Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microeconomics is fundamentally about agents who have preferences, form expectations and face constraints (Manski, 2001). This dissertation explores each mechanism in three very different contexts. The first chapter focuses on expectations, the second on preferences and the third on constraints. The three different contexts are diving for sea urchins, gambling on weight loss and studying at the library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's most important papers in a number of areas of applied microeconomic theory, many previously presented as articles in various journals during the 1970s-1990s, are collected here under categories of strategic behavior, efficiency wages, and applied price theory. Specific subjects include the durability of capital as a barrier to entry, agent compensation and the limits of bonding, and supporting collusion by choice of inferior technologies. Other topics covered are the economy of high wages, technology-trading coalitions in supergames, and the geometry of supply, demand, and competitive market structure with economies of scope. Eaton teaches economics at the University of Calgary, Canada. This work lacks a subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book excerpt: This is a collection of essays in applied microeconomics. The first chapter explores late life savings behavior, the second examines the effects of housing voucher policies, and the third provides evidence that nurture effects of both cognitive and non-cognitive skills are large. Chapter 1 is joint with Siha Lee. Bequests may be a key driver of late life savings behavior and, more broadly, a determinant of intergenerational inequality. However, distinguishing bequest motives from precautionary savings is challenging. Using the Health and Retirement Study, we exploit an unanticipated change in Social Security benefits, commonly called the Social Security Notch, as an instrument to identify the effect of benefits on bequests. We show that an increase in benefits leads to a sizable increase in bequest amounts. We combine our instrumental variable estimates with a model of late life savings behavior that accounts for mortality risk and unobserved expenditure shocks to identify bequest motives. Chapter 2 is joint work with Morris Davis, Jesse Gregory, and Daniel Hartley. We study how households choose neighborhoods, how neighborhoods affect child ability, and how housing vouchers influence neighborhood choices and child outcomes. We use two new panel datasets with tract-level detail for Los Angeles county to estimate a dynamic model of optimal tract-level location choice for renting households and, separately, the impact of living in a given tract on child test scores (which we call "child ability" throughout). We simulate optimal location choices and changes in child ability of the poorest households in our sample under various housing-voucher policies. Chapter 3 is joint work with Jiaming Soh. While many studies have shown that parental skills are important for child outcomes, whether this derives from non-genetic mechanisms is less clear. We investigate the nurture effects of parental cognitive and socio-emotional skills in producing college attainment of offspring, modelling socio-emotional skills as latent factors based on the Big Five taxonomy of personality. By studying a sample of adopted children whose parents are respondents of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, we estimate non-genetic effects of parental skills on college attainment and find that they are sizeable.

Download or read book Essays on Microeconomics and Industrial Organisation written by Pablo Coto-Millán and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on Microeconomics and Industrial Organisation aim to serve as a source and work of reference and consultation for the field of Microeconomics in general and of Industrial Organisation in particular. Traditionally, Microeconomics is essentially taught as theory and hardly ever an estimation of a demand, production and cost function is offered . Over the last two decades, however, Microeconomics has greatly broadened its field of empirical application. Therefore, this text combines microeconomic theories with a variety of empirical cases. The standardised microeconomic analysis of demand, production and costs is set forth along with appropriate econometric techniques. The text consists of four parts: Demand, Production and Costs (Supply), Market and Industrial Structure and Failure of Market and Industrial Regulation. It includes eleven new chapters with respect to the first edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with the empirical identification of incentive effects in various settings.The central chapter looks at the financial crisis of 2007-2009 and the incentive effects caused by policy interventions in financial markets. A hypothesis controversially discussed by academics as well as policy makers is that public bailouts for banks destroy market discipline, that is the incentives for decentralized monitoring by market participants. In turn, this might induce stronger risk-taking by banks and finally make future crises more likely and severe. The thesis describes a new methodology to identify this effect and shows that market discipline strongly deteriorated during the crisis period. In additional chapters, this thesis empirically identifies incentive effects in dynamic contest situations.
