We investigate the relationship between armed groups and large-scale mining firms in the Democratic Republic of Congo using geo-referenced data over 2000-2015. We start by showing that the pattern of links between armed bands and concession owners significantly departs from the random benchmark. To...

We use household-level data to analyze how the introduction of interest-only mortgages in Denmark affected consumption expenditure and borrowing. Using an ex-ante measure of exposure to the interest-only mortgage reform motivated by mortgage-payment and leverage constraints, we show that households...

Research into social cohesion has almost entirely ignored one of its core dimensions: the broad acquaintanceship networks that have long been assumed to hold societies together across categorical boundaries of, for instance, social class. Undoubtedly, this gap is due to the technical complexity of...

This talk presents a continuous-time game of strategic experimentation with two-armed bandits in which payoffs on the risky arm are generated by a compound Poisson process. The distribution of payoff increments depends on an unkown state of the world, whereas the arrival rate of such increments...

Lobbying expenditures have become a commonly used proxy for measuring lobbying activity in research examining the role of money in politics. However, analyses of the assumptions underlying these approaches have been scant. I use data from unique lobbying disclosure requirements in the U.S. state of...

Long-term care (LTC) expenditures of the elderly are high in developed countries and will grow further with population aging. In addition, LTC costs are heterogeneous across individuals and unknown early in life. In this paper, we add uncertainty over the arrival and magnitude of future LTC costs...
