This paper proposes a method to address the longstanding problem of lack of monotonicity in estimation of conditional and structural quantile functions, also known as the quantile crossing problem. The method consists in sorting or monotone rearranging the original estimated non-monotone curve...

This paper exhibits a duality between the theory of revealed preference of Afriat and the housing allocation problem of Shapley and Scarf. In particular, it is shown that Afriat’s theorem can be interpreted as a second welfare theorem in the housing problem. Using this duality, the revealed...

We propose amultivariate extension of awell-known characterization by S.Kusuoka of regular and coherent risk measures as maximal correlation functionals. This involves an extension of the notion of comonotonicity to random vectors through generalized quantile functions.Moreover, we propose to...

This paper studies efficient risk-sharing rules for the concave dominance order. For a univariate risk, it follows from a comonotone dominance principle, due to Landsberger and Meilijson (1994), that efficiency is characterized by a comonotonicity condition. The goal of the paper is to...

Cet article illustre le lien entre identification partielle dans les modèles économétriques et critères de décision de Jaffray dans l'incertain non probabilisé à travers l'univers du choix de niveau optimal d'émissions toxiques dans un lac partagé entre deux communes.

La crise, apparue lors de l’été 2007, n’est pas une crise de la finance ou celle du capitalisme financier (qu’est-ce d’ailleurs qu’un capitalisme non financier ?). Elle est simplement une crise du capitalisme. Comment qualifier autrement un processus qui a combiné faillite de...

We investigate a model of one-to-one matching with transferable utility when some of the characteristics of the players are unobservable to the analyst. We allow for a wide class of distributions of unobserved heterogeneity, subject only to a separability assumption that generalizes Choo and...
