This paper provides novel insights into the science of scaling by examining an educa-tional mentoring program in Mexico. The empirical analysis encompasses two independent field experiments, and seizes a unique opportunity to learn from the government’s implementation of the same intervention....

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a comprehensive framework for societal progress and planetary health. However, it remains unclear whether universal patterns exist in how nations pursue these goals and whether key development areas are being overlooked. Here, we apply the product...

We present a stylized microeconomic model to analyze solar panels and storage investment decisions of a representative consumer under either grid (credit regulation) or individual (price regulation) storage. We identify the conditions under which prosumers become storers. We show that solar...

Invariant coordinate selection (ICS) is a multivariate data transformation and a dimension reduction method that can be useful in many different contexts. It can be used for outlier detection or cluster identification, and can be seen as an independent component or a non-Gaussian component analysis...

In many domains, learning from others is crucial for leveraging cumulative cultural knowledge, which encapsulates the efforts of successive generations of innovators. However, anecdotal and experimental evidence suggests that reliance on social information can reduce the exploration of the problem...

We characterize investors’ moral preferences in a parsimonious experimental setting, where we auction stocks with various ethical features. We find strong evidence that investors seek to align their investments with their social values (“value alignment”), and find no evidence of behavior driven by...

At the turn of the millennium, developing countries face a twofold challenge. First, for reasons related to both intra- and inter-generational justice, these countries need to follow sustainable development pathways. Second, they need to understand the deep principles underpinning informality,...

A popular approach to perform inference on a target parameter in the presence of nuisance parameters is to construct estimating equations that are orthogonal to the nuisance parameters, in the sense that their expected first derivative is zero. Such first-order orthogonalization may, however, not...

Electricity is consumed continuously night and day and is not storable at large scale. Consequently, in an electricity industry organized and managed efficiently, demand should be tightly responsive to time-varying prices. We explore the consequences of the limited ability of electricity consumers...
