We construct a dynamic theory of civil conflict hinging on inter-ethnic trust and trade. The model economy is inhabitated by two ethnic groups. Inter-ethnic trade requires imperfectly observed bilateral investments and one group has to form beliefs on the average propensity to trade of the other...

In the basic New Keynesian model in which the monetary authority operates a Taylor rule, multiple rational expectations equilibria arise, some of which display all the features of a liquidity trap. We show that a loss in confidence can set the economy on a deflationary path that eventually prevents...

This paper uses a rich dataset on Brazilian municipalities to study the ef- fect of women’s leadership on policy outcomes in close races. We provide evidence that female mayors provide better health outcomes (prenatal visits and percentage of premature births), attract more federal discre- tionary...
