The increasing demand for reliable small area statistics has led to the development of a number of efficient model-based small area estimation (SAE) methods (Rao, 2003). For example, the empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) based on a linear mixed model (LMM) is often recommended when...

In this paper we propose an experimental design to compare the impact of monitoring on cooperation in infinitely repeated games. More specifically, we study a prisoner's dilemma, with randomly termination, in the laboratory. Three monitoring structures are investigated, while keeping fixed the...

Motivated by individuals’ emotional response to risk at different time horizons, we model an ‘anxious’ agent – one who is more risk averse with respect to imminent risks than distant risks. Such preferences describe well-documented features of (i) individual behavior, (ii) equilibrium prices, and (...

Flipping a coin instead of making a decision is a violation of most theories of choice. Expected utility and most of its relatives obey stochastic dominance, implying that the decision-maker prefers receiving the best outcome for sure over all lotteries that involve multiple outcomes. This...

Using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), we document that recalls of former employees are very frequent and associated with dramatically different unemployment and post-unemployment outcomes, relative to those of separated workers who change employer. Specifically,...

This paper presents the first empirical test of the green paradox hypothesis, according to which well-intended but imperfectly implemented environmental policies may lead to detrimental outcomes due to supply side responses. We use the introduction of the Acid Rain Program in the U.S. as a case...

This paper considers nonparametric identification of a two-stage entry and bidding model for auctions which we call the Affiliated-Signal (AS) model. This model assumes that potential bidders have private values, observe imperfect signals of their true values prior to entry, and choose whether to...

U.S. households’ debt skyrocketed between 2000 and 2007, and has been falling since. This leveraging (and deleveraging) cycle cannot be accounted for by the liberalization, and subsequent tightening, of credit standards in mortgage markets observed during the same period. We base this conclusion on...

In ill-posed inverse problems, one is often very happy when a given regularization scheme converges rapidly (in some sense) to the exact solution as some regularization parameter converges to zero. It is taken for granted that algorithms for solving the regularized problem converge rapidly to the...
