Applied work often studies the effect of a binary variable (“treatment”) using linear models with additive effects. I … study the interpretation of the OLS estimands in such models when treatment effects are heterogeneous. I show that the …

We study a small open economy displaying Pareto-distributed wealth resulting from random death. The government runs a distribution scheme on inheritance. We present the mathematical background that allows to study the dynamics of means. We end up with ordinary differential equations for the mean...

In this paper we focus on specification of revenue functions in their dual price space. We consider two distance functions, both dual to the revenue function: Shephard output distance function and the directional output distance function, both in price space. The former is multiplicative,...

Using the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, we derive both a Keynes-Ramsey rule and a closed form solution for an optimal consumption-investment problem with labor income. The utility function is unbounded and uncertainty stems from a Poisson process. Our results can be derived because of the...

Very precise and intuition-building results are obtained by working with models which provide closed …Properties of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models can be revealed by either using numerical solutions or …-form solutions. Closed-form solutions are known for a large class of models some of which, however, have some undesirable features …

This paper analyses the direct and indirect trade volume and trade cost effects of uncertainty on international trade and economic welfare using a structural gravity framework for a panel of 97 developed and developing countries from 2000 to 2018. Our results suggest that an increase in...
