Microeconomics is fundamentally about agents who have preferences, form expectations and face constraints (Manski, 2001). This dissertation explores each mechanism in three very different contexts. The first chapter focuses on expectations, the second on preferences and the third on constraints. The three different contexts are diving for sea urchins, gambling on weight loss and studying at the library.

This is a collection of essays in applied microeconomics. The first chapter explores late life savings behavior, the second examines the effects of housing voucher policies, and the third provides evidence that nurture effects of both cognitive and non-cognitive skills are large. Chapter 1 is joint with Siha Lee. Bequests may be a key driver of late life savings behavior and, more broadly, a determinant of intergenerational inequality. However, distinguishing bequest motives from precautionary savings is challenging. Using the Health and Retirement Study, we exploit an unanticipated change in Social Security benefits, commonly called the Social Security Notch, as an instrument to identify the effect of benefits on bequests. We show that an increase in benefits leads to a sizable increase in bequest amounts. We combine our instrumental variable estimates with a model of late life savings behavior that accounts for mortality risk and unobserved expenditure shocks to identify bequest motives. Chapter 2 is joint work with Morris Davis, Jesse Gregory, and Daniel Hartley. We study how households choose neighborhoods, how neighborhoods affect child ability, and how housing vouchers influence neighborhood choices and child outcomes. We use two new panel datasets with tract-level detail for Los Angeles county to estimate a dynamic model of optimal tract-level location choice for renting households and, separately, the impact of living in a given tract on child test scores (which we call "child ability" throughout). We simulate optimal location choices and changes in child ability of the poorest households in our sample under various housing-voucher policies. Chapter 3 is joint work with Jiaming Soh. While many studies have shown that parental skills are important for child outcomes, whether this derives from non-genetic mechanisms is less clear. We investigate the nurture effects of parental cognitive and socio-emotional skills in producing college attainment of offspring, modelling socio-emotional skills as latent factors based on the Big Five taxonomy of personality. By studying a sample of adopted children whose parents are respondents of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, we estimate non-genetic effects of parental skills on college attainment and find that they are sizeable.

Essays in Economic Theory, first published in 1983, combines two essays on game theory and its applications in economics. The first, "Learning Behavior and the Noncooperative Equilibrium", considers whether an adaptive justification, like those commonly available for the optimization models frequently employed elsewhere in economics, can be found for the Nash noncooperative equilibrium. The second essay, "A Game of Fair Division", was motivated by the desire to find attractive methods for solving allocation problems and bargaining disputes that are simple enough to provide useful alternatives to existing methods. It studies in detail one such simple method: the classical "divide-and-choose" procedure. This book will be of interest to students of economics.

The author's most important papers in a number of areas of applied microeconomic theory, many previously presented as articles in various journals during the 1970s-1990s, are collected here under categories of strategic behavior, efficiency wages, and applied price theory. Specific subjects include the durability of capital as a barrier to entry, agent compensation and the limits of bonding, and supporting collusion by choice of inferior technologies. Other topics covered are the economy of high wages, technology-trading coalitions in supergames, and the geometry of supply, demand, and competitive market structure with economies of scope. Eaton teaches economics at the University of Calgary, Canada. This work lacks a subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This book covers topics in applied microeconomics and focuses on two areas of economic research, namely political economy and social preferences. The first part takes as a starting point Anthony Downs' famous claim that voters do not have an incentive to gather information on politics and analyzes the arising consequences for voters' and governments' behaviour. Part II covers the field of social preferences and investigates the consequences of individual preferences including the payoffs of reference persons. The first part of this book provides answers to a number of questions related to Downs' proposition. First, do voters indeed rely on cues? If so, on which cues do they rely? And how do they use cues within the process of decision making? Second, if voters are not fully informed and rely on information shortcuts, what kind of incentives for politicians does this create? And, finally, how do politicians react? The second part focuses on social preferences, a topic in economics that has gained a lot of attention in recent years. Concerns for relative standing with respect to income, consumption, and personal attributes are investigated experimentally - with a particular emphasis on explaining potential differences between items.

This reader encourages students to appreciate the power of the market, including specific examples and addressing questions on whether markets actually work well and offering evidence that market failures are not as serious or as common as claimed.
