Risk Sharing and Network Formation [PDF]
American Economic Review, 2007 In this paper we examine whether risk sharing networks are formed so as to maximize the mutual gains from pooling income risk. The bene t from risk pooling is largest when households have different income pro les - e.g., different occupations - and are subjected to di¤erent sources of risk - e.g., live far apart.

Risk Sharing in Coasian Contracts [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 2001 The Coase Theorem is analyzed in a setting in which pollution damages are a stochastic function of emissions and of natural environmental variability (e.g., weather). When pollution damages are stochastic, emissions create financial risks. Pollution levels allowed under Coasian contracts then in general depend on agents' risk appetites, and on the ...

Risk Sharing, Inequality, and Fertility [PDF]
, 2009 We use an extended Barro-Becker model of endogenous fertility, in which parents are heterogeneous in their labor productivity, to study the efficient degree of consumption inequality in the long run. In our environment a utilitarian planner allows for consumption inequality even when labor productivity is public information. We show that adding private
