Static and dynamic inefficiencies in an optimizing model of epidemics
Garibaldi, Pietro; Moen, Espen R.; Pissaridēs, … - 2020
In an optimizing model of epidemics several externalities arise when agents shield to avoid infection. Optimizing behaviour delays herd immunity but also reduces overall infections to approximately the minimum consistent with herd immunity. For reasonable parameter values, and with no vaccine,...

Optimal travel restrictions in epidemics
Shi, Wei; Qiu, Yun; Yu, Pei; Chen, Xi - 2022
Travel restrictions are often imposed to limit the spread of infectious diseases. As uniform restrictions can be inefficient and incur unnecessarily high costs, this paper examines the optimal design of restrictions that target specific travel routes. We propose a model with trade-offs between...

Heckman, James J.; Heinrich, Carolyn J.; Smith, Jeffrey A. - 2002
This paper examines the performance of the JTPA performance system, a widely emulated model for inducing efficiency in government organizations. We present a model of how performance incentives may distort bureaucratic decisions. We define cream skimming within the model. Two major empirical...

Whether, when and how to extend unemployment benefits: theory and application to COVID-19
Mitman, Kurt; Rabinovich, Stanislav - 2021
We investigate the optimal response of unemployment insurance to economic shocks, both with and without commitment. The optimal policy with commitment follows a modified Baily-Chetty formula that accounts for job search responses to future UI benefit changes. As a result, the optimal policy with...

Vaccines at work
Hoffmann, Manuel; Mosquera, Roberto; Chadi, Adrian - 2020
Influenza vaccination could be a cost-effective way to reduce costs in terms of human lives and productivity losses, but low take-up rates and vaccination unintentionally causing moral hazard may decrease its benefits. We ran a natural field experiment in cooperation with a bank in Ecuador,...

Households in transit : COVID-19 and the changing measurement of welfare
Caron, Laura; Tiongson, Erwin R. - 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic placed new constraints and prices on commuting to work around the world. However, traditional methods of measuring household welfare (and, accordingly, poverty and inequality) based on expenditures have not considered these changes. First, we present theory showing...
