This paper demonstrates that well-established biases in decision making under uncertainty can generate poverty traps. A theoretical framework is developed to demonstrate that: i) probability weighting and ambiguity attitude can lead individuals to erroneously undervalue profitable investments,...

Economic modeling assumes, for the most part, that agents are Bayesian, that is, that they entertain probabilistic beliefs, objective or subjective, regarding any event in question. We argue that the formation of such beliefs calls for a deeper examination and for explicit modeling. Models of...

reduce the computational burden. This consists of proving a sequential update formula that estimates different moments of the … combined distribution and a finite moment problem that reconstructs the distribution from the moments. Based on an example on … the determinants of long-run economic growth, we show that tracking the first four moments of the combined distribution …

Sudden and uncertain events often cause cross-contagion of risk among various sectors of the macroeconomy. This paper … uncertainty risk on macroeconomics. Then, the high-dimensional DSGE model (DSGE-SV-t) is developed to examine the impact of … uncertainty risk on the transmission mechanism among macroeconomic sectors. The empirical research found that uncertainty risk …
