description: This paper examines the stock market implications of uncertainty about the Fed’s inflation-curbing efforts. We develop a general equilibrium model where investors learn about the Fed’s ability to control inflation. Uncertainty about this ability heightens stock market volatility and the risk premium, particularly during pronounced monetary tightening and easing cycles. This effect is stronger during tightening when investors’ learning amplifies stock reactions to inflation surprises. Moreover, when the Fed loses its inflation control credibility, investors view inflation as more persistent, further increasing the volatility and risk premium. Empirical tests support our model’s predictions, highlighting the importance of investor learning about the Fed’s ability to control inflation in shaping financial markets.

subject: Optimisation

description: A pantograph–catenary system is a critical component of railway systems, which is responsible for powering entire electrified railway networks. To ensure efficient and stable operation of electric trains, maintaining a stable current collection between the pantograph and the catenary is crucial. This doctoral research focuses on optimizing the structural design of pantograph-catenary systems to improve the current collection quality under various operating conditions. The optimization of pantograph-catenary systems is investigated, using advanced algorithms and machine learning to enhance their dynamic performance.

description: We introduce a new measure of own-price inflation uncertainty using firm-level data from a large and representative survey of UK businesses. Inflation uncertainty increased significantly from the start of 2021 and reached a peak in the second half of 2022, even as a similar measure of sales uncertainty declined. We also find large cross-sectional differences in inflation uncertainty, with uncertainty particularly elevated for smaller firms and those in the goods sector. Finally, we show that firms which are more uncertain about their own price expectations experience higher forecast errors 12 months later. These findings suggest that studying inflation uncertainty at the firm level may be an important new dimension to understanding firm performance.

description: This thesis explores the integration of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and Interaction Networks (INs) to simulate voxelized deformable soft-body systems, aiming to bridge the gap between computational efficiency and physical fidelity. The work begins with a theoretical overview of both PINNs and INs, followed by the development of a hybrid neural architecture that augments data-driven message passing with additional physics-based loss terms derived from governing differential equations.The methodology incorporates soft physical constraints into the loss function, including force balance, spring dynamics, boundary constraints, and energy conservation. The deformable system is modeled as a two-dimensional spring-mass lattice subjected to external forces. Experiments are conducted on two benchmark systems: a damped harmonic oscillator and a 2D deformable lattice, with ground-truth trajectories generated using classical numerical solvers. The network is trained using supervised learning and further guided by physics-informed losses. All experiments are implemented in PyTorch, and optimized using the Adam optimizer.The study uses fully synthetic data generated through well-understood mechanical models; no human or animal subjects are involved, and no IRB or ethical approval is required. While the proposed approach does not yet deliver stable simulation performance in large-scale voxelized systems, the results reveal failure modes and training bottlenecks that provide insights for future work on combining neural networks with physical priors for dynamic system modeling.

description: We derive a non-parametric test for statistical discrimination that can be applied to cross-sectional wage data. Specifically, we show that the wage distributions for two groups (with identical observable characteristics) are consistent with a general reduced-form model of statistical discrimination if, and only if, neither wage distribution first-order stochastically dominates the other. Our model allows us to interpret a rejection of this condition as evidence of bias.

Strategic voting equilibria

description: We develop a model of strategic voting in a spatial model with multiple candidates when voters have both expressive and instrumental concerns. The model endogenizes the strategic coordination of voters, yet is flexible enough to allow the analysis of political platform competition by policy-motivated candidates. We fully characterize all strategic voting equilibria in a three-candidate setting. The results upend the standard calculus both for models with purely sincere voters and those where voters have only instrumental concerns, i.e., where voters solely care about pivotality. To illustrate the differences, we analyze a setting with two mainstream and a spoiler candidate, showing that the spoiler can be made better off from entering, even though she has no chance of winning the election and reduces the winning probability of her preferred mainstream candidate.

description: We assessed social preferences toward vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants in a biodiversity hotspot in Chile. We asked respondents (n = 662) to rank species based on their preferences and to select one subset to protect and another subset to remove. We identified four species clusters based on preferences: charismatic animals, plants, less popular animals, and animals that cause phobia/rejection. Preferences to protect were higher in the charismatic animal cluster, whereas preferences to remove were concentrated in the phobic cluster. Stakeholders with environmental occupations selected species to protect from the “less popular animals” and “animals causing phobia” clusters more often than other stakeholders, whereas society in general tended to select species from the “charismatic animals” cluster. Our results suggest that factors different from conservation priorities – like charisma – guide social preferences for biodiversity, and this needs to be considered when planning management actions.

description: BRSE Game est un jeu de plateau créé pour permettre l'appropriation de l'interface du catalogue enrichi des bibliothèques du réseau BRISE enseignement supérieur en septembre 2017.

Il s'agit de proposer une alternative aux traditionnelles présentations d'interface en provoquant une observation active de l'interface par les participants. le rôle de l'animateur est important entre chaque manche pour commenter chaque écran visité.

Mon propos, en publiant ce jeu très simple est de montrer qu'avec les outils élémentaires d'une suite bureautique (éditeur de diapositives et traitement de texte), on peut créer un jeu simple.

Compte tenu de la nature des ressources présentées (notamment ISTEX et BASE), le jeu s'adresse à des étudiants avancés, mais peut-être adapté très facilement pour des étudiants débutants en limitant la présentation à un ou plusieurs aspects du catalogue enrichi.

description: Knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes toward raptors were assessed from July to December 2019 through exploratory research conducted online (n = 278) and in-depth interviews (n = 18) with participants having knowledge of information technologies in urban areas of the Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Most respondents were young (ages 13–37), permanent residents of the cities of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos, and Tulum. We found heterogeneous attitudes toward raptors, including “scientific,” “environmentalist-conservationist,” “aesthetic,” “dominant,” and “utilitarian.” Our results suggest that most participants had a relatively high level of knowledge, positive perceptions, and environmentalist-conservationist attitudes toward raptors, probably due to the nature of the convenient sampling applied. We recommend further studies on human-raptor relations in urban and rural localities of coastal Quintana Roo, including residents of Mayan origins. This information may help support strategies and programs to reduce negative perceptions and indifference toward raptors and might support their conservation in the Mexican Riviera Maya.

description: Worker sorting into tasks and occupations based on their skills plays a potentially important role in aggregate labor productivity. This sorting may be inefficient if job-seekers have inaccurate beliefs about their skills and do not apply to jobs that match their skills. In South Africa, we assess young jobseekers' numeracy and communication skills and find jobseekers' self-perceived and measured comparative advantage persistently differ. In a field experiment, jobseekers given their skill assessment results have more accurate beliefs about their comparative advantage and redirect search toward jobs whose skill demand matches their comparative advantage in multiple search measures: an incentivized job choice task where workers choose between jobs with different skill requirements, usage data from an online job search platform, and self-reported search plans. In a larger field experiment, treatment has similar effects on self-reported measures of beliefs and search direction and substantially raises earnings and job quality, although not employment rates, after three months. These patterns are consistent with models of endogenously directed job search, where jobseekers' beliefs about their skills influence where they direct job applications and hence the wages they are offered.

We allow for a large number of asymmetric countries connected by a network of trade and capital investments. We provide microfoundations for gravity equations for trade and capital investments. We use our framework to examine the following questions: Are capital investments complements or substitutes for goods trade? How much bigger are the gains from globalization when trade integration is combined with international capital liberalization? How is the impact of China’s economic growth on its East Asian neighbors altered when capital is free to move across borders as well as goods? How much larger are the costs of Brexit for the United Kingdom when capital is free to reallocate internationally? How does this reallocation of capital a ect the distributional consequences of trade disintegration? How much greater are the costs of international sanctions for targeting and targeted countries when restrictions on capital investments are combined with barriers to trade in goods? What are the global implications of a decoupling between China and the United States?

description: Uncertain times are often challenging, and distinguishing between volatility shocks and large negative level shocks can be problematic. We use the Base Realignment and Closure process in the United States in the 1990s and 2000s to address this question. In this case, the level shock is announced after a significant period of uncertainty and is implemented after an even greater period of time, allowing us to distinctly separate first-moment from second-moment shocks and directly estimate the impact of uncertainty. Employing a difference-in-difference approach, as well as a panel regression in which we explicitly control for the level effect of spending, we demonstrate that uncertainty had a significant impact independently of level effects.

description: This paper analyzes donation behaviors from the perspective of religious beliefs. Using a transaction-level dataset from an Asian economy, we show that higher income uncertainty predicts more donations, especially for religious donations, and after negative income uncertainty and health shock. This pattern is inconsistent with existing explanations of donation, but can be explained by a “spiritual insurance” channel, whereby donators believe that giving reduces the probability of the bad state. Indeed, we find that those who donate to non-local religious organizations reduce their insurance purchases, suggesting that “spiritual insurance” channel can be influential for donation and the insurance market.

description: Diese Diplomarbeit setzt sich mit der Bedeutung des Lektürekanons in der Schule auseinander. Es werden die Fragen bearbeitet, welchen Nutzen ein Kanon heute noch hat und welche Rolle literarische Bildung aktuell noch spielt. Immer wieder kommt es zu Diskussionen darüber, ob ein verbindlicher Kanon sinnvoll oder nutzlos ist. Da, innerhalb der Schule die Lehrer und Lehrerinnen diejenigen sind, die einen solchen Kanon umsetzen müssten, wurden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit qualitative Interviews mit Wiener AHS-Lehrern und Lehrerinnen durchgeführt. Die Interviews dienten dazu, die Erfahrungen und Meinungen der Gesprächspartner über den Kanon aufzuzeigen. Die Analyse der Interviews hat ergeben, dass sowohl literarische Bildung als auch ein (unverbindlicher) Kanon von großer Bedeutung für die Lehrkräfte sind. Die Kenntnis bestimmter Werke ist für die befragten Personen im Sinne der Allgemeinbildung unumgänglich.

description: We consider a team-production environment where all participants are motivated by career concerns, and where a team’s joint productive outcome may have different reputational implications for different team members. In this context, we characterize equilibrium disclosure of team-outcomes when team-disclosure choices aggregate individual decisions through some deliberation protocol. In contrast with individual disclosure problems, we show that equilibria often involve partial disclosure. Furthermore, we study the effort-incentive properties of equilibrium disclosure strategies implied by different deliberation protocols; and show that the partial disclosure of team outcomes may improve individuals’ incentives to contribute to the team. Finally, we study the design of deliberation protocols, and characterize productive environments where effort-incentives are maximized by unilateral decision protocols or more consensual deliberation procedures.

description: We examine the impact of responsible consumption on asset prices. We introduce a preference bias in favor of “green” goods and good-specific external habits in a consumption-based dynamic asset pricing model with a variety of goods. We show that when goods’ demand elasticity is high, brown assets hedge against consumption risk while green assets are riskier. As a result, the “green minus brown” (GMB) asset return spread increases with goods’ demand elasticity. Using change in product prices as a measure of goods’ demand elasticity and ESG scores as a measure of greenness, we find that in the cross-section of US stocks over the 2012–2022 period, the annual GMB return spread is 12% for firms with high demand elasticity, while it is 0.77% for firms with low demand elasticity. Moreover, consistent with our model, we find that the outperformance of green vs. brown stocks in the recent decade is concentrated among firms facing high-demand elasticity in product markets. In contrast, green firms underperform brown in low-demand elasticity markets. Our model highlights that goods’ demand elasticity is crucial for understanding the impact of the rising trend of responsible consumption on asset prices.

description: Motivated by novel survey evidence, this paper develops a theory of political behavior in which values are a luxury good: the relative weight voters place on values rather than material considerations increases with income. The model predicts: (i) voters who are sufficiently rich to afford voting left; (ii) that more rich than poor people vote against their material interests; (iii) that Democrats are internally more fragmented than Republicans; (iv) that income and voting Republican are positively correlated across voters but negatively across states; and (v) the realignment of rich moral liberals and poor moral conservatives. We test our predictions empirically.

description: We develop a two-layer asset demand framework to analyze fragility in the corporate bond market. Households allocate wealth to institutions, and institutions then allocate funds to specific assets. The framework generates tractable joint dynamics of flows and asset values, featuring amplification and contagion. The framework can be estimated using micro-data on bond prices, investor holdings, and fund flows, allowing for rich parameter heterogeneity across assets and institutions. We match the model to the March 2020 turmoil and quantify the equilibrium effects of unconventional monetary and liquidity policies on asset prices and institutions.

description: This paper measures the impact of information quality on the success of firms' investment decisions using the U.S. census as an empirical context. Over the course of a decade, information from the decennial census snapshot likely deviates from the evolving market condition, thereby making the data less relevant. I find that on average, outdated census information increases establishment failure rate by 1.6% per year. The effects are stronger for geographic areas that experience large changes in demographics, for industries that rely on precise information in small trade areas, and for independent retailers that lack alternative sources of demographic information.

description: We provide experimental evidence that core intertemporal choice anomalies – including extreme short-run impatience, structural estimates of present bias, hyperbolicity and transitivity violations – are driven by complexity rather than time or risk preferences. First, all anomalies also arise in structurally similar atemporal deci-sion problems involving valuation of iteratively discounted (but immediately paid) rewards. These computational errors are strongly predictive of intertemporal decisions. Second, intertemporal choice anomalies are highly correlated with indices of complexity responses including cognitive uncertainty and choice inconsistency. We show that model misspecification resulting from ignoring behavioral responses to complexity severely inflates structural estimates of present bias.

description: We use a comprehensive Swedish credit register to document that firms throughout the size distribution have access to fairly large and reasonably priced credit lines, but borrow relatively little from them. We rationalize this using a theoretical framework in which the expected cost of financial distress increases with current borrowing and lower credit-line utilization reflects tighter ‘dynamic’ credit constraints. Consistently with the predictions of the model, firm-level uncertainty is negatively related to credit-line utilization in the data. We also find that firms increase borrowing in response to credit-limit increases, even when their current debt is far from the limit.

description: Credit card lenders individualize contracts primarily through risk-based credit limits rather than interest rates. To understand lenders’ credit limit choices, I use novel statement-level data on the near-universe of UK credit cards active between 2010–2015 to estimate a structural model of the credit card market. The model explains differences in lenders’ credit limit distributions through a screening technology that provides lenders with a noisy signal of customers’ risk. I identify model parameters using a novel cost shock that results from the April 2011 case in the England and Wales High Court concerning the mis-selling of payment protection insurance. I use the estimated model to evaluate a counterfactual scenario in which lenders can freely individualize interest rates and credit limits, which the existing environment precludes. As a result, interest rates and credit limits are individualized, and profits increase. Risk-based interest rate discrimination emerges, resulting in large reductions in consumer surplus for the riskiest individuals. I conclude with potential explanations for the puzzling absence of risk-based pricing in the UK credit card market.

Welfare
Centralized matching

description: In many matching markets, matches are formed after costly interviews. We analyze the welfare implications of costly interviewing in a model of worker-firm matching. We use our model to understand the trade-offs between a centralized matching system and a decentralized one, where matches can occur at any time. Centralized matching with a common offer date leads to coordination issues in the interview stage. Each firm must incorporate the externality imposed by the interview decisions of the firms ranked above it when deciding on its interview list. As a result, low-ranked firms often fail to interview some candidates that ex-ante have high match quality. A decentralized setting with exploding offers generates, at a minimum, the same welfare as the centralized setting, though the set of candidates who receive interviews is different. Total welfare is generally maximized with a system that ensures firms interview and match in sequence, clearing the market for the next firm. Such asynchronicity reduces interview congestion. This system can be implemented by encouraging top firms to interview and match early and allowing candidates to renege on offers.

description: We use novel data covering 2 billion daily employee-article interactions across approximately 2 million firms to characterize firms’ exposures to uncertainty in almost real-time. We find that, in the cross-section, firms that more intensely read about financial versus other uncertainty-related topics are those most exposed to changes in aggregate measures of economic uncertainty. Consistent with exposure to uncertainty being priced, public firms that spend more time reading these topics have a 2% higher cost of capital, translating into relatively low investment rates. Higher attention to financial uncertainty relates to a 7% lower investment and a 5% lower hiring rate on an annual basis.

Bank branch density

description: Bank branch density, defined as the number of bank branches to total deposits, has significantly declined over the past decade, fueled by a confluence of branch closings and the almost doubling of deposits between 2016 and 2022. During this period, banks with low branch density benefited from large deposits inflows, leading to even lower density. But the virtuous cycle of deposit growth in these banks stopped spinning when investors became wary about their financial health. Stock prices of banks with low branch density plummeted during the 2023 Banking Crisis as these banks experienced larger outflows of uninsured deposits. Our results suggest that digital banking enabled banks to grow faster and attract uninsured deposits, but those large deposit inflows took the form of “hot money” that changed its course when economic conditions worsened.

Commitment payoff

description: I analyze a novel reputation game between a patient player and a sequence of myopic short-run players. The short-run players have limited memories and cannot observe the exact sequence of the patient player’s actions. I focus on the case in which every short-run player only observes the number of times that the patient player took each of his actions in the last K periods. When players have monotone-super modular payoffs, I show that the patient player can approximately secure his commitment payoff in all equilibria as long as K is at least one. I also show that the short-run players can approximately attain their highest feasible payoff in all equilibria if and only if their memory length K is lower than some cutoff. Although a longer memory enables more short-run players to punish the patient player once the patient player deviates from his commitment action, it weakens the short-run players’ incentives to execute the punishment.

description: Das Schreiben mit dem Bleistift zählt zu den unabdingbaren Voraussetzungen der ästhetischen Haltung Peter Handkes. Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beleuchtet erstmals den Versuch über die Müdigkeit unter Einbezug seiner Textgenese. Auf der Basis der Auswertung vorhandener werkgenetischer Materialien werden Konturen eines Schreibprozesses abgesteckt und dabei eine literarische Arbeitsweise Handkes verortet. Im Manuskript wie in den Notizbüchern Handkes werden Begleitumstände des Schreibens evident, die ein ambivalentes Verhältnis des Autors zum Text wie zum Schreiben selbst, freilegen. Die manifesten Spuren des Schaffensvorganges im Text zeugen von einer Selbstreflexivität, die auf den Akt und den Ort der Produktion verweist. Der Bleistift nimmt dabei als Instrumentarium im figuralen Spannungsfeld der Schreibszene einen besonderen Stellenwert ein.

description: How do the sources of worker learning change over the lifecycle, and how do these changes affect human capital accumulation and wage growth? We use worker qualification data from Germany and the US to document that internal learning (learning from colleagues) decreases with workers' experience, whereas external learning (on-the-job training) has an inverted U-shape in workers' experience. To shed light on these findings, we build a quantitative search model featuring a two-source learning technology where firms and workers jointly choose learning investments, and the incentives to learn from each of the two sources evolve throughout the lifecycle as the worker's position in the human capital distribution of the firm changes. The calibrated model replicates our empirical findings and suggests that more productive firms provide better learning environments by offering a wider variety of learning options. Quantitative results indicate that internal learning plays a key role in driving the lifecycle increase in wage growth and dispersion due to compensation for the learning spillovers high-skill workers trigger for their colleagues; and that the disruption to internal learning triggered by remote work not only impacts the human capital acquisition of young workers but also depresses the wages of more senior workers since part of their compensation is tied to their ability to teach younger coworkers.

housing market

description: We identify and study two mechanisms that can overturn the stabilizing effects of unemployment insurance policies. First, households in economies with more generous unemployment insurance reduce precautionary savings and borrow more in the mortgage market. Second, the share of mortgages among bank assets, as well as the fraction of mortgages with higher loan-to-income ratios, increases on bank balance sheets. As a result, both bank and household balance sheets become vulnerable to adverse shocks, which deepens recessions. Furthermore, booms are also amplified, as smaller income risk enables households to increase their mortgage debt, consumption, and housing demand in response to expansionary shocks. We use a quantitative general equilibrium model that features interactions between household, bank, and firm balance sheets, and a border discontinuity design from the U.S. mortgage and housing markets to demonstrate the importance of these channels.
