Evidence Gathering Under Competitive and Noncompetitive Rewards
ABSTRACT Reward schemes may affect not only agents' effort but also their incentives to gather information in order to reduce the riskiness of the productive activity.

Banking with Inside Money: An Efficiency Analysis
Abstract We show that banks do not decentralize the first best in a nominal Diamond–Dybvig economy with inside money. Furthermore, state‐contingent deposit contracts do not expand the consumption possibility set to include the first best either. Central banks can improve welfare but only for savers and only with unconventional monetary policy. Finally,

Model Ambiguity versus Model Misspecification in Dynamic Portfolio Choice
ABSTRACT We study aversion to model ambiguity and misspecification in dynamic portfolio choice. Risk‐averse investors (relative risk aversion γ>1$\gamma > 1$) fear return persistence, while risk‐tolerant investors (0<γ<1$0<\gamma <1$) fear mean reversion, when confronting model misspecification concerns of identically and independently distributed (IID)

ABSTRACT The concept of humility has a long history of paradoxicality. From denoting a lowly social status—to becoming one of the highest Christian virtues—to falling under the critique of the liberators of the Enlightenment—to experiencing an upsurge of philosophical and psychological interest in recent years, the value of acknowledging one's least ...

Welfare consequences of the compound risks of index insurance
Abstract Index insurance is an attractive variant on the standard insurance contract that allows the determination of a loss event to be defined by one or more thresholds on an index that is positively correlated with actual losses. Index insurance also comes with a compound risk, basis risk.

Driven by risk: Understanding reference‐dependent preferences using simulated auto racing
Abstract Using data from over 56,000 simulated auto races worldwide, we analyze risk‐taking at the margins, consistent with reference‐dependent preferences. We show that participants' risk‐taking changes when a desired intermittent outcome is presented, sometimes at the expense of a more favorable expected end state.
