主题：The Costs and Benefits of Autocracy
摘要：We compare the long term performances of autocracy and democracy by focusing on one key difference between them: that is, in autocracy, incumbent leader selects the future leader, whereas in democracy, the future leader is chosen by citizens by majority rule. We derive a rich set of implications from this single difference. We show that the performances of all democracies (i.e., different economies with democratic institutions) tend to converge, whereas those of autocracies exhibit wide variety. Some autocracies dominate democracy, while some fare much worse, with others falling in between. However, even when it outperforms democracy, autocracy tends to be volatile, and is accompanied by a weak civil society. Moreover, bad autocracies may deliver similar short-term outstanding performance as good autocracies.

主题：Towards an Economic Theory of Consciousness
摘要：We apply the methodology of information economics in an intra-person multiple-self setting to model the relation between one’s economic wellbeing and state of consciousness, including amnesia and delusion, which may underpin some categories of mental (dis-)order. We posit the notion of semi-conscious choice in which the individual habituates into being “strategically” forgetful or delusional to enhance the motivation of one's future selves. We endogenize the individual’s habituated state of cognitive error proneness in equilibrium from his attitude towards intertemporal discounting, including present bias. In our result, delusion and amnesia are substitute mechanisms. The emergence of delusion results from a severe present bias. However, the chance of having amnesia does not depend monotonically on the magnitude of present bias. The results are also confirmed by our experiment. We further study the ex ante welfare of the individual in relation to his equilibrated state of consciousness and offer it as an economic measure of his mental wellbeing. We provide a normative result that it is better to be normal than forgetful or delusional. A higher frequency of social interaction improves the mental well being for both normal and disordered individuals, and a high frequency of stressful events is harmful for one's mental health.
