Reclassification risk is a major concern in health insurance. Regulation, like the ACA, prescribes community rating to contend with reclassification risk. However, community rating comes at the cost of adverse selection. We use a rich data set with individual-level information on health risk to...

This paper introduces a novel empirical approach to study the role of an informational friction limiting the reallocation of credit after a shock to banks. Because lenders use their private information about their borrowers when deciding which relationship to end, borrowers left looking for a new...

A number of developing and emerging economies subsidize households’ energy bills by heavily taxing energy prices for their industries, raising concerns of their international competitiveness. Our study revisits the question of how much energy costs affect a country’s exports. Unlike the approach...

We use 130 years of data on historical migrations to the United States to show a causal effect of the ancestry composition of US counties on foreign direct investment (FDI) sent and received by local rms. To isolate the causal effect of ancestry on FDI, we build a simple reduced-form model of...

In this paper we discuss the estimation of a nonparametric component f1 of a nonparametric additive model Y = f1(X1) + ... + fq(Xq) + ". We allow the number q of additive components to grow to infinity and we make sparsity assumptions about the number of nonzero additive components. We compare this...

In this paper we unify existing theories and empirical evidence on the origins of obesity and examine the effects of fiscal policy on the dynamic evolution of weight. We build a dynamic general equilibrium growth model, with two sectors, one producing food and the other producing a composite...

We develop methods of empirical welfare analysis in multinomial choice settings, under completely general consumer heterogeneity and income effects. Our results pertain to three practically important scenarios, viz., (i) simultaneous price-change of multiple alternatives, (ii) introduction/...
