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.

Gendered Effects of the Minimum Wage

Trade Exposure and the Decline in Collective Bargaining: Evidence From Germany

ABSTRACT We analyze how rising trade exposure from China and Eastern Europe affected collective bargaining coverage in German plants from 1996 to 2008. Using cross‐industry variation in trade exposure and instrumenting with trade flows from other high‐income countries, we find that higher import exposure increased the likelihood that plants exited ...
