"Financial Markets and Unemployment" abstract We study the importance of financial markets for (un)employment fluctuations in a model with matching frictions where firms issue debt under limited enforcement. Higher debt allows employers to bargain lower wages which in turn increases the incentive to create jobs. The transmission mechanism of `credit shocks' is different from the typical…

"Sampling Best Response Dynamics and Deterministic Equilibrium Selection" Abstract We consider a model of evolution in games in which a revising agent observes the actions of a random number of randomly sampled opponents and then chooses a best response to the distribution of actions in the sample. We provide a condition on the distribution of…

"Preserving Debt or Equity Capacity?" abstract In a dynamic model of optimal security design, we show when firms should preserve "equity capacity" through choosing high target leverage or "debt capacity" through choosing low target leverage. Thereby, firms reduce a problem of underinvestment or overinvestment when they must raise future financing under asymmetric information. Which problem…

"The Effect of International Trade and Migration on Income" abstract This paper explores the relationship between economic openness and income per person using crosscountry data. To address endogeneity concerns we extend the instrumental-variables strategy first usedby Frankel and Romer (1999). First, we show that geographic characteristics, relative to the location of acountry are successful in…

"Structural Econometrics with Discrete Outcomes" abstract Discrete outcomes are ubiquitous in econometrics. Much information about human behaviour in response to economic stimuli and motivations is provided by data recording variously: choices amongst discrete, ordered or unordered alternatives, attitudes, preferences and strengths of response recorded on ordinal scales, counts of occurrences of events, and so forth.…

"Efficiency in Games with Markovian Private Information" (joint with Juan Escobar) abstract We study repeated Bayesian n-player games in which the players' privately known types evolve according to an irreducible Markov chain, type transitions are independent across players, and players have private values. Our main result shows that, with communication, any Pareto-efficient payoff vector above a minmax value can…
