We study empirically how past exposure to conflict in origin countries makes migrants more violent prone in their host country, focusing on asylum seekers in Switzerland. We exploit a novel and unique dataset on all crimes reported in Switzerland by nationalities of perpetrators and victims over...

Patterns of crime and punishment in the USA greatly magnify corresponding developments in other liberal market economies – Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK – faced with similar broad macro-technological transformations, namely the collapse of Fordism in the 1970s and 1980s and the...

More than one billion people worldwide live in rural areas without access to the paved road network. We measure the impacts of India's national rural road construction program using regression discontinuity and data covering every individual and firm in rural India. The main effect of new feeder...

In view of solving convex optimization problems with noisy gradient input, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of gradient-like flows under stochastic disturbances. Specifically, we focus on the widely studied class of Mirror Descent schemes for convex programs with compact feasible regions, and we...

Knowledge spillovers is regarded as one of the main advantages of the open source community. However, the factors that affects the effectiveness and efficiency remain unexplored. By studying a large dataset covering 13,000,000 open source projects from Github, I document evidence supporting both...

We propose a non-sequential search model with a continuum of consumers and a finite number of firms. Both consumers and firms are heterogeneous. Consumers differ in search costs. Firms have private marginal costs of production. We show that an equilibrium price dispersion can arise in this model as...

A decision-maker needs to reach a decision and is forced to rely on an expert whose interests are imperfectly correlated with her own. The decision-maker may delegate authority of decision-making to the expert or may retain authority and have the expert report back to her. The expert chooses how...
