We examine the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on bank liquidity hoarding. We create a comprehensive measure of bank liquidity hoarding that takes into account asset-, liability-, and off-balance sheet activities. Using over one million bank-quarter observations, we find that in...

This paper investigates the effects of uncertainty emanating from technological improvements on the optimal lifetime of assets. In does so in a dynamic model in which: a) technological change increases continuously the productivity of producers' durables, b) potential competition induces firms...

We study how aversion to risk and ambiguity affects the adoption of new technologies by Ghanaian smallholder … aquafarmers. We conduct a set of field experiments designed to elicit farmers' risk and ambiguity preferences and combine it with … surveybased information on their technology adoption decisions. We find that aquafarmers who are more risk-averse were quicker to …
