Public goods that benefit everyone are often threatened by defectors that exploit others, typically undermining cooperation and leading to a collapse of the public good. One way to stabilise these public goods is to allow the punishment of defectors. Usually, models are restricted such that only...

Along the ever increasing data size and model complexity, an important challenge frequently encountered in constructing new estimators or in implementing a classical one such as the maximum likelihood estimator, is the computational aspect of the estimation procedure. To carry out estimation,...

We document the evolution of the new market for frequency response within the UK electricity system over a six-year period. Firms competed in price while facing considerable initial uncertainty about demand and rival behavior. We show that over time prices stabilized, converging to a rest point...

How expansionary is government spending? We revisit this classic question by taking into account the distribution across households of taxes used to finance these spending. Using US data from 1913 to 2006, we provide evidence that government spending multipliers are positive only when financed with...

In this paper I introduce the concept of \lq\lq self-justified \rq\rq equilibrium as an alternative to rational expectations equilibrium. In a self-justified equilibrium agents' expectations can be described by finite sets and agents forecast future prices by extrapolation. The expectations are...

We analyze the role of institutional cross-ownership in internalizing corporate governance externalities using data on mutual fund proxy voting. Exploiting the variation in cross-ownership across institutions within a proposal as well as the variation in cross-ownership across firms within a given...
