We exploit an unexpected increase in the Colombian insurance threshold to investigate how depositors respond to higher deposit insurance. A monthly depositor-level panel shows that both the level and growth of deposits rise with higher coverage. This increment is driven by individuals who were...

We examine the relationship between time delay and generosity in a laboratory experiment using modified dictator games. In a between-subject design, we vary the time of payout for the dictator, the receiver or both. In a within-subject design, we vary the endowment of the dictator as well as the...

In social and economic surveys, it can be difficult to directly reach units of the target population, and indirect sampling is often advocated to solve this issue. In indirect sampling, the sample is drawn from a frame population that is linked to the target population, and estimation of target...

We study how Americans respond to idiosyncratic and exogenous changes in household wealth and unearned income. Our analyses combine administrative data on U.S. lottery winners with an event-study design that exploits variation in the timing of lottery wins. Our first contribution is to estimate the...

We propose a model that classies platforms in the so-called "creator economy", such as Youtube, Patreon, TikTok, and Twitch, into three broad business models: pure discovery mode (provides recommendations to help viewers to discover creators); pure membership mode (enables individual creators to...

Information spillovers between firms can reduce the incentive to invest in R&D if property rights do not prevent firms from free riding on competitors' innovations. Conversely, strong property rights over innovations can impede cumulative research and lead to ineffcient duplication of effort....

Across the developing world, the deforestation of primary, native forests supports economic activity at the cost of environmental degradation with global, long-term consequences. Events like record-setting wildfires in the Amazon highlight the potential for deforestation to drive ecosystems past...

This paper provides general and empirically implementable sufficient statistics formulas for optimal nonlinear tax systems in the presence of preference heterogeneity. We study unrestricted tax systems on income and savings (or other commodities) that implement the optimal direct-revelation...

Reform processes commonly involve professional bureaucrats drafting policies to be adopted by political decision makers. Con icts of interest between these two groups may give rise to pandering in policymaking. We expand the standard pandering setup in two directions. First, we allow for policies...
