Using the sticky price monetary model of exchange rate determination and the sunk cost model of trade hysteresis, we … show that a sufficiently large policy misalignment can induce hysteresis in the trade balance and thereby alter the steady …, policy, and econometric implications. Since hysteresis in our model can entail industrial dislocation and the scrappage of …

We evaluate manufacturing firms' responses to changes in the real exchange rate (RER) using detailed firm-level data for a large set of countries for the period 2001-2010. We uncover the following stylized facts about regional variation of manufacturing firms' integration into global value...

We explore the effect of income mobility and the persistence of redistributive tax policy on the level of redistribution in democratic societies. An infinite-horizon theoretical model is developed, and the properties of the equilibrium tax rate and the degree of after-tax inequality are...

People's fairness preferences are an important constraint for what constitutes an acceptable economic transaction, yet little is known about how these preferences are formed. In this paper, we provide clean evidence that previous transactions play an important role in shaping perceptions of...
