Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The epistocracy debate has turned largely on the character of the electorate—what voters know, whether competence filters can be designed well, and what filtered selection produces.

Social welfare effects of annuitization in small open economies
The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This paper develops a theory of when annuitization improves or reduces social welfare. The analysis is based on a small open economy with exogenous prices, populated by overlapping generations of non‐altruistic agents. Annuities provide longevity risk insurance and above‐market returns, but also reduce accidental bequests that transfer ...

Our framework allows tax revenues and workers' reservation wages to adjust endogenously with employment to satisfy the government's budget constraint.

Kyklos, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1153-1178, November 2026.ABSTRACT This paper offers a taxonomy of real and apparent deviations from rationality. The taxonomy is based on three axes of divides—whereas the axes are successive refinements. The outermost‐axis divide delineates “anxiety‐based choices” from “anxiety‐free choices.” Anxiety‐based choices are real deviations such as the Allais and Ellsberg paradoxes ...

Multilateral Index Approaches in the Presence of Product‐Specific Price Trends and Data Gaps
Review of Income and Wealth, Volume 72, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT The prices of some products respond more strongly to changes in the general price level than others. This study explains why such product‐specific price level elasticities lead to biased time‐product‐dummy (TPD) estimates of price levels. Other popular multilateral index approaches such as the Gini‐Éltető‐Köves‐Szulc (GEKS) and Geary‐Khamis ...

Time Preference in Decisions With Recurring Payoffs
Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, Volume 39, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Time preference plays a central role in decision‐making, shaping how individuals value outcomes that occur at different points in time. While most research on time preference focuses on one‐off payoffs, many real‐world decisions generate recurring consequences that unfold continuously over time.
