Is there a role for the government in intervening by taxing trades in financial markets? If so, how does the intervention depend on the structure of the financial system? The structure of the financial system differs across countries: US and UK are market based, Japan and Continental Europe are...

This paper proposes and estimates a model of occupational choice with multi- dimensional skills, time-varying skill prices and labor market frictions to understand the evolution of the wage structure since 1979 for low skilled men. A worker’s multi- dimensional skills are exploited differently...

We study inference in an instrumental variables model with heterogeneous treatment effects and possibly many instruments and/or covariates. In this case two-step estimators such as the two-stage least squares (TSLS) or versions of the jackknife instrumental variables (JIV) estimator estimate a...

We model the interplay between a team’s performance and the talent pool of those willing to join it. The team’s performance improves if it attracts good recruits, but its fortunes decline if the talent pool is shallow. Better prospects for the team are needed to attract good recruits. This suggests...

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...

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...

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 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...
