easy-to-implement alternative to raising prices...

The traditional quantification of free motions on Euclidean spaces into the Laplacian is revisited as a complex intertwining obtained through Doob transforms with respect to complex eigenvectors. This approach can be applied to free motions on finitely generated discrete Abelian groups: ℤm, with m...

We study platform markets in which the information about users' preferences is dispersed. First, we show how the dispersion of information introduces idiosyncratic uncertainty about participation decisions and how the latter shapes the elasticity of the demands and the equilibrium prices. We then...

We test whether social comparison nudges can promote water-saving behaviour among farmers as a complement to traditional CAP measures. We conducted a randomised controlled trial among 200 farmers equipped with irrigation smart meters in South-West France. Treated farmers received weekly information...

Long-lasting, romantic partnerships are a universal feature of human societies, but almost as ubiquitous is the risk of instability when one partner strays. Jealous response to the threat of infidelity is well studied, but most empirical work on the topic has focused on a proposed sex difference in...

Despite the importance of expectiles in fields such as econometrics, risk management, and extreme value theory, expectile regression unfortunately so far remains limited to single-output problems. To improve on this, we define hyperplane-valued multivariate expectiles that show strong advantages...

Investment in wind power has grown remarkably in the past decades in Portugal. Although economic development is an argument for investment incentive policies, little evidence exists as to their net impact on local-level unemployment. Using a panel of all 278 Portuguese mainland municipalities for...

In an election, the vote shares by party on a given subdivision of a territory form a vector with positive components adding up to 1 called a composition. Using a conventional multiple linear regression model to explain this vector by some factors is not adapted for at least two reasons: the...

Successes of law enforcement in apprehending offenders are often publicized events. Such events have been found to result in temporary reductions in offending, or “residual deterrence”. We provide a theory of residual deterrence which accounts for the incentives of both enforcement officials and...
