We explore the effects of parental leave entitlements for mothers and fathers on wages and unemployment. To do so we include two types of workers, males and females, who compete for the same jobs, in a labour search and matching model with parental leave. We show that increases in leave duration...

Considering a real-valued diffusion, a real-valued reward function and a positive discount rate, we provide an algorithm to solve the optimal stopping problem consisting in finding the optimal expected discounted reward and the optimal stopping time at which it is attained. Our ap- proach is based...

The combination of news and uncertainty makes the effects of news shocks nonlinear. We propose a simple procedure...

Using the staggered liberalization of access to foreign capital across highly disaggregated Indian industries, we show that reducing capital misallocation increases aggregate productivity. The natural policy experiment allows us to credibly identify changes in firms' input wedges, addressing major...
