Networks where high-degree nodes preferentially connect to other high-degree nodes are called (degree) assortative. Real-world networks often show high assortativity or high disassortativity. Therefore, there is an interest to produce models of networks with predefined assortativity or...

We study selection into a voluntary unemployment insurance (UI) scheme. To disentangle behavioral effects from selection, we exploit variation in the sign-up induced by an early retirement scheme embedded in the UI system. Using Danish register data, we quantify the selection with an event study...

The first experiments on the Beauty Contest game with its best-reply function, "your choice has to be closest to 2/3 of the average," established a bounded rational theory on limited cognition (called level-k). It is about the reasoning of the reasoning of others, originally and famously...

We consider utility as a hedonic reward system shaped by evolution to motivate us to make the best decisions possible. This system gives higher subjective rewards to higher levels of success. We investigate how an optimal reward system would adapt when individuals receive new information about...

In theory, market-based regulatory instruments correct market failures at least cost. However, evidence on their efficacy remains scarce. Using administrative data, we estimate that, on average, the EU ETS – the world’s first and largest market-based climate policy – induced regulated manufacturing...

We study ineciency in the acquisition of private information before trading in financial markets. As the cost of information declines, traders over-invest in information acquisition and trade too much on their private information. Generically, no policy exists based on the price of the financial...
