In this paper I embed politically motivated media in a political business cycle model where taxes and spending in the provision of two public goods must be set in order to meet a balanced-budget condition, elections are held every other period, and there is technological uncertainty in the...

This paper studies the interaction between the size of a firm and the labor market outcomes of its workers. In our model, firms are internal labor markets where workers are matched with occupations. The quality of matches is uncertain and learned over time. Larger firms offer more opportunities to...

We investigate what can learned about the coefficients (β,δ) in the linear projection model Y=Xβ+Z′δ+ε from data consisting of two independent random samples with common variables; the first sample gives information on variables (Y,Z) but not X, while the second sample gives information on (X,Z)...

Most existing sample selection models severely restrict the effect heterogeneity of the observed variables on the outcome distribution. In contrast, we allow for essential heterogeneity...
