There is limited public discourse and understanding about the history and science of weather and climate intervention …, climate-related geoengineering is steadily gaining support as a means of combatting rising global temperatures. With climate … climate intervention with the aim of answering the question: Why aren’t more economists interested in evaluating weather and …

We combine exogenous variation in temperature at the county-day level in the U.S. with daily time use data to examine the effect of temperature on joint time use. We show that low temperatures reduce time spent with friends but increase time spent with family. Conversely, high temperatures...

Changes in product characteristics on the extensive margin are an important and hitherto neglected dimension of quality change. Standard techniques for quality-adjusting price indices cannot handle such changes satisfactorily, which leads to an economically and statistically significant bias in...

We develop a programming algorithm that predicts a balanced-panel mix-adjusted house price index for arbitrary spatial … sparse. To illustrate the functionality, we generate a panel of German property prices and rents that is unprecedented in its …

We focus on the housing market and examine why nonlocal home buyers (NLBs) pay 15 percent more for houses than local home buyers (LBs). We estimate a housing demand model that returns heterogeneous willingness to pay parameters for housing attributes. Our results show that NLBs are willing to...

We use four incentivized representative surveys to study the endowment effect for lotteries in 4,000 U.S. adults. We replicate the standard finding of an endowment effect–the divergence between Willingness to Accept (WTA) and Willingness to Pay (WTP), but document three new findings. First, we...
