We exploit institutional changes in the enforcement of water quality regulations in California to identify and estimate a model of adverse selection where the regulator considers private benefits and external costs from violations, as well as enforcement costs. Using the estimated model, we find...

We present a model of the market for advice, where advisers have conflicts of interest and compete for heterogeneous customers through information provision. The competitive equilibrium features information dispersion: advisers with expertise in more information-sensitive assets attract less...

This article looks for accent discrimination. I do a correspondence study in the restaurant service markets in the Marseille region, France, by sending fictitious job applications to real job offers. Fictitious job candidates differ by the accent, the name and the address. Employers hear applicants...

This paper analyzes a bargaining game that is new to the literature, but that is inspired by real-world international negotiations. With so-called pledge-and-review bargaining, as stipulated in the Paris climate agreement, each party submits an intended nationally determined contribution (INDC),...

Fluctuations in the volume and the value of financial remittances received from abroad affect the livelihood of households in developing economies across the world. Yet, political scientists have little to say about how declines in remittances, as opposed to the receipt of remittance payments alone...

In French parliamentary and local elections, candidates ranked first and second in the first round automatically qualify for the second round, while a third candidate qualifies only when selected by more than 12.5 percent of registered citizens. Using a fuzzy RDD around this threshold, we find that...

Economists, biologists, and social scientists have studied several kinds of participation games where each player choses whether or not to participate in a given activity and payoffs depend on the own decision and the number of players who participate. The symmetric mixed strategy equilibria of...

Irrigation is a key feature of modern agricultural technology. By securing water provision and reducing the exposure to weather risks, irrigation enhances crop yields. While its benefits are widely acknowledged, the observed share of irrigated land varies substantially across countries. Are these...

We propose a bootstrap-based calibrated projection procedure to build confidence intervals for single components and for smooth functions of a partially identified parameter vector in moment (in)equality models. The method controls asymptotic coverage uniformly over a large class of data generating...
