Reference dependence and lottery participation
Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.Abstract We assume that lottery participants are poor relative to their target income.

History and Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT “The normal exception” has long been a slogan of microhistory. This oxymoronic phrase is the iconic rendering of an incidental sentence that appeared in a 1977 article published by Edoardo Grendi in the Italian journal Quaderni storici, which functioned as the incubator of Italian microhistory.
