We provide a Keynesian growth theory in which pessimistic expectations can lead to permanent, or very persistent, slumps characterized by unemployment and weak growth. We refer to these episodes as stagnation traps, because they consist in the joint occurrence of a liquidity and a growth trap. In a...

Using a unique individual-level dataset of children’s preschool lead levels linked with future educational outcomes for children in...

Decision-making under uncertainty depends not only on preferences, endow- ments and constraints but also on subjective probabilities. We elicit from a sample of farmers their beliefs about the timing of the onset of the monsoon, which signals the optimal time to plant. We assess the accuracy of...
