Between 1954 and 1998, the tobacco industry funded more than 1,900 research projects at a total cost of $355 million, on topics such as the roles of heredity and nutrition in cancer. Even though legitimate, this research was intended to divert attention from the harmful effects of tobacco. We...

During World War I, annual government spending in France reached unprecedented levels, accounting for 50 percent of prewar GDP. A significant portion of this spending was allocated to support war industries at a time when the country's industrial cradle in the northeast was unavailable for...

The global overlap between poverty and climate damages raises the question of whether poverty amplifies vulnerability to weather shocks. Combining high-resolution satellite measures of droughts and floods with household panel data from Bangladesh, we study settings where some households are lifted...

The present research develops a formal mathematical model to measure individual motivation at work. Its mathematical specifications correspond to a formal translation of Conservation of Resources (COR) theory core assumptions. It explores how such COR constructs as resource caravan and resource...

We study linear regression models with clustered data, high-dimensional controls, and a complicated structure of exclusion restrictions. We propose a correctly centered internal IV estimator that accommodates a variety of exclusion restrictions and permits within-cluster dependence. The estimator...

Should Big Tech firms be banned from acquiring other firms? We address this question by developing a growth model with platform-based consumption. The platform supplies some products in the economy, and startups supply the rest, with the platform intermediating consumption of all goods in the...

What guides ownership intuitions, thoughts of the form “this thing x belongs to person A” ? Psychologists generally assume that human minds possess an implicit ownership theory, from which ownership intuitions are derived. But this mental theory is mostly an ad hoc stipulation. A more plausible,...

We study dynamic information provision to a present-biased decision maker (DM) who faces an experimentation problem. In our model, rewards arrive independently of the hidden state, so that under full information, beliefs remain constant prior to conclusive news arrival. Our main finding is that...
