We collect a sample of 23 million parents-children matched pairs across 76 developing countries and 13,000 sub-national regions to explore the geography of intergenerational educational mobility in developing countries. First, we document large within-country variation in the degree of...

This paper develops a robust inference method with finite-sample validity for general discrete choice models. The procedure’s appeal is its simplicity and versatility; it compares a novel likelihood-ratio statistic to a fixed critical value and can be used in models with set-valued predictions and...

Children are 'cultural magnets': from infancy they learn easily from others, and as they develop, they become skilled imitators who track and adopt the beliefs of their social group. In this talk, I will present some of my recent developmental work on children's flexible social learning as well as...

Revolving credit is at the core of the banking business. Corporate revolving credit lines are demandable claims; thus, similar to a traditional bank run on deposits, sudden widespread drawdowns on credit lines can be destabilizing to the banking sector. However, we show that, unlike deposits,...

We study the bounds of mediated communication in sender-receiver games in which the sender's payoff is state-independent. We show that the feasible distributions of beliefs under mediation are those that induce zero correlation, but not necessarily independence, between the sender's payoff and the...

This paper addresses the endogeneity of firms' entry and exit decisions in estimating demand for differentiated products. Under standard conditions, the selection propensity score is insufficient to control selection bias, leading to the inconsistency of conventional methods of handling selection....
