There is an increasing interest in the concept of social exclusion and the related concept of social isolation and their potential role in understanding inequality. We examine the degree to which voluntary separation from social activities during adolescence affects adult wages. It is well-known...

between rational and irrational beliefs. Relatedly, the Bayesian approach, when applied to the Grand State Space, is … because there are many situations in which there is not sufficient information for an individual to generate a Bayesian prior …. It follows that the Bayesian approach is neither sufficient not necessary for the rationality of beliefs. …

The usual index of leading indicators has constant weights on its components and is therefore implicitly premised on the assumption that the dynamical properties of the economy remain the same over time and across phases of the business cycle. We explore the possibility that the business cycle...

process by which beliefs are generated and justified. We argue that the Bayesian approach is unsatisfactory for this purpose …, for several reasons. First, the Bayesian approach begins with a prior, and models only a very limited form of learning …, namely, Bayesian updating. Thus, it is inherently incapable of describing the formation of prior beliefs. Second, there are …
