Star Wars : the empirics strike back
Brodeur, Abel; Lé, Mathias; Sangnier, Marc; … - 2013
Journals favor rejection of the null hypothesis. This selection upon tests may distort the behavior of researchers. Using 50,000 tests published between 2005 and 2011 in the AER, JPE, and QJE, we identify a residual in the distribution of tests that cannot be explained by selection. The...

The dynamics of market insurance, insurable assets, and wealth accumulation

Consumers and the brain drain : product design and the gains from emigration
Kuhn, Peter Joseph (contributor);  … - 2008
We consider the welfare effects of skilled worker emigration in a context where skilled labor plays a role in product design. We show such emigration can benefit the residents left behind, even when consumers' tastes exhibit a form of home bias. This is because emigration improves the design of...
