Kant et les conditions "conditionnées" de la possibilité de l’expérience
(Università degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi, 2017)
The aim of this paper is to set out some features of Kant’s conception of transcendental
philosophy. I would like to argue that this philosophy, although it is situated at a higher level of
discourse than common knowledge, ...
Monetary policy in sudden stop-prone economies
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)
In a model featuring sudden stops and pecuniary externalities, I show that the ability to use capital controls has radical implications for the conduct of monetary policy. Absent capital controls, following an inflation ...
Robust design in monotonic matching markets : a case for firm-proposing deferred-acceptance
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-05)
We study two-sided matching markets among workers and firms. Workers seek one position at a firm but firms may employ several workers. In many applications those markets are monotonic: leaving positions unfilled is costly ...
Positively responsive collection choice rules and majority rule: a generalization of May's theorem to many alternatives
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-04)
A collective choice rule selects a set of alternatives for each collective choice problem. Suppose that the alternative ’x’, is in the set selected by a collective choice rule for some collective choice problem. Now suppose ...
Bootstrapping factor models with cross sectional dependence
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-07)
We consider bootstrap methods for factor-augmented regressions with cross sectional dependence among idiosyncratic errors. This is important to capture the bias of the OLS estimator derived recently by Gonçalves and Perron ...
The housing boom and selection into entrepreneurship
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-05)
We provide evidence that the boom in housing prices occurred in the early 2000 distorted the selection of individuals that opened a business. A simple model of collateral financing predicts an increase in entry into ...
Discrimination without taste : How discrimination can spillover and persist
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)
We introduce coordination failures driven by beliefs regarding the presence of taste discriminators as a channel of discrimination in productive activities requiring the input of multiple agents. We show that discrimination ...
The hard problem of prediction for conflict prevention
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2019-04)
There is a rising interest in conflict prevention and this interest provides a strong motivation for better conflict forecasting. A key problem of conflict forecasting for prevention is that predicting the start of conflict ...
Asset pledgeability and endogenously leveraged bubbles
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)
We develop a simple model of defaultable debt and rational bubbles in the price of an asset, which can be pledged as collateral in a competitive credit pool. When the asset pledgeability is low, the down payment is high, ...
Gale's fixed tax for exchanging houses
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)
We consider the taxation of exchanges among a set of agents where each agent owns one object. Agents may have different valuations for the objects and they need to pay taxes for exchanges. Using basic properties, we show ...
