The economic importance of inheritances and gifts is growing steadily. In 2022, it can be assumed that in Switzerland private assets of close to 90 billion were inherited and given away – compared with 36 billion in 1999 (Brülhart et al., 2018). At the same time, the tax burden on this economic...

This paper considers how far private adaptation may reduce future vulnerability to climate change. Firms’ climate risk exposure depends not only on the location of production, but also on network effects via the flood risk profile of suppliers and transportation links connecting trading partners....

Variational methods are extremely popular in the analysis of network data. Statistical guarantees obtained for these methods typically provide asymptotic normality for the problem of estimation of global model parameters under the stochastic block model. In the present work, we consider the case of...

The fast double bootstrap can improve considerably on the single bootstrap when the bootstrapped statistic is approximately independent of the bootstrap DGP. This is because, among the approximations that underlie the fast double bootstrap (FDB), is the assumption of such independence. In this...

When is a wealth tax preferable to a capital income tax? We study this question theoretically in an infinite-horizon model with entrepreneurs and workers, in which entrepreneurial firms are subject to idiosyncratic productivity shocks and collateral constraints. We focus on the steady state...

Crises of the magnitude of the Covid-19 pandemic may plausibly affect deep-seated attitudes of a large fraction of citizens. In particular, outcome-oriented theories imply that leaders' performance in response to such adverse events shapes people's views about the government and about democracy. To...

We study the optimal design of fraud-proof allocation mechanisms without transfers. The social value of an allocation is correlated with an observable characteristic of agents who get an object. But this characteristic is falsifiable at a cost by the agents. We characterize the optimal...

Is there a systematic mapping between the Federal Reserve’s expectations of macro variables and the words it uses to talk about the economy? We propose a simple framework that allows us to estimate communication rules in the United States based on text analysis with regularized regressions. We find...

Nepal’s location in the Himalayas, and commitment to conservation (e.g., twenty percent of its land area is part of the protected areas system), draw many thousands of tourists, especially eco-tourists who trek to remote areas. This tourism can create economic opportunities but also create a demand...
