Important features of certain economic models may be revealed by studying positive eigenfunctions of appropriately chosen linear operators. Examples include long-run risk-return relationships in dynamic asset pricing models and components of marginal utility in external habit formation models....

This paper proposes a methodology for analyzing nonlinear pricing data with an illustration on cellular phone. The model incorporates consumer exclusion. Assuming a known tariff, we establish identification of the model primitives using the first-order conditions of both the firm and the...

We prove the uniqueness of linear i.i.d. representations of heavy-tailed processes whose distribution belongs to the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable law, with $\alpha2$. This shows the possibility to identify nonparametrically both the sequence of two-sided moving average coefficients...
