Disentangling Covid-19, economic mobility, and containment policy shocks

Camehl, Annika; Rieth, Malte - 2021

We study the dynamic impact of Covid-19, economic mobility, and containment policy shocks. We use Bayesian panel … mobility shocks raise cases and deaths significantly for two months. Restrictive policy shocks lower mobility immediately … mobility, cases, and deaths worldwide. These flattened the pandemic curve, while deepening the global mobility recession. The …

Lockdowns as options

Wijnbergen, Sweder van - 2021

I show that the irreversibility of dying coupled with gradual information acquisition over time on the likely arrival and eventual effectiveness of vaccines confers a real option value to lockdown strategies that delay the incidence of a pandemic.The case for lockdown strategies becomes stronger...

Sin city?

Gautier, Pieter; Svarer, Michael; Teulings, Coen N. - 2007

Is moving to the countryside a credible commitment device for couples? Weinvestigate whether lowering the arrival rate of potential alternative partners bymoving to a less populated area lowers the dissolution risk for a sample of Danishcouples. We find that of the couples who married in the...

Marriage and the city

Gautier, Pieter; Svarer, Michael; Teulings, Coen N. - 2005

Do people move to cities because of marriage market considerations? In citiessingles can meet more potential partners than in rural areas. Singles are thereforeprepared to pay a premium in terms of higher housing prices. Once married, themarriage market benefits disappear while the housing...

Alonso's general theory of movement : advances in spatial interaction modeling

Vries, Jacob J. de; Nijkamp, Peter; Rietveld, Piet - 2000

The Spatial Interaction Model proposed by Alonso as "Theory ofMovements" offers a new specification of spatial origin-destination flow models. Equations for flows between regions, totaloutflow from and total inflow to a region are linked bybalancing factors. The paper presents a consistent...

Memory, expectation formation and scheduling choices

Koster, Paul; Peer, Stefanie; Dekker, Thijs - 2014

Limited memory capacity, retrieval constraints and anchoring are central to expectation formation processes. We develop a model of adaptive expectations where individuals are able to store only a finite number of past experiences of a stochastic state variable. Retrieval of these experiences is...

Measuring biases in expectation formation

Peters, Florian; Kucinskas, Simas - 2018

We develop a general framework for measuring biases in expectation formation. The method is based on the insight that biases can be inferred from the response of forecast errors to past news. Empirically, biases are measured by flexibly estimating the impulse response function of forecast...

Bubbles, crashes and information contagion in large-group asset market experiments

Hommes, Cars H.; Kopányi-Peuker, Anita; Sonnemans, Joep - 2019

We experimentally investigate how price expectations are formed in a large asset market where subjects' only task is to forecast the future price of a risky asset. The realized prices depend on these expectations. We observe small (6 participants) and large markets (about 100 participants). In...
