Principal Discussant

چکیده
Renovascular hypertension has its experimental counterpart in the two-kidney, one clip model (Goldblatt hypertension). From the study of this model, a general pathophysiological scheme has evolved suggesting that temporal stages in the development and maintenance of hypertension are regulated by complicated hormonal and neural interrelations. The central roles played by the renin-angiotensin system and the renal nerves is discussed as they relate to other hormones. In addition, the possible contribution of converting enzyme inhibitors to understanding the pathophysiology of this condition is discussed. (Hypertension 1991;17:707-719)

متن کاملRelative Performance Evaluation and Limited Liability
We analyze the role of relative performance evaluation when a principal has several agents, who face correlated shocks. If limited liability constraints are binding, relative performance evaluation may be of no value if the principal is restricted to symmetric contracts. However, with asymmetric contracts, where agents are induced to choose different effort levels, relative performance measures...
متن کاملHarnessing the Wisdom of Crowds*
We empirically examine the impact of herding on the accuracy of consensus earnings forecasts from a crowd-based platform (Estimize.com). We monitor user information set by tracking user viewing activities and running experiments. We find that the more public information a user views, the less weight she puts on her private information. While this improves the accuracy of individual forecasts, i...
متن کاملLender Moral Hazard and Reputation in Originate-to-Distribute Markets∗
In a dynamic model of originate-to-distribute lending, we examine whether reputation concerns can incentivize a bank to monitor loans it has sold. Investors believe that banks with fewer recent loan defaults are more likely to monitor (“have higher reputation”). In equilibrium, banks monitor more and retain a smaller loan fraction when their reputations are high. Monitoring is harder to sustain...
متن کاملUnderstanding Term Premia on Real Bonds∗
This paper studies the dynamic behavior and determinants of risk premia on real bonds, using GDTSMs. We find that the real term structure itself contains a component that drives risk premia but is undetectable from cross section of bond yields. In addition, we present evidence on the link between real bond premia and macroeconomic variables. More specifically, we find that macro factors associa...
