This paper builds a structural model that investigates how the expansion of central bank reserves, induced by quantitative easing (QE), impacts bank lending and deposit-taking activities under the Basel III regulatory framework. We combine detailed French credit registry data and eurozone- level...

We examine how the air quality benefits of low emission zones (LEZ) are distributed across ethnic and income groups in Germany. We combine gridded data on resident characteristics with high-resolution estimates of fine particle (PM2.5) concentrations. On average, we find that LEZs reduced traffic-...

We study team incentives with positive spillovers and rewards based on ex-post credit for collective success. Compared to ex-ante efficient credit allocation, higher-ability or lower-cost agents are over-credited in equilibrium and, thus, over-motivated for team success when the spillover rate is...

Nonsmooth and nonconvex fractional programs are ubiquitous and also highly challenging. It includes the composite optimization problems studied extensively lately, and encompasses many important modern optimization problems arising from diverse areas such as the recent proposed scale invariant...

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...
