Private information in risk and risk aversion are key features of insurance. We show that their joint distribution is identified despite multivariate types and a finite number of coverages. We propose an estimation method illustrated by a Monte Carlo study https://t.co/TYjN1327Qk https://t.co/w2th66Pjnc

Do conditional cash transfers (CCT) improve learning? Using a dynamic model integrating value-added and school-choice, we show Mexico's Prospera CCT program significantly boosted cumulative achievement, especially for the disadvantaged @susanwparker_mx https://t.co/WThgt5s9jg https://t.co/MwoE9gUJeU

Sequential estimation for static games of incomplete information with unobserved heterogeneity and large state space is challenging due to large numbers of matchings. We construct a novel multistep moment selection estimator to handle it. @Xuetao_Shi https://t.co/aEkckJQJLd https://t.co/SnnaAEhSDG

We show that under stratified randomization standard forms of regression adjustment can be inefficient for estimating treatment effects. To fix this, we provide design-tailored regression adjustments that are optimal among all linearly adjusted estimators https://t.co/r1lXBwcM5O https://t.co/vgDcMMT3sH

We are excited to announce that Dacheng Xiu (University of Chicago), who is an expert in financial economics, joined the board of associate editors on July 1st 2024.

Subjective beliefs about survival give rise to discount factor heterogeneity and differences in savings behavior. We show that belief biases, especially among the unhealthy, can explain up to a fifth of the health-wealth gap https://t.co/gr8urKb88p https://t.co/kE1m8qQTIH
