This paper studies optimal task assignments in a setting where agents are expectation-based loss averse according to KoszegiRabin (2006) and KoszegiRabin (2007) and are compensated according to an aggregated performance measure in which tasks are technologically independent. We show that the...

The "histogram method" (Young, 2010), while the standard approach for analyzing distributional dynamics in heterogeneous agent models, is linear in optimal policies. We introduce a novel method that captures nonlinearities of distributional dynamics. This method solves the distributional...

We propose a simple risk-adjusted linear approximation to solve a large class of dynamic models with time-varying and non-Gaussian risk. Our approach generalizes lognormal affine approximations commonly used in the macro-finance literature and can be seen as a first-order perturbation around the...

Simons̕ (1955) famous paper was one of the first to cast doubt on the validity of rational choice theory; it has been … supplemented by many more papers in the last three and a half decades. Nevertheless, rational choice theory plays a crucial role in … classical and neoclassical economic theory, which presumes a completely rational agent. The central points characterizing such …
