This study provides a first set of experimental results highlighting a new mechanism for racial discrimination, based on a cognitive limitation in facial re-identification across races. An experiment is conducted to study how people record and recall payoff-relevant information about others, within...

This paper introduces endogenous and directed technical change in a growth model with environmental constraints and limited resources. A unique final good is produced by combining inputs from two sectors. One of these sectors uses "dirty" machines and thus creates environmental degradation....

This paper uses a unique data set and the exogenous nature of the conflict and resulting displacement in Northern Uganda to examine their impacts on labour market participation. I find that the longer the existence of the Internally Displaced People's camp to which individuals moved, the less men...

This paper provides evidence on the relevance of the mode collection for the analysis of consumption data for the United States using complementary data sets from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CEX). We first show that population figures from consumption reports obtained with diaries markedly...

This paper characterizes the optimal income taxation when individuals respond along both the intensive and extensive margins. Individuals are heterogeneous in two dimensions: their skills and their disutility of participation. Preferences over consumption and work effort can differ with the skill...

Unemployment in an estimated New Keynesian model Following Gali (2009), we introduce unemployment as an observable variable in the estimation of the Smets-Wouters (2007) model. This helps to solve the identification problem of wage mark-up and preference shocks highlighted by Chari, Kehoe and...

This paper proposes a dynamic model of an order driven market with asymmetric information and stochastic fundamental value. In equilibrium, informed traders submit market orders only when they see a fundamental value far from the public price; otherwise, they submit limit orders. Under fairly...

We develop a model of competition between retailer chains with a structural estimation of the demand and supply in the supermarket industry in France. In the model, supermarkets compete in price and brand offer over all food products to attract consumers, in particular through the share of private...

This paper provides empirical evidence on exchange rate pass-through from East Asian and Latin American emerging market economies. Considering external constraints on monetary policy in emerging countries, we propose a VAR model to examine the exchange rate pass-through to domestic prices. We...
