The purpose of this study is to uncover the impacts of macroeconomic risks on oil price uncertainty. We consider three sub-periods, the 2008 global financial crisis, post-global financial crisis, and COVID-19 crisis. A quantile regression model is employed to investigate the related impacts...

This paper explores the estimation of a class of life-cycle discrete choice intergenerational models. It proposes a new semiparametric estimator. It shows that it is root-N-consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. We compare our estimator with a modified version of the full solution...

We study the impact of income taxation on intergenerational income correlation. We estimate a life cycle dynastic model and conduct counterfactual analysis to observe the effects of various tax regimes. Compared to a no tax environment, a flat tax regime reduces the correlation only by one...

With international commitments to reduce CO2 emissions by 50-70% by 2030 and 100% by 2050-2070, the search for cost-efficient tools continues. CO2 taxes are theoretically efficient and simple, but they face public resistance. Renewable energy sources like wind power can substitute CO2 taxes, but...
