Longevity, Health, and Housing Risk Management in Retirement

open access: yesThe Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Annuities, long‐term care insurance, and reverse mortgages remain puzzlingly unpopular to manage post‐retirement longevity, health, and housing price risks. We use a flexible life‐cycle model structurally estimated with a unique stated‐preference survey experiment of Canadian households to understand why. Key factors include high risk aversion,

A Unified Approach to Estimating Production Functions: Proxy Variables and Dynamic Panel Data

open access: yesThe Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a new approach to production function estimation that integrates the strengths of the proxy‐variable (PV) and dynamic panel data (DPD) methods. Our framework augments the set of instruments for the level equation in Blundell and Bond [8] with a Berkson‐type instrument motivated by economic theory, following Olley and Pakes [28 ...

The Effect of Airbnb on Housing Prices: Evidence From the 2017 Solar Eclipse

open access: yesJournal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study exploits the 2017 solar eclipse as a natural experiment to estimate the causal impact of Airbnb activity on housing prices. The eclipse created a temporary demand shock that induced a persistent increase in Airbnb supply. Using an IV/2SLS framework, we find that a 1% increase in Airbnb listings raises housing prices by 0.037%–0.043%,

Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications

open access: yesMathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

On the Exact Limiting Distribution of a Volatility Target Index

open access: yesMathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Assuming a lognormal distribution for the underlying risky asset, we study the limiting distribution of a volatility target index as the rebalancing time step approaches zero. Two limit theorems (a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem) are established, and as an application, the exact limiting distribution is derived.
