Games and Prospects
Rieger, Marc Oliver - Institut für Schweizerisches Bankwesen <Zürich> - 2006
We study how the framework of classical game theory changes when the preferences of the players are described by … Prospect Theory instead of Expected Utility Theory. Specifically, we study the influence of framing effect and probability … the validity of prospect theory as a descriptive model in human behavior. …

Do Factor Shares Reflect Technology?
Bental, Benjamin; Demougin, Dominique - 2005
This note demonstrates that it is easily possible to compute technological parameters out of national income accounting data in the presence of bargaining in the labor market. Applying the method to US data, we obtain that the output elasticity with respect to capital exceed 0.5.

Skill Mismatch in Equilibrium Unemployment
Bachmann, Ronald - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin> - 2005
We analyse the effect of skill mismatch in a search model of equilibrium unemployment with risk-neutral agents, endogenous job destruction, and two-sidedex-ante heterogeneity. First, we examine the interaction of labour market institutions and skill mismatch. We find that skill mismatch changes...
