We use 130 years of data on historical migrations to the United States to show a causal effect of the ancestry composition of US counties on foreign direct investment (FDI) sent and received by local rms. To isolate the causal effect of ancestry on FDI, we build a simple reduced-form model of...

In this paper we discuss the estimation of a nonparametric component f1 of a nonparametric additive model Y = f1(X1) + ... + fq(Xq) + ". We allow the number q of additive components to grow to infinity and we make sparsity assumptions about the number of nonzero additive components. We compare this...

In this paper we unify existing theories and empirical evidence on the origins of obesity and examine the effects of fiscal policy on the dynamic evolution of weight. We build a dynamic general equilibrium growth model, with two sectors, one producing food and the other producing a composite...

We develop methods of empirical welfare analysis in multinomial choice settings, under completely general consumer heterogeneity and income effects. Our results pertain to three practically important scenarios, viz., (i) simultaneous price-change of multiple alternatives, (ii) introduction/...

We develop a novel theory of real estate foreclosure auctions, which have the special feature that the lender acts as a seller for low and as a buyer for high prices. The theory yields several empirically testable predictions concerning the strategic behavior of the agents when the seller has an...

We use new data on security-level portfolio holdings of institutional investors and households in the euro area to understand the impact of the ongoing asset purchase programme of the European Central Bank (ECB) on the dynamics of risk exposures and on asset prices. We develop a tractable...

We estimate the causal impact of air pollution on the incidence and duration of sickness leaves taken by a representative sample of employees affiliated to the social security system in Spain. Identification derives from day-to-day variation in air pollution concentrations to which the individuals...
