    Professor Catherine Wolfram and her coauthors discuss how digital collateral is being used to expand credit by significantly reducing default rates in an article published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics.
  3. Who Benefits from Retirement Saving Incentives in the U.S.? Evidence on Gaps in Retirement Wealth: Accumulation by Race and Parental Income (working paper)
    Professors Taha Choukhmane and Lawrence Schmidt and their coauthors explore how the subsidies in defined contribution retirement plans are distributed across demographics and parental income.
  4. Failing Banks (working paper)
    Professor Emil Verner and his coauthors in a study published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York analyze the causes of bank failures from 1865 to 2023 and show that deteriorating bank fundamentals and not bank runs cause bank failures.
