The Dynamic Interplay of Inequality and Trust - An Experimental Study
Greiner, Ben - 2008
We study the interplay of inequality and trust in a dynamic game, in which trust increases efficiency and thus allows higher growth of the experimental economy in the future. We find that trust is initially high in a treatment starting with equal endowments, but decreases over time. In a...

Estimating Fixed Effects Stochastic Frontier Panel Models Under ‘Wrong’ Skewness with an Application to Health Care Efficiency in Germany
Haschka, Rouven E.; Wied, Dominik - 2022
Typically, the error term in stochastic frontier models is assumed to be positively skewed; however, efficiency scores are biased if this assumption is violated. This paper considers the case in which also negative skewness is allowed in the model. In contrast to other approaches, this skewness is...

How do low-income enrollees in the Affordable Care Act marketplaces respond to cost-sharing?
Lavetti, Kurt; DeLeire, Thomas C.; Ziebarth, Nicolas R. - 2019
The ACA requires insurers to provide cost-sharing reductions (CSRs) to low-income consumers on the marketplaces. We link 2013-2015 All-Payer Claims Data to 2004-2013 administrative hospital discharge data from Utah and exploit policy-driven differences in the value of CSRs that are solely...

Dou, Winston - 2020
We analyze the quantitative asset-pricing implications of peers' strategic rivalry by embedding oligopolistic competition within an endowment economy. Rivalry intensity increases endogenously as the discount rate rises or expected growth declines, because peers care less about future...
