摘要：We estimate a structural, nominal, life-cycle portfolio choice model with exogenous housing tenure and use shopping costs to generate money demand. Homeowners (renters) with negative (positive) net bond positions react differently to changing inflation risks. The correlation between real bond and real stock returns emerges as the strongest inflation risk quantitatively and generates large increases in stock market demand for homeowners in a 1970s counterfactual. Higher expected inflation encou...

摘要：Using online lending microdata, I show that sleep has important consequences for household financial outcomes. Insufficient sleep raises default risk, particularly for loan applications made in the morning when the effects of a lack of sleep are strongest. For identification, I apply a spatial regression discontinuity design leveraging exogenous discontinuities in sunset time across time zone boundaries, supplemented by analyses utilizing daylight savings time shifts. The results suggest that ...

摘要：This paper empirically investigates how exposures of an industry's cash flows and stock returns to discount rate shocks are affected by the market concentration of its upstream and downstream industries. In the cross-section of U.S. industries, we find that industries' cash flows and stock returns are more negatively exposed to fluctuations in the aggregate discount rate if their upstream or downstream industries are more concentrated. These industries also have higher expected stock returns a...

摘要：Given data on the choices made by consumers for different offer sets, a key challenge is to develop parsimonious models that describe and predict consumer choice behavior while being amenable to prescriptive tasks, such as pricing and assortment optimization. The marginal distribution model (MDM) is one such model, which requires only the specification of marginal distributions of the random utilities. This paper aims to establish necessary and sufficient conditions for given choice data to be...

摘要：In many situations, an abundance of misleading evidence-such as fake customer reviews-can lead to false or deceptive conclusions. We experimentally investigate individual and collective decision-making in an information structure in which signals can be correlated, depending on the state of the world. In this setting, too much evidence pointing in one direction has the potential to mislead, necessitating a level of sophistication for rational decisionmaking. Overall, participants' performance ...

摘要：Using data on over 160,000 U.S. private pension plans, we analyze the investment performance of defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) plans. We find a positive asset size effect in performance, stronger in DB plans partly because of greater economies of scale in administrative expenses. Small DB plans underperform small DC plans on various performance metrics and face the highest termination risk. After adjusting for investable passive benchmarks, DC plans outperform DB plans in a...

摘要：Firms are exposed to litigation risk from various stakeholders, including investors, customers, and regulators, and prior research has shown that such risk shapes a range of corporate policies. In this study, we develop a simple and transparent measure of firmlevel litigation risk by parsing SEC 10-K annual reports. This measure demonstrates strong predictability for lawsuits, even after controlling for firm characteristics, existing lawsuits, geographic factors, and various fixed effects, inc...

摘要：When liabilities are deemed improbable or cannot be reliably estimated by management, they are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, they are disclosed qualitatively in the company's filings. Examples include obligations related to pending or future lawsuits, product liability, environmental matters, false advertising, or patent and copyright infringements. We refer to these obligations as intangible liabilities. We construct a firmlevel, text-based measure of intangible liabilities (IL)...

摘要：We analyze the market quality of centralized crypto exchanges and decentralized blockchain-based venues (DEXs) using a unique and comprehensive data set. Focusing on two fundamental aspects, transaction costs and deviations from the no-arbitrage condition, we estimate the causal effect of gas fees on DEX market quality. We show that these fixed costs impose a significant burden on relatively small trades and cause persistent arbitrage deviations. Conversely, DEXs offer more competitive transac...
