摘要：
we introduce our gdsge framework and a novel global solution method, called simultaneous transition and policy function iterations (stpfis), for solving dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models. the framework encompasses many well-known incomplete markets models with highly nonlinear dynamics such as models of financial crises and models with rare disasters. using consistency equations, our method is most effective at solving models featuring endogenous state variables with implicit laws of motion such as wealth or consumption shares. finally, we incorporate this method in an automated and publicly available toolbox that solves many important models in the aforementioned topics, and in many cases, more efficiently and/or accurately than their original algorithms.

摘要：
the presence of asymmetric information presents significant challenges in designing mechanisms for achieving full implementation. these challenges stem from the exclusivity of private information, whereby agents with access to such information can manipulate their reports to their advantage. mclean and postlewaite (2002) introduced the concept of information size to quantify the degree of exclusiveness of private information. in this study, we explore the full implementation problem in environments with varying information sizes. we demonstrate that in a special case where no agent can conceal their private information when aggregated with others' true information, full implementation of any social choice can be achieved through a two-stage mechanism in initial rationalizability. additionally, we analyze the broader conflict and trade-off between the size of private information and the efficiency of achieving full implementation. our findings underscore the intricate relationship between information asymmetry and mechanism efficiency in addressing asymmetric information scenarios.

urban electricity powers rural farms: evidence from china’s first adoption of electric irrigation

摘要：
this paper investigates the effect of agricultural technology on rural welfare by analyzing china’s first adoption of electric irrigation. in 1924, rural areas of wujin county in jiangsu province unexpectedly gained access to electric irrigation from a nearby urban power plant. based on county-level panel data from 1912 to 1933, difference-in-differences analysis and the synthetic control method show positive effects on farmland values but not on farm wages. further analysis using newly published household-by-crop-level data illustrates that access to electric irrigation increased crop yields and the irrigated area for rice, the most water-sensitive crop, and reduced agricultural labor inputs.

摘要：
in panel predictive regression, the nickell bias is mixed with the stambaugh bias when regressors are persistent, imposing challenges against valid inference. this paper proposes a new estimator, which we call iv-x-differencing (ivxd) to restore the standard inferential procedure based on t-statistic. this estimator is constructed based on a panel data extension of the ivx technique in time series. the baseline panel ivx is asymptotically biased when the cross-sectional dimension n and the time dimension t are both large. to make bias correction feasible, we plug in the x-differencing estimator into an analytic formula. the bias-corrected estimator delivers a unified inferential procedure for the predictive regression that covers the stationary, mildly integrated, and the local-to-unity cases. in contrast, unified inference collapses if either of the two components is estimated by the familiar within-group estimator.

摘要：
government guarantees on collateral yield a multiplier effect, whereby levying one unit of tax to provide guarantees can amplify loan volumes by more than one unit. the policy works through facilitating efficient utilization of the collateral value in excess of the optimal investment scale when firms are using information-sensitive debt contracts, and through alleviating the limitations imposed by the no-information-production constraint when firms are using information-insensitive contracts. appropriate levels of tax and guarantee help the economy achieve the socially optimal allocation. when the government has incentive to renege on its commitment, a negative shock to collateral quality can catalyze a crisis due to equilibrium collapse prompted by a breakdown of trust. transition to a market-based insurance system and a debt swap program represent two avenues to address the financial crises.
