partial insurance of parental investments against permanent income shocks, but the magnitude of the estimated responses is … small. We cannot reject the hypothesis full insurance against temporary shocks. Another interpretation of our findings is … that there is very little insurance available, but the fact that skill is a non-separable function of parental investments …

We provide a nonparametric revealed preference approach to demand analysis based on homothetic efficiency … homothetic efficiency of consumption choices. It generalises Heufer's (2013) two-dimensional concept to arbitrary dimensions and …

We study risk-based 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 into the UI system. We … combine an event study with a differencein-difference approach applied to Danish register data to quantify the selection. We …

markets with small initial loss sizes, insurers may try to raise these in order to create demand for insurance. After having … defined insurance and non-insurance markets based on the initial loss size, we develop theory to show that insurers with buyer … power have incentives to create insurance markets. Insurer competition will push their profits to zero but markets do not …

We develop a general class of nonparametric tests for treatment effects conditional on covariates. We consider a wide spectrum of null and alternative hypotheses regarding conditional treatment effects, including (i) the null hypothesis of the conditional stochastic dominance between treatment...

This paper develops inference and statistical decision for set-identified parameters from the robust Bayes perspective. When a model is set-identified, prior knowledge for model parameters is decomposed into two parts: the one that can be updated by data (revisable prior knowledge) and the one...

In this paper we employ techniques developed in spatial econometrics to analyse spatial patterns of technology diffusion, to detect clusters and to estimate theoretical models that incorporate space explicitly. These techniques correct for misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial...
