A large literature shows that media reporting about out-group crime shapes political attitudes and voting, yet overlooks a crucial upstream actor: the police, who supply the information that newsrooms rely on. We argue that the police act as strategic bureaucrats who increase disclosure of out-...

Following the seminal paper by Altonji and Segal (1996), empirical studies have widely embraced equal or diagonal weighting in minimum distance estimation to mitigate the finite-sample bias caused by sampling errors in the weighting matrix. This paper introduces a new weighting scheme that combines...

In developing countries, rural households risk losing land if they stop cultivating it. This implicit barrier is made explicit through China’s hukou system...
