Why do governments borrow both domestically and abroad? What determines the composition of domestic and external borrowing? How does that composition in turn affect the probability of a sovereign default? We address these and other related questions within an extension of the dynamic general...

Circular labor migration is a core feature of low-income labor markets. Yet, evidence on how this migration affects education investments in sending communities is limited due to lack of high quality data and challenging identification issues. This is especially true in Africa, where children can...

We develop a novel framework to analyze the structural implications of the marriage market for household consumption patterns. We start by defining a revealed preference characterization of efficient household consumption when the marriage is stable. In particular, stability means that the marriage...
