TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the effects of the removal of the credit risk guarantees provided by the government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) in a model with agents heterogeneous in income and house price risk.
Abstract: We analyze the removal of the credit-risk guarantees provided by the government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) in a model with agents heterogeneous in income and house price risk. We find that wealth inequality increases, driven by higher mortgage spreads and housing rents. Housing holdings become more concentrated. Foreclosures fall. The
removal benefits high-income households, while hurting low- and mid-income households (renters and highly leveraged mortgagors with conforming loans). GSE reform requires
compensating transfers, sufficiently high elasticity of rental supply, or linking GSE reform
with the elimination of the mortgage interest deduction.

TL;DR: The suggested procedure yields Best Linear Unbiased Estimates, given the historical record of previously disaggregated figures, concurrent data in the form of a preliminary series and an aggregated value for the current period.
Abstract: A recursive procedure for temporally disaggregating a time series is proposed. In practice, it is superior to standard non-recursive procedures in several ways: (i) previously disaggregated data need not be modified, (ii) calculations become simpler and (iii) data storage requirements are minimized. The suggested procedure yields Best Linear Unbiased Estimates, given the historical record of previously disaggregated figures, concurrent data in the form of a preliminary series and an aggregated value for the current period. A test statistic is derived for validating the numerical results obtained in practice.

TL;DR: An experiment designed to shed light on an empirical puzzle observed by Dufwenberg and Gneezy that the size of the foregone outside option by the first mover does not affect the behavior of the second mover in a lost wallet game uses paper money certificates passed between the subjects rather than having subjects write down numbers representing their decisions.
Abstract: This paper reports an experiment designed to shed light on an empirical puzzle observed by Dufwenberg and Gneezy (2000) that the size of the foregone outside option by the first mover does not affect the behavior of the second mover in a lost wallet game. Our conjecture was that the original protocol may not have made the size of the forgone outside option salient to second movers. Therefore, we change two features of the Dufwenberg and Gneezy protocol: (i) instead of the strategy method we implement a direct response method (sequential play) for the decision of the second mover; and (ii) we use paper money certificates that are passed between the subjects rather than having subjects write down numbers representing their decisions. We observe that our procedure yields qualitatively the same result as the Dufwenberg and Gneezy experiment, i.e., the second movers do not respond to the change in the outside option of the first movers.
