Working Paper
Incorporating insurance rate estimates and differential mortality into net marginal Social Security tax rate calculations
Armour, Brian S.; Pitts, M. Melinda (2002)
This paper extends the literature on net marginal tax rates created by the Social Security program by including variations in both the probability of being eligible to receive benefits and income-related life expectancy. The previous literature has found that women incur a lower net marginal tax rate because they have longer life expectancies. The results presented in this paper indicate that including variations in eligibility for benefits partially reverses this result by increasing net marginal Social Security tax rates for older women. In addition, the existing literature has shown that ...

Insurance industry reinvestment: the Massachusetts experience
Luquetta, Andrea Caliz; Nathan, Luxman; Kriesberg, Joseph (1999-01)
Joseph Kriesberg and Andrea Caliz Luquetta of the Massachusetts Association of Community Development Corporations (MACDC) outline the provisions in a new statewide law, An Act Insuring Community Investment and the Equitable Taxation of Insurance Companies in Massachusetts.

Working Paper
Deposit insurance, capital requirements, and financial stability
Kopcke, Richard W. (2000)
This paper assesses the effects of insurance and capital requirements on assets' equilibrium returns in a capital-asset-pricing model in which intermediaries possess better information than the public about the yields on a set of assets. Equilibrium returns depend on two risk premiums that intermediaries incur on their liabilities: an explicit premium that reflects the public's view of the risks inherent in intermediaries' assets and an implicit premium that reflects intermediaries' risk of losing a share of their rent by leveraging their capital. Insurance reduces intermediaries' cost of ...

Working Paper
Affective decision making: a theory of optimism bias
Brown, Donald J.; Bracha, Anat (2010)
Optimism bias is inconsistent with the independence of decision weights and payoffs found in models of choice under risk, such as expected utility theory and prospect theory. Hence, to explain the evidence suggesting that agents are optimistically biased, we propose an alternative model of risky choice, affective decision making, where decision weights?which we label affective or perceived risk?are endogenized. Affective decision making (ADM) is a strategic model of choice under risk where we posit two cognitive processes?the "rational" and the "emotional" process. The two processes ...

PMI reform: good intentions gone awry
Longhofer, Stanley D. (1997-03)
An argument that the legislation aimed at making private mortgage insurance more fair and affordable for homeowners could actually hurt the very borrowers it is intended to help by restricting the availability of mortgage loans and making them more costly.
