We study how news coverage of immigrants’ criminality impacted municipality-level votes in the 2009 referendum on "Minaret Ban" in Switzerland. The campaign, successfully led by the populist party SVP, played aggressively on the fears of Muslim immigration and linked Islam with terrorism and...

Integrative theories to explain the distribution of human overweight and obesity are lacking. The evolutionary perspective has correctly emphasised the role of Western energy-dense diets, but fails to explain why some social groups and some countries are more strongly affected than others. The...

The paper tests whether the “quality”-focused non-tariff measures, such as technical barriers to trade (TBT) measure or sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures, are trade-distorting and quality-improving. We first develop a firm-based trade model with information asymmetry on product quality. We...

We propose a new nonparametric approach to estimate the production function for housing. Our estimation treats output as a latent variable and relies on the firstorder condition for profit maximisation with respect to nonland inputs by competitive house builders. For parcels of a given size, we...
