Our results highlight the superiority of predictive pools over Bayesian model averaging and the need to combine models when none can be deemed as the true data generating process. In addition, we find that the optimal across-model robust policy rule exhibits attenuation, and nests a price level rule which has good robustness properties.

We bring the model to data by estimating it on the Bitcoin Market with two contributions, relying on methods from Machine Learning.

In parallel, it reduces short-term credit creation and destruction, effectively reallocating credit toward longer maturities. Focusing on two effective lower bound periods, we show that monetary policy prompted a reshuffling of credit toward financially constrained firms, notably small, young, and high-default-probability firms.

Our framework departs from existing discrete-time robust trading strategies, which are typically limited to single or paired assets and embed asset correlation within the trading strategy itself, rather than as an inherent market characteristic. In the nominal case, where model parameters are known, we demonstrate that the proposed policies ensure survivability and probabilistic positivity. We derive an analytic expression for the worst-case expected gain-loss and prove sufficient conditions under which the proposed policies can maintain <em>positive expected profits</em>, even within a seemingly nonprofitable symmetric lattice market. For unknown parameters requiring estimation, we show that the parameter space of the lattice model forms a convex polyhedron and present an efficient estimation method using a constrained least-squares approach. These theoretical findings are strengthened by extensive empirical studies using data from the top 30 companies within the S&amp;P 500 index, substantiating the effectiveness of the generalized model and the robustness of the proposed policies in sustaining the positive expected profit and providing downside risk protection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48314,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Dynamics & Control","volume":"174 ","pages":"Article 105083"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143687602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, I explore the implications of these incentives for resource allocation within and across firms and for policies that address informality. I build and estimate a structural model in which firms employ informal labor to evade payroll taxes (a static incentive) and to avoid the adjustment costs incurred when hiring or firing formal workers (a dynamic incentive). Formal firms do not report informal labor in official data. I overcome this obstacle with a novel strategy that exploits a 2015 shock to the enforcement of Albanian tax laws to extract information about firms' use of informal labor which I use to estimate the model. I reach three conclusions. First, I show that the gains in allocative efficiency that accrue to better enforcement of labor laws are far more modest after accounting for firms' dynamic incentives to use informal labor to adjust to shocks. Second, failing to account for informal labor results in an overstatement of formal labor adjustment costs by a factor of two. Intuitively, firms use informal labor to avoid the cost of varying output, and thus the reported data understates variation in their actual use of labor. Third, I show that reducing the costs of rigidities in formal labor markets is as effective as enhanced enforcement in reducing the aggregate informal share of employment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48314,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Dynamics & Control","volume":"174 ","pages":"Article 105082"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
