Prediction with Expert Advice under Discounted Loss
, 2010 We study prediction with expert advice in the setting where the losses are accumulated with some discounting---the impact of old losses may gradually vanish.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

Which Measures of Time Preference Best Predict Outcomes? Evidence from a Large-Scale Field Experiment [PDF]
Economists and psychologists have devised numerous instruments to measure time preferences and have generated a rich literature examining the extent to which time preferences predict important outcomes; however, we still do not know which measures work ...

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a tractable model of asymmetric platform oligopoly with logit demand in which users from two distinct groups are subject to within‐group and cross‐group network effects and decide which platform to join. We characterize the equilibrium when platforms manage user access by setting participation fees for each user group.

Optimal Refund Mechanism With Consumer Learning
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article studies the optimal refund mechanism when an uninformed buyer learns about their valuation over time. We consider various refund mechanisms including simple return policies (no returns or free returns), and stochastic return policies, which allow the buyer to keep the product with some probability upon receiving a refund.

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates whether prior exposure to natural disasters influenced individual compliance with non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), specifically lockdown measures, during the Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Focusing on the Marche region of Italy, which experienced a severe earthquake in 2016, we exploit

Labor Supply of Mothers: The Role of Time Discounting
, 2016 We estimate a dynamic life-cycle model of labor supply with a focus on time preferences for women. We extend the dynamic discrete choice model to accommodate potentially non-exponential discounting.

Power priors for latent variable mediation models under small sample sizes
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Latent variable models typically require large sample sizes for acceptable efficiency and reliable convergence. Appropriate informative priors are often required for gainfully employing Bayesian analysis with small samples. Power priors are informative priors built on historical data, weighted to account for non‐exchangeability with the ...

Bulletin of Economic Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how labor‐supply responsiveness, captured by the inverse Frisch elasticity, shapes wage inequality in the presence of directed technical change and automation. We develop a dynamic general equilibrium model with task‐based production, heterogeneous labor, and endogenous R&D.

Investment and Consumption with Regime-Switching Discount Rates [PDF]
, 2013 This paper considers the problem of consumption and investment in a financial market within a continuous time stochastic economy. The investor exhibits a change in the discount rate. The investment opportunities are a stock and a riskless account.
