While electoral system reform is often advocated to improve the functioning of democracy, well-known empirical challenges make it difficult for social scientists to credibly asses the effects of electoral institutions. Leveraging an arguably exogenous component of two major electoral reforms, we...

Measuring the gains from trade and their distribution is challenging. Recent empirical contributions have addressed this challenge by drawing on rich and newly available sources of microdata to measure changes in household nominal incomes and price indices. While such data have become available for...

We study optimal transport networks in spatial equilibrium. We develop a framework consisting of a neoclassical trade model with labor mobility in which locations are arranged on a graph. Goods must be shipped through linked locations, and transport costs depend on congestion and on the...

We develop an equilibrium theory of attention and politics. In a spatialmodel of electoral competition where candidates have varying policy prefer-ences, we examine what kinds of political behaviors capture voter’s limitedattention and how this concern in turn affects political outcomes....

This paper empirically investigates how political connections affect market structure and quantifies the welfare cost of political influence. We focus on a specific industry, grocery retail in Italy, where the largest firm is a network of consumer cooperatives that has historical links to political...
