Macroeconomic Impact Of The Financial Crisis On Armenia, King Banaian Jul 2009

Macroeconomic Impact Of The Financial Crisis On Armenia, King Banaian

Economics Faculty Working Papers

As a small, open economy with a small export sector, Armenia has experienced a large amount of stress from the financial crisis. The government exited a peg-like exchange rate regime after a drain of foreign reserves. The loss of reserves was put to loss of revenues from mining exports, but can also be put to the effects of global financial crisis on remittance inflows. Worldwide, the World Bank expects remittances to fall from US$305 billion in 2008 to $290 billion in 2009. In this paper I explore the effect of global crisis on the loss of reserves supporting the monetary …

Loving The Longshot: Risk Taking With Skewed Gambles, Philip Grossman, Catherine Eckel Jan 2009

Loving The Longshot: Risk Taking With Skewed Gambles, Philip Grossman, Catherine Eckel

Economics Seminar Series

To examine the effect of increased skewness on risk taking, we conduct controlled laboratory experiments. Our instrument is an adaption of the Eckel and Grossman (2002, 2008) risk measure (with six gamble choices). The Eckel and Grossman measure is a simplest, easy to understand, exercise that gives sufficient heterogeneity in choices while at the same time minimizing errors. Its simplicity also makes it easy to adapt. The adapted gamble choices are designed to have the same expected payoffs and risk as the original gamble choices, but to exhibit increasing degrees of right skewness. The adapted instrument is used to address …
