Our study leverages detailed résumé data of bank regulators to examine the impact of their early-career experiences with the S&L crisis during the 1980s and 1990s on banking supervision in their later careers. We find regulators with banking crisis experiences in their early careers are...

We study a variational inequality problem whose domain is defined by infinitely many linear inequalities. A discretization method and an analytic center based inexact cutting plane method are proposed. Under proper assumptions, the convergence results for both methods are given. We also provide...

This paper provides the first comparative analysis of the preference for social status across countries. We develop and provide support for two hypotheses: the cultural foundations hypothesis, which claims that individuals' preferences for status are rooted in persistent cultural values, and the...

A huge research literature, across the behavioral and social sciences, uses information on individuals' subjective well-being. These are responses to questions ﾖ asked by survey interviewers or medical personnel ﾖ such as "how happy do you feel on a scale from 1 to 4?" Yet there is little...

This paper uses new Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data to provide the first estimates of well-being across the states of America. From this sample of 1.3 million US citizens, we analyze measures of life satisfaction and mental health. Adjusting for people's characteristics, states...

We employ a threshold vector error correction model approach to investigate the impact of China's exchange rate marketization reform in August 2015 on the linkage between renminbi (RMB) onshore (CNY) and offshore (CNH) exchange rates and the impact of post-reform policy interventions by the...
