TL;DR: In this paper, the authors exploit a policy discontinuity at U.S. state borders to identify the eects of unemployment insurance policies on unemployment and find that most of the persistent increase in unemployment during the Great Recession can be accounted for by the unprecedented extensions of unemployment benefit eligibility.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how households in different segments of the wealth distribution were affected by income declines, and how they changed their expenditures differentially during the aggregate downturn and find that wealth inequality can significantly amplify the impact of an aggregate shock, and it does so if the distribution features a sufficiently large fraction of households with very little net worth that sharply increase their saving (i.e., they are not hand-to-mouth) as the recession hits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present detailed calculations of nonthermal synchrotron and synchron self-Compton (SSC) spectra radiated by blast waves that are energized by interactions with a uniform surrounding medium.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors build a model of the US economy with multiple aggregate shocks that generate fluctuations in equilibrium house prices through counterfactual experiments, and study the housing boom-bust around t
