Factory farms account for an ever-growing share of animal agriculture worldwide, marked by intensive production practices and heavy geographic concentration. These operations generate large quantities of waste and have long raised serious concerns for environmental quality and public health,...

We estimate the causal impact of hiring difficulties on firms’ outcomes. Using a shift share identification strategy, we show that hiring difficulties have negative effects on firms’ employment, capital, sales, and profits. Quantitatively, a one-standarddeviation change in firm exposure to hiring...

This talk focuses on the vanishing discount problem for first-order Hamilton–Jacobi (HJ) equations: as the discount parameter tends to zero, do discounted solutions converge and—when they do—which critical solution is selected? The question is closely linked to the ergodic approximation introduced...

We argue that simple delegation rules are optimal in the presence of uncertainty in how agents manipulate delegation rules for their own private interest by considering a max-min delegation design problem, in which the principal has limited information about the agent’s preferences. In particular,...

We introduce a "forensic" approach to detect informal employment arising from migration shocks and assess its effects on firms. Exploiting large, exogenous inflows from the Arab Spring to southern Italian coasts, we use vineyard micro data to identify anomalies in labor productivity (quantity per...
