Analyzing account-level data from an account aggregator, we find that households increase consumption when they receive expected tax refunds, as if face liquidity constraints. However, these same smooth making payments in other years, primarily by transferring funds among liquid accounts. Even carrying credit card debt payments, and even highly spend out of refunds. This behavior is inconsisten...

We study the impact of group-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT ) for individuals selected from general population poor households in rural Ghana (N = 7,227). Results one to three months after program show strong impacts on mental and perceived physical health, socioemotional skills, economic self-perceptions. These effects hold regardless baseline distress. argue that this is because CBT ...

Bertrand, Kamenica, and Pan (2015) document that in the United States there is a discontinuity to right of 0.5 distribution households according female share total earnings, which they attribute existence gender identity norm. We provide an alternative explanation for this discontinuity. Using linked employer-employee data from Finland, we show emerges as result equalization convergence earning...

Previous work has shown that preferences are not always stable across time, but surprisingly little is known about the reasons for this instability. I examine whether variation in people's emotions over time predicts changes risk attitudes. Using a large-panel dataset, identify happiness, anger, and fear as significant correlates of within-person Robustness checks indicate limited role alternat...

We provide a critique of the methods that have been used to derive measures of income risk and draw attention to the importance of demographic factors as a source of income risk. We also propose new measures of the contribution to total income risk of demographic and labour market factors. Empirical evidence supporting our arguments is provided using data from the British Household Survey. JEL ...

Background Systemic Mastocytosis (SM) is a very rare disease. Most common manifestations are skin related or anaphylaxis, however almost one third of patients may present with concomitant osteoporosis (OP) resulting in fragility fracture (FF) around 5 -37% affecting lumbar spine (LS) young men. Alcohol consumption, high serum tryptase level, and low femoral T score have been described as risk f...

This review paper provides an overview of the application of behavioral public economics to energy efficiency. I document policymakers’ arguments for “paternalistic” energy efficiency policies, formalize with a simple model of misoptimizing consumers, review and critique empirical evidence, and suggest future research directions. While empirical results suggest that policies to address imperfec...

This paper shows that smoking intensity, i.e. the amount of nicotine extracted per cigarette smoked, responds to changes in excise taxes and tobacco prices. We exploit data covering the period 1988 to 2006 across many US states. Moreover, we provide new evidence on the importance of cotinine measures in explaining long-run smoking behaviour and we investigate the sensitivity of smoking cessatio...
