The Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?
Staff Working Paper 2019-33
Gabriela Galassi,
David Koll,
Lukas Mayr
We document a substantial positive correlation of employment status between mothers and their children in the United States, linking data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and the NLSY79 Children and Young Adults. After controlling for ability, education and wealth, a one-year increase in a mother’s employment is associated with six weeks more employment of her child on average.

Flight from Safety: How a Change to the Deposit Insurance Limit Affects Households’ Portfolio Allocation
Staff Working Paper 2019-29
H. Evren Damar,
Reint Gropp,
Adi Mordel
Deposit insurance protects depositors from failing banks, thus making insured deposits risk-free. When a deposit insurance limit is increased, some deposits that previously were uninsured become insured, thereby increasing the share of risk-free assets in households’ portfolios. This increase cannot simply be undone by households, because to invest in uninsured deposits, a household must first invest in insured deposits up to the limit. This basic insight is the starting point of the analysis in this paper.

The most extreme events, such as economic crises, are rare but often have a great impact. It is difficult to precisely determine the likelihood of such events because the sample is small.

Are Long-Horizon Expectations (De-)Stabilizing? Theory and Experiments
Staff Working Paper 2019-27
George Evans,

Isabelle Salle,
Bruce McGough
Most models in finance assume that agents make trading plans over the infinite future. We consider instead that they are boundedly rational and may only form forecasts over a limited horizon.

Lending Standards, Productivity and Credit Crunches
Staff Working Paper 2019-25
Jonathan Swarbrick
We propose a macroeconomic model in which adverse selection in investment drives the amplification of macroeconomic fluctuations, in line with prominent roles played by the credit crunch and collapse of the asset-backed security market in the financial crisis.
