Do politicians manipulate the enforcement of conditional welfare programs to influence electoral outcomes? We study the Bolsa Familia Program (BFP) in Brazil, which provides a monthly stipend to poor families conditional on school attendance. Repeated failure to comply with this requirement results...

Learning by doing in home production is introduced into a stochastic directed search model. Workers' labor supply choices affect skill accumulation in both the home and market sectors. The optimal search behavior implies that average reemployment wages are only mildly sensitive to unemployment...

Knowledge of the relevant linkages between individuals is usually necessary for the estimation of social interaction models. We obtain results that allow for the estimation of parameters of interest in a model with endogenous, exogenous and correlated effects without information on the relevant...

We present a banking model in which bank debt circulates in secondary markets, facilitating trade. The key friction is that secondary market trade is decentralized, i.e. bank debt is traded over the counter like banknotes were in the nineteenth century and repos are today. We find that bank debt is...

We value climate amenities by estimating a discrete location choice model for US households. The utility of each metropolitan statistical area (MSA) depends on location-specific amenities, earnings opportunities, housing costs, and the cost of moving to the MSA from the household head’s birthplace...
