Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we study how the aucovariance structure of wages and earnings differs under different contractual arrangements. We divide jobs on the basis of whether they pay for performance, and whether they are covered by collective bargaining agreements....

This paper characterizes a subset of equilibrium payoffs for Markovian games with private information as the discount factor vanishes. Monitoring might be imperfect, transitions may depend on the action profile, types might be correlated or not, values can be private or interdependent. It focuses...

We develop a theory that gives rise to an endogenous unit of account. Agents enter into non-contingent contracts with a variety of business partners. Trade unfolds sequentially in credit chains and is subject to random matching. By using a dominant unit of account, agents can lower their exposure...

Certification schemes for credence goods can be binary in structure or have multiple tiers. We present a theory explaining how standard-setting organizations choose between these two forms, and compare the differing incentives of industry trade associations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs...

I try to determine under which conditions the political process might lead low-skilled individuals to finance the education of higher-skilled individuals, while allowing for repayment of these transfers in the form of labor income redistribution. It can be seen that such a scheme would be socially...
