Inference for double Pareto lognormal queues with applications [PDF]
In this article we describe a method for carrying out Bayesian inference for the double Pareto lognormal (dPlN) distribution which has recently been proposed as a model for heavy-tailed phenomena. We apply our approach to inference for the dPlN/M/1 and M/

Social Status, Inequality, and Redistribution
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We explore implications of social status concerns for redistribution, income inequality, and growth in a political economy framework. Salience of such concerns leads to a propagation mechanism, whereby initial income inequality and reduced willingness to redistribute income reinforce each other, potentially giving rise to multiple steady ...

The Causal Effect of Parents' Education on Children's Earnings
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We develop and estimate a model of endogenous schooling and earnings to isolate the causal effect of parents' education on children's outcomes. Identification uses earnings differences among children with equal schooling whose parents have different schooling.

A Quantile Model of Firm Investment
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Are firms risk averse? We propose a dynamic model of firm investment under uncertainty that captures firms' risk attitudes through quantile preferences. The firm maximizes its present value, defined as current profits and investment plus the discounted value of the τ$\tau$‐quantile of its value next period.

Climate‐Neutrality Transition and Banks' Loan Pricing
Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel methodology to quantify firms' climate‐change transition risk (CCTR) and its implications for credit markets. We utilize the regulatory framework of the European Green Deal's 2050 carbon neutrality roadmap, focusing on large Eurozone firms and their banking relationships.

Pareto tails and lognormal body of US cities size distribution [PDF]
, 2017 We consider a distribution, which consists of lower tail Pareto, lognormal body, and upper tail Pareto, to estimate the size distribution of all US cities.

The Evolution of Interest‐Rate Models: From the Yield Curve to the Swaption Cube
Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interest‐rate modelling is often taught as a catalogue of competing stochastic equations, obscuring why models were created and why modern sell‐side desks use several simultaneously. This survey reorganises the field around five layers of a pricing architecture: curve construction; arbitrage‐free dynamics; volatility‐smile representation ...

Poverty, Income Distribution and CGE Modeling: Does the Functional Form of Distribution Matter? [PDF]
In this paper, we provide an overview of approaches used to model income distribution and poverty in CGE models. CGE models have started to use income distribution functional forms such as the lognormal, Pareto, beta distribution and Kernel non ...

Excess Movement in Option‐Implied Beliefs
The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We derive bounds on the rational variation in option‐implied beliefs about market returns. While risk preferences distort option‐implied (or risk‐neutral) beliefs away from subjective beliefs, one can nonetheless bound risk‐neutral belief movement under a general assumption on the stochastic discount factor.

Pro-Poor Growth and the Lognormal Distribution
, 2011 A widely accepted criterion for the pro-poorness of an income growth pattern is that it should reduce a (chosen) measure of poverty by \textit{more} than if all incomes were growing equi-proportionately.
