Changes in risk and the demand for saving
Eeckhoudt, Louis R. (contributor);  … - 2008
How does risk affect saving? Empirical work typically examines the effects of detectible differences in risk within the data. How these differences affect saving in theoretical models depends on the metric one uses for risk. For labor-income risk, second-degree increases in risk require prudence...

Breaking bad : supply chain disruptions in a streamlined agent based model
Delli Gatti, Domenico; Grugni, Elisa - 2021
We explore the macro-financial consequences of the disruption of a supply chain in an agent based framework characterized by two networks, a credit network connecting banks and firms and a production network connecting upstream and down-stream firms. We consider two scenarios. In the first one,...

Fishing for excuses and performance evaluation
Larmande, François; Ponssard, Jean-Pierre - 2014
We study a principal-agent model in which the agent can provide ex post additional relevant information regarding his performance. In particular, he can provide a legitimate excuse, that is, evidence that a poor result is only due to factors outside his control. However, building a convincing...

Simulation and estimation of hedonic models
Heckman, James J. - 2003
Making use of restrictions imposed by equilibrium, theoretical progress has been made on the nonparametric and semiparametric estimation and identification of scalar additive hedonic models (Ekeland, Heckman, and Nesheim, 2002) and scalar nonadditive hedonic models (Heckman, Matzkin, and...

SCARE: when economics meets epidemiology with COVID-19
Palma, André de; Picard, Natalie; Proost, Stef - 2020
We develop an epidemic model to explain and predict the dynamics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and to assess the economic costs of lockdown scenarios. The standard epidemic three-variable model, SIR (Susceptible, Infected and Removed) is extended into a five-variable model SCARE: Susceptible, Carrier,...
