This paper theoretically investigates the impact of European integration on employment by developing a new-keynesian model where fiscal policy effectively reduces firms' market power. Stronger product market competition is shown to reduce the marginal ability of governments to improve employment...

The class of distortion riskmetrics is defined through signed Choquet integrals, and it includes many classic risk measures, deviation measures, and other functionals in the literature of finance and actuarial science. We obtain characterization, finiteness, convexity, and continuity results on...

This study uses a laboratory experiment to measure how voting behavior and policy outcomes change depending on whether individuals can compete for economic and political status. I find that competing for economic status decreases the intrinsic value placed on political participation, which in...

In our opinion, the benefits of such an approach,...

For many years, the ideas of Knight and Keynes have been widely understood to overlap greatly and they are presumed to have developed notions of uncertainty that deeply intersect, both describing a state where outcomes have non-probabilistic likelihoods. Further, even their political...
