The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract When studying French prices between 1938 and 1949, economists and historians face a paradox: whilst a vast black market shaped daily life, official indices recorded only state‐controlled prices. This article addresses the issue by introducing a new consumer price index that incorporates both official and black market prices.

Does the Phillips Curve Lie Down as We Age?
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract Using microlevel data, we present evidence that older individuals are less willing to substitute across varieties of goods.

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract Using confidential daily data, we examine the Bank of Israel's foreign exchange interventions from 2013 to 2019.
