Excited to FINALLY release toughest+most rewarding paper I've worked on...

….we attack a 150 year old Walras question that's gone unanswered, not for lack of trying (Hicks, Samuelson, Arrow; our chances?😱)...

Q: Is the market equilibrium stable or unstable?¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I was working as an RA, one thing that constantly frustrated me was how much useful data wasn’t public.

District-level night lights data for India.

[Priyam Verma @PriyamEcon]

We find that government expenditures are smoothed as if guided by a planner with a discount rate similar to that typically found for consumers. @UH_Econ @xmgbautista @econ_anniehsu @cepr_org

How US state governments save over business cycle despite facing stringent fiscal rules like "Balanced Budget"? We show that the savings happen through substantial cash balance held by government agencies outside of the general fund.

[Priyam Verma @PriyamEcon]

The popularly assumed savings account "Rainy Day Funds" that is managed by the legislature play a minor role in smoothing fluctuations. We estimate a state government discount rate using a buffer stock model, fitted to fiscal data consolidated over all agencies.
