• Rationalizing the Penn world table: True multilateral indices for international comparisons of real income AI翻译
  作者：Neary, JP

  摘要：Real incomes are routinely compared internationally using methods that correct for deviations from purchasing power parity. The most widely used of these is the Geary method which, though theoretically suspect, underlies the Penn World Table. This paper provides a theoretical foundation for the Geary method which I call the GAIA (Geary-Allen International Accounts) system. I show that the Geary method is exact when preferences are non-homothetic Leontief and, more generally, gives a (possibly ...
• Do police reduce crime? Estimates using the allocation of police forces after a terrorist attack AI翻译

  摘要：An important challenge in the crime literature is to isolate causal effects of police on crime. Following a terrorist attack on the main Jewish center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in July 1994, all Jewish institutions received police protection. Thus, this hideous event induced a geographical allocation of police forces that can be presumed exogenous in a crime regression. Using data on the location of car thefts before and after the attack, we find a large deterrent effect of observable police...
• Addiction and cue-triggered decision processes AI翻译
  作者：Bernheim, BD; Rangel, A

  摘要：We propose a model of addiction based on three premises: (i) use among addicts is frequently a mistake; (ii) experience sensitizes an individual to environmental cues that trigger mistaken usage; (iii) addicts understand and manage their susceptibilities. We argue that these premises find support in evidence from psychology, neuroscience, and clinical practice. The model is tractable and generates a plausible mapping between behavior and the characteristics of the user, substance, and environm...

• Pareto-efficient international taxation AI翻译
  作者：Keen, M; Wildasin, D
  作者单位：International Monetary Fund; University of Kentucky
  摘要：This paper analyzes Pareto-efficient international tax regimes. Because every countryfaces its own national budget constraint, the Diamond-Mirrlees production efficiency theorem, which underlies key tenets of policy advice in international taxation-the desirability of destination basis for commodity taxation, of the residence principle for capital income taxation, and of free trade-does not apply. The paper establishes conditions-relating to the availability of explicit or implicit devices for...
