This paper studies aggregate implications of the geography of financial frictions in Europe. Using proprietary data from the European Central Bank's Survey on the Access to Finance of Enterprises (SAFE), we document three new facts. First, there is substantial cross-country heterogeneity in the...

All states adopt systems to surveil political activists. How do they decide whom to watch and why? We study the logic of state surveillance using the first complete individual-level database of those monitored by a state -- 152,000 Italians born between 1816 and 1932, encompassing both democratic...

We model college admissions with incomplete information and interdependent values. Colleges face a winner's curse in selecting applicants. We establish conditions under which a unique equilibrium in threshold strategies exists. We study three applications of this framework. First, we evaluate how...

We study the interest-rate sensitivity of household wealth in a realistic life-cycle model. The model predicts that middle-aged and wealthier households should hold more long-term assets, as observed in the US data. Consequently, optimal portfolio rules imply that falling interest rates increase...

This study examines the effects of tariffs imposed by the U.S. on imported solar panels. We first provide clear evidence that tariff-exposed firms shifted production to locations that did not face tariffs, and that domestic prices increased relative to other markets. We then develop a structural...

Child fostering is widespread in much of the world, yet the evolutionary mechanisms shaping fostering decisions remain poorly understood. One possibility is that fostering can be strategically leveraged to improve mothers’ reproductive prospects after union dissolution by facilitating repartnering...

End-of-life care represents a major fiscal and social challenge facing aging economies across the globe. We study how expanding hospice services affects public spending and patient well-being near the end of life. Using 1,518 hospice facility openings across U.S. counties between 1999 and 2019, we...

Public speeches by leaders can serve as a cost-effective tool for fostering peace, yet their effectiveness remains uncertain, particularly in divided societies experiencing violent conflict. This paper examines the impact of the Catholic Pope’s peace-promoting speeches on conflict dynamics in...

We study panel data regression models when the shocks of interest are aggregate and possibly small relative to idiosyncratic noise. This speaks to a large empirical literature that targets impulse responses via panel local projections. We show how to interpret the estimated coefficients when units...
