Field Experiments
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 42 Số 4 - Trang 1009-1055 - 2004
Glenn W. Harrison, John A. List
Experimental economists are leaving the reservation. They are recruiting subjects in the field rather than in the classroom, using field goods rather than induced valuations, and using field context rather than abstract terminology in instructions. We argue that there is something methodologically fundamental behind this trend. Field experiments differ from laboratory experiments in many ...... hiện toàn bộ
Natural Resources: Curse or Blessing?
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 49 Số 2 - Trang 366-420 - 2011
Frederick van der Ploeg
Are natural resources a “curse” or a “blessing”? The empirical evidence suggests that either outcome is possible. This paper surveys a variety of hypotheses and supporting evidence for why some countries benefit and others lose from the presence of natural resources. These include that a resource bonanza induces appreciation of the real exchange rate, deindustrialization, and bad growth pr...... hiện toàn bộ
Shadow Economies: Size, Causes, and Consequences
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 38 Số 1 - Trang 77-114 - 2000
Friedrich Schneider, Dominik H. Enste
Using various methods, the size of the shadow economy in 76 developing, transition, and OECD countries is estimated. Average size varies from 12 percent of GDP for OECD countries, to 23 percent for transition countries and 39 percent for developing countries. Increasing taxation and social security contributions combined with rising state regulations are driving forces for the increase of...... hiện toàn bộ
The New Institutional Economics: Taking Stock, Looking Ahead
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 38 Số 3 - Trang 595-613 - 2000
Oliver E. Williamson
This paper examines the progressive development of the new institutional economics over the past quarter century. It begins by distinguishing four levels of social analysis, with special emphasis on the institutional environment and the institutions of governance. It then turns to some of the good ideas out of which the NIE works: the description of human actors, feasibility, firms as gov...... hiện toàn bộ
Reading About the Financial Crisis: A Twenty-One-Book Review
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 50 Số 1 - Trang 151-178 - 2012
Andrew W. Lo
The recent financial crisis has generated many distinct perspectives from various quarters. In this article, I review a diverse set of twenty-one books on the crisis, eleven written by academics, and ten written by journalists and one former Treasury Secretary. No single narrative emerges from this broad and often contradictory collection of interpretations, but the sheer variety of concl...... hiện toàn bộ
The Economic Effects of Energy Price Shocks
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 46 Số 4 - Trang 871-909 - 2008
Lutz Kilian
Large fluctuations in energy prices have been a distinguishing characteristic of the U.S. economy since the 1970s. Turmoil in the Middle East, rising energy prices in the United States, and evidence of global warming recently have reignited interest in the link between energy prices and economic performance. This paper addresses a number of the key issues in this debate: What are energy p...... hiện toàn bộ
Climate Change Policy: What Do the Models Tell Us?
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 51 Số 3 - Trang 860-872 - 2013
Robert S. Pindyck
Very little. A plethora of integrated assessment models (IAMs) have been constructed and used to estimate the social cost of carbon (SCC) and evaluate alternative abatement policies. These models have crucial flaws that make them close to useless as tools for policy analysis: certain inputs (e.g., the discount rate) are arbitrary, but have huge effects on the SCC estimates the models prod...... hiện toàn bộ
Behavioral Contract Theory
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 52 Số 4 - Trang 1075-1118 - 2014
Botond Kőszegi
This review provides a critical survey of psychology-and-economics (“behavioral-economics”) research in contract theory. First, I introduce the theories of individual decision making most frequently used in behavioral contract theory, and formally illustrate some of their implications in contracting settings. Second, I provide a more comprehensive (but informal) survey of the psychology-an...... hiện toàn bộ
Top Incomes in the Long Run of History
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 49 Số 1 - Trang 3-71 - 2011
Anthony B. Atkinson, Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez
A recent literature has constructed top income shares time series over the long run for more than twenty countries using income tax statistics. Top incomes represent a small share of the population but a very significant share of total income and total taxes paid. Hence, aggregate economic growth per capita and Gini inequality indexes are sensitive to excluding or including top incomes. W...... hiện toàn bộ
Looking into the Black Box: A Survey of the Matching Function
Journal of Economic Literature - Tập 39 Số 2 - Trang 390-431 - 2001
Bárbara Petrongolo, Christopher A. Pissarides
This paper surveys the microfoundations, empirical evidence, and estimation issues underlying the aggregate matching function. There is no consensus yet on microfoundations but one is emerging on estimation. An aggregate, constant returns, Cobb-Douglas matching function with hires as a function of vacancies and unemployment has been successfully estimated for several countries. Recent wor...... hiện toàn bộ
