Boards hire and fire CEOs based on imperfect information. Using comprehensive data on 28 cohorts in Sweden, we analyze the role of a potentially important unobserved attribute - CEO health - in corporate governance. We find CEOs are significantly healthier than the population and other highskill...

We show that preference recoverability and welfare analysis à la Varian (1982) may not be informative enough, when … the weak axiom holds, but when consumers are not utility maximizers. We clarify the reasons for this failure and provide …

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite data set of price and demand observations to be consistent with an additively separable preference. We do so without imposing concavity on any of the subutility functions or convexity of the budget set a priori, thereby generalizing...
