In the context of high and rising rates of parental employment in Australia, we investigated whether poor quality jobs (without security, control, flexibility or paid family leave) could pose a health risk to employed parents' children. We examined the extent to which both mothers' and fathers'...

In this paper I study computational procedures of finding the set of payoff achieved in an equilibrium of a risk sharing Kocherlakota (1996) game. Instead of using some procedure involving iterations on the sets using an APS operator, I interpret the game as a renegotiable contract and then...

This paper examines the impact of trading constraints on market participation when agents learn about their investment opportunities. The possibility of facing binding constraints in the future creates a feedback that can keep agents out of the market even if the risk premium is high. This...

This paper shows that the market reaction to a trade depends on the identity of the broker initiating the trade, controlling for the known determinants of the permanent price impact. I combine microstructure data with investor trading records to reconstruct brokers' customer bases and to examine...

This paper examines the complete trading records of all day traders in Finland. A typical day trader is a male in his late 30s, who lives in the metropolitan area and trades in larger quantities than an investor in a size-matched control group even after ignoring day trades. These traders...

When agents can learn about their abilities as active investors, they rationally quot;trade to learnquot; even if they expect to lose from active investing. The model used to develop this insight draws conclusions that are consistent with empirical study of household trading behavior:...

When liquidity is measured by the bid-ask spread or price impact, markets with more trading activity are typically more liquid than markets with less trading activity. But showing a causal connection from trading activity to spreads is difficult because these variables are endogenous. In the...
