A theory of money needs a proper place for financial intermediaries. Intermediaries diversify risks and create inside money. In downturns, micro-prudent intermediaries shrink their lending activity, fire-sell assets and supply less inside money, exactly when money demand rises. The resulting Fisher...

Easy availability of stations serving alternative fuels is an obvious concern for customers considering to buy a “green” car. Yet, the supply of fuel is seldom considered when analyzing the problem of fostering the adoption of environmentally friendly vehicles. I develop and estimate a joint model...

This paper estimates the effect of globalisation on nutritional components of the diet and health outcomes using a panel dataset of 70 countries spanning 42 years (1970-2011). Our key methodological contribution is the application of the grouped fixed effects estimator developed by Bonhomme and...

Many machine learning and statistics problems are traditionally cast as convex optimization problems. A common difficulty in solving these problems is the size of the data, where there are many observations ("large n") and each of these is large ("large p"). In this setting, online algorithms such...

This paper proposes a powerful alternative to the t-test in linear regressions when the regressor of interest is not observed. We assume there are two contaminated measurements of the regressor of interest. The two corresponding measurement errors may each possess arbitrary correlation with the...

This paper evaluates a Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) program in western Uganda that offered forest-owning households cash payments if they conserved their forest. The program was implemented as a randomized trial in 121 villages, 60 of which received the program for two years. The PES...

We introduce a game theory model of individual decisions to cooperate by contributing personal resources to group decisions versus by free riding on the contributions of other members. In contrast to most public-goods games that assume group returns are linear in individual contributions, the...

To investigate two consumer-choice applications, this research uses the Pinkse, Slade, and Brett distance-metric (DM) method, which frames cross-product substitution as a function of relative distance in physical or virtual attribute space. The first application investigates the demand for health-...
