This article develops and estimates a dynamic model where individuals differ in ability and location preference to evaluate the mechanisms that affect the evolution of immigrants’ careers in conjunction with their re-migration plans. Our analysis highlights a novel form of selective return migration where those who plan to stay longer invest more into skill acquisition, with important implications for the assessment of immigrants’ career paths and the estimation of their earnings profiles. Our study also explains the willingness of immigrants to accept jobs at wages that seem unacceptable to natives. Finally, our model provides important insight for the design of migration policies, showing that policies that initially restrict residence or condition residence on achievement shape not only immigrants’ career profiles through their impact on human capital investment but also determine the selection of arrivals and leavers.

In 2008, Volkswagen introduced a new generation of “Clean Diesel” cars and heavily marketed them to environmentally conscious US consumers. Unknown to the public, these cars were anything but clean, emitting pollutants up to 150 times the level of comparable gas-fuelled cars. We study the rollout of these emissions-cheating diesel cars across the United States from 2008 to 2015 as a natural experiment to examine the impact of moderate levels of car pollution on infant and child health in the general population. Using the universe of vehicle registrations, we find that an additional cheating diesel car per 1,000 cars increases?PM2.5PM2.5?,?PM10PM10?, and ozone by 2, 2.2, and 1.3%%?, respectively, while the low birth weight rate and infant mortality rate increase by 1.9 and 1.7%%?, respectively. Similar impacts are found for acute asthma attacks in children. These health impacts occur at all pollution levels and across the socioeconomic spectrum.

Each year in the US, hundreds of billions of dollars are spent on transportation infrastructure and billions of hours are lost in traffic. We develop a quantitative general equilibrium spatial framework featuring endogenous transportation costs and traffic congestion and apply it to evaluate the welfare impact of transportation infrastructure improvements. Our approach yields analytical expressions for transportation costs between any two locations, the traffic along each link of the transportation network, and the equilibrium distribution of economic activity across the economy, each as a function of the underlying quality of infrastructure and the strength of traffic congestion. We characterize the properties of such an equilibrium and show how the framework can be combined with traffic data to evaluate the impact of improving any segment of the infrastructure network. Applying our framework to both the US highway network and the Seattle road network, we find highly variable returns to investment across different links in the respective transportation networks, highlighting the importance of well-targeted infrastructure investment.

4.Subjective Models of the Macroeconomy: Evidence From Experts and Representative Samples
宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)的主觀模型:來自專家的證據(jù)和代表性樣本

We study people’s subjective models of the macroeconomy and shed light on their attentional foundations. To do so, we measure beliefs about the effects of macroeconomic shocks on unemployment and inflation, providing respondents with identical information about the parameters of the shocks and previous realizations of macroeconomic variables. Within samples of 6,500 US households and 1,500 experts, beliefs are widely dispersed, even about the directional effects of shocks, and there are large differences in average beliefs between households and experts. Part of this disagreement seems to arise because respondents think of different propagation channels of the shocks, in particular demand- vs. supply-side mechanisms. We provide evidence on the role of associative memory in driving heterogeneity in thoughts and forecasts: contextual cues and prior experiences shape which propagation channels individuals retrieve and thereby which forecasts they make. Our findings offer a new perspective on the widely documented disagreement in macroeconomic expectations.

5.Product Life Cycle, Learning, and Nominal Shocks
產(chǎn)品生命周期、學(xué)習(xí)和名義沖擊
David Argente,?Chen Yeh

This article documents a new set of stylized facts on how pricing moments depend on product age and emphasizes how this heterogeneity is crucial for the amplification of nominal shocks to the real economy. Exploiting information from a unique panel containing billions of transactions in the US consumer goods sector, we show that our empirical findings are consistent with a narrative in which firms face demand uncertainty and learn through prices. Such a mechanism of active learning from prices can strongly influence an economy’s aggregate price level and can thus be important for assessing the degree of monetary non-neutrality. To quantify this, we build a general equilibrium menu cost model with active learning and exogenous entry that features heterogeneity in pricing moments over the life cycle of products. Under this setup, firms engage in active learning to deal with uncertainty on their demand curves. Firms choose prices not only to maximize static profits but also to create signals to obtain valuable information on their demand. In the calibrated version of our model, the cumulative real effects of a nominal shock are approximately three times as large compared to a standard price-setting model. The main intuition behind this result is that active learning weakens the selection effect. Price changes are mainly determined by forces of active learning and, hence, become more orthogonal to aggregate shocks, which reduces the aggregate price flexibility of the economy.

We investigate the allegation that legacy US airlines communicated via earnings calls to coordinate with other legacy airlines in offering fewer seats on competitive routes. To this end, we first use text analytics to build a novel dataset on communication among airlines about their capacity choices. Estimates from our preferred specification show that the number of offered seats is 2%%?lower when all legacy airlines in a market discuss the concept of “capacity discipline.” We verify that this reduction materializes only when legacy airlines communicate concurrently, and that it cannot be explained by other possibilities, including that airlines are simply announcing to investors their unilateral plans to reduce capacity, and then following through on those announcements.

The problem of?demand inversion—a crucial step in the estimation of random utility discrete-choice models—is equivalent to the determination of stable outcomes in two-sided matching models. This equivalence applies to random utility models that are not necessarily additive, smooth, nor even invertible. Based on this equivalence, algorithms for the determination of stable matchings provide effective computational methods for estimating these models. For non-invertible models, the identified set of utility vectors is a lattice, and the matching algorithms recover sharp upper and lower bounds on the utilities. Our matching approach facilitates estimation of models that were previously difficult to estimate, such as the pure characteristics model. An empirical application to voting data from the 1999 European Parliament elections illustrates the good performance of our matching-based demand inversion algorithms in practice.

8.China’s Model of Managing the Financial System?

China’s economic model involves regular and intensive government interventions in financial markets, while Western policymakers often refrain from substantial interventions outside crisis periods. We develop a theoretical framework to rationalize the approaches of both China and the West to managing the financial system as being optimal given the differences in their respective economies. In this framework, a government leans against trading of noise traders but at the expense of introducing policy noise to the market. Our welfare analysis shows that under certain underlying economic conditions, the optimal government policy induces a government-centric equilibrium, in which government intervention is so intensive that all investors choose to acquire private information about policy noise rather than fundamentals. This policy regime characterizes China’s approach with financial stability prioritized over other policy objectives.

9.The Design of Teacher Assignment: Theory and Evidence?
教師分配設(shè)計(jì):理論與證據(jù)

The Review of Economic Studies, Volume 89, Issue 6, November 2022, Pages 3154–3222,
To assign teachers to schools, a modified version of the well-known deferred acceptance mechanism has been proposed in the literature and is used in practice. We show that this mechanism fails to be fair and efficient for both teachers and schools. We identify a class of strategy-proof mechanisms that cannot be improved upon in terms of both efficiency and fairness. Using a rich dataset on teachers’ applications in France, we estimate teachers preferences and perform a counterfactual analysis. The results show that these mechanisms perform much better than the modified version of deferred acceptance. For instance, the number of teachers moving from their positions more than triples under our mechanism.

Should regulators encourage the migration of trade from over-the-counter (OTC) to centralized markets? To address this question, we study a model in which banks make costly decisions to participate in an OTC market, a centralized market, or both markets at the same time. Banks differ in their ability to take large positions, what we call their trading capacity. In equilibrium, intermediate-capacity banks find it optimal to participate in the centralized market. In contrast, low- and high-capacity banks find it optimal to participate in the OTC market, due to an endogenous complementarity. Namely, low-capacity banks receive worse terms of trade than in the centralized market but better risk sharing, thanks to the intermediation services offered by high-capacity banks. High-capacity banks receive worse risk sharing than in the centralized market, but profit from the provision of intermediation services to low-capacity banks. While the social optimum has qualitatively similar participation patterns, it prescribes that more customers migrate to the centralized market, and that more dealers enter the OTC market.

An increasing number of households installing solar panels and consuming the energy thus produced raises two challenges for regulators: network financing and vertical equity. We propose alternative tariff and subsidy designs for policymakers to incentivize solar panel adoptions and guarantee that network costs are recovered, while trading off efficiency, equity, and welfare motives. We estimate a structural model of energy demand and solar panel adoption, using a unique matched dataset on energy consumption, prices, income, wealth, solar panel installations, and building characteristics for 165,000 households in Switzerland from 2008 to 2014. Our counterfactuals recommend the optimal solar panel installation cost subsidies and two-part energy tariffs to achieve a solar energy target. We show that, relative to installation cost subsidies, relying on marginal prices to incentivize solar panel adoptions is more cost efficient and progressive across the income distribution, but generates a larger aggregate welfare loss.

12.Seawalls and Stilts: A Quantitative Macro Study of Climate Adaptation?
海堤和高蹺:氣候適應(yīng)的定量宏觀研究

Can we reduce the damage from climate change by investing in seawalls, stilts, or other forms of adaptation? Focusing on the case of severe storms in the US, I develop a macro heterogeneous-agent model to quantify the interactions between adaptation, federal disaster policy, and climate change. The model departs from the standard climate damage function and incorporates the damage from storms as the realization of idiosyncratic shocks. Using the calibrated model, I infer that adaptation capital comprises approximately 1|$\%$|?of the US capital stock. I find that while the moral hazard effects from disaster aid reduce adaptation in the US economy, federal subsidies for investment in adaptation more than correct for the moral hazard. I introduce climate change into the model as a permanent increase in either or both the severity or probability of storms. Adaptation reduces the damage from this climate change by approximately one-third. Finally, I show that modelling the idiosyncratic risk component of climate damage has quantitatively important implications for adaptation and for the welfare cost of climate change.
我們能否通過投資海堤、高蹺或其他形式的適應(yīng)措施來減少氣候變化造成的損害?專注于美國(guó)嚴(yán)重風(fēng)暴的情況,我開發(fā)了一個(gè)宏觀異構(gòu)代理模型來量化適應(yīng)、聯(lián)邦災(zāi)害政策和氣候變化之間的相互作用。該模型偏離了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的氣候損傷函數(shù),并將風(fēng)暴造成的損害納入了特質(zhì)沖擊的實(shí)現(xiàn)。使用校準(zhǔn)模型,我推斷適應(yīng)資本約為1|$\%$| 美國(guó)股本。我發(fā)現(xiàn),雖然救災(zāi)援助的道德風(fēng)險(xiǎn)效應(yīng)降低了美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的適應(yīng)能力,但聯(lián)邦對(duì)適應(yīng)投資的補(bǔ)貼足以彌補(bǔ)道德風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。我將氣候變化引入模型,作為風(fēng)暴嚴(yán)重程度或概率的永久增加。適應(yīng)將這種氣候變化造成的損害減少了約三分之一。最后,我表明,對(duì)氣候損害的特殊風(fēng)險(xiǎn)成分進(jìn)行建模對(duì)適應(yīng)和氣候變化的福利成本具有定量上的重要意義。

Empirical evidence on distributional preferences shows that people do not judge inequality as problematic per se but that they take into account the fairness or unfairness of the outcome. This article conceptualizes a view of unfair inequality and introduces a new measure of inequality based on two widely held fairness principles: equality of opportunity and freedom from poverty. It develops a method for decomposing inequality and its trends into an unfair and a fair component. We provide two empirical applications of our measure. First, we analyse the development of inequality in the US from 1969 to 2014 from a fairness perspective. Second, we conduct a corresponding international comparison between the US and 31 European countries in 2010. Our results document that unfair inequality matches the well-documented inequality growth in the US since 1980. This trend is driven by decreases in social mobility, i.e., increasing importance of parental education and occupation for the income of their children. Among the 32 countries of our international comparison, the land of opportunity ranks among the most unfair societies in 2010.
關(guān)于分配偏好的經(jīng)驗(yàn)證據(jù)表明,人們并不認(rèn)為不平等本身有問題,而是考慮到結(jié)果的公平或不公平。本文概念化了不公平不平等的觀點(diǎn),并介紹了基于兩個(gè)廣泛持有的公平原則的新不平等衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn):機(jī)會(huì)平等和免于貧困的自由。它開發(fā)了一種將不平等及其趨勢(shì)分解為不公平和公平組成部分的方法。我們提供了兩種測(cè)量的實(shí)證應(yīng)用。首先,我們從公平的角度分析了1969年至2014年美國(guó)不平等的發(fā)展。其次,我們對(duì)2010年美國(guó)與31個(gè)歐洲國(guó)家進(jìn)行了相應(yīng)的國(guó)際比較。我們的研究結(jié)果證明,不公平的不平等與美國(guó)自1980年以來有據(jù)可查的不平等增長(zhǎng)相匹配。這一趨勢(shì)是由社會(huì)流動(dòng)性的下降推動(dòng)的,即父母的教育和職業(yè)對(duì)其子女收入的重要性日益增加。在我們國(guó)際比較的32個(gè)國(guó)家中,機(jī)會(huì)之地是2010年最不公平的社會(huì)之一。

Facing the same labour demand shock through imports from China, we show that men and women make different labour market and family adjustments that result in significant long-run gender inequality. The gender gap is driven by the female biological clock. Using population registers and matched employer-employee data from Denmark, we document that especially women in their late 30s, towards the end of their biological clock, decide to have a baby as the shock causes displacement. High-earning women in leadership positions and women who need to acquire new human capital are central because their new employment would require particularly high investments that are incompatible with having a newborn in the short time remaining on the biological clock. While children penalize women in the labour market, we show that due to the biological clock an otherwise gender-neutral shock leads to a gender gap in the labour market.

15.The Unavoidability of Low Inflation–Low Output Traps?

Since the collapse of the Bretton Woods monetary system, the monies of the developed world have been unbacked by any formal promise of convertibility. Yet, inflation has typically undershot, not overshot, central bank targets over the past couple decades. The low, while generally positive, inflation rate has (more arguably) been associated with low output and low growth. In this article, I consider these observations through the lens of a class of representative agent rational expectations models with nominal (price-setting) frictions and the possibility of firm entry/exit. I show that for any level of nominal frictions (no matter how small) and for any monetary policy rule that satisfies a set of weak restrictions, there is a large set of equilibria that exhibit permanently low inflation, low output, and low nominal interest rates. These equilibria can only exhibit positive long-run inflation if growth is low and the specification of nominal frictions (i.e. the Phillips curve) takes an unconventional but nonetheless empirically plausible form.
自布雷頓森林貨幣體系崩潰以來,發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的貨幣一直沒有任何正式的可兌換承諾的支持。然而,在過去幾十年中,通脹通常低于而不是超過央行的目標(biāo)。低通脹率(雖然總體上是正的)與低產(chǎn)出和低增長(zhǎng)有關(guān)。在本文中,我通過一類具有名義(價(jià)格設(shè)定)摩擦和公司進(jìn)入/退出可能性的代表性代理理性預(yù)期模型來考慮這些觀察結(jié)果。我表明,對(duì)于任何水平的名義摩擦(無論多?。┖蜐M足一系列弱限制的任何貨幣政策規(guī)則,都有大量的均衡表現(xiàn)出永久的低通脹、低產(chǎn)出和低名義利率。這些均衡只有在增長(zhǎng)較低且名義摩擦的規(guī)格(即菲利普斯曲線)采取非常規(guī)但經(jīng)驗(yàn)上合理的形式時(shí)才能表現(xiàn)出積極的長(zhǎng)期通貨膨脹。
