We study the protest behavior of teenagers linked to a student killed by a stray bullet coming from a policeman in Chile. We use administrative data to follow the schoolmates of the victim and those living nearby the shooting in hundreds of protest and non-protest days. We find that police violence...

Based on a data set that we collected from the top research institutions in economics around the globe (including universities, business schools and other or- ganizations such as central banks), we document the underrepresentation of women in economics. For the 238 universities and business schools...

We study a Mirrleesian economy with labor income, consumption, and retirement savings or bequests. We derive a novel representation of optimal non-linear income and savings distortions at the top that highlights the role of consumption inequality and consumption responses to tax changes. Our...

Many questions in political science require knowing not only what voters want (pref-erence orientation) but also how much they want it (preference intensity). In this paper, we assess two methods for measuring individual differences in preference intensity. One method — issue importance items —...

The adoption of barcode scanning technology in the 1970's gave rise to a new form of data; scanner data. Soon afterwards researchers began using this new resource, and since then a large number of papers have exploited scanner data. The data provide detailed price, quantity and product...

We study public goods games played on networks with possibly non-recip-rocal relationships between players. Examples for this type of interactions include one-sided relationships, mutual but unequal relationships, and par-asitism. It is well known that many simple learning processes converge to a...

Airline alliances have a long history yet there is no academic consensus on how they affect price levels and their impact on price dispersion has not yet been studied. We address this question using a novel methodology motivated by the service homogenization and increased price competition in this...

Cumulative cultural evolution (CCE)—defined as the process by which beneficial modifications are culturally transmitted and progressively accumulated over time—has long been argued to underlie the unparalleled diversity and complexity of human culture. In this paper, I argue that not just any kind...

Markovian intertwining relations between two Markov semigroups are related to the partial inclusion of the spectra of their generators, at least for finite ergodic processes. We check the limitations of this observation by investigating the Markov intertwining relations between the Ehrenfest, Yule...
