This paper explores how state and religious providers of education compete during the nation building process. Using novel administrative data, we characterize the evolution of Indonesia’s Islamic education system and religious school choice after the introduction of mass public primary schooling...

Standard methods for estimating production functions in the Olley and Pakes (1996) tradition require assumptions on input choices. We introduce a new method that exploits (increasingly available) data on a firm’s expectations of its future output and inputs that allows us to obtain consistent...

We assess risks related to funds pursuing Liability-Driven Investment strategies by merging entity and activity-level regulatory datasets. The analysis points to high concentration risks stemming from large holdings of UK sovereign bonds and a high degree of portfolio overlap among funds. We also...

Endogenous uncertainty acts as an aggregate-demand amplification mechanism of supply shocks. Using U.S. data, we first stress that taking into account time-varying macroeconomic uncertainty leads to a significantly stronger recession and less inflationary pressures, in response to a TFP shock. In...

Multivariate linear regression and randomization-based inference are two essential methods in statistics and econometrics. Nevertheless, the problem of producing a randomized test for the value of a single regression coefficient that is exactly valid when errors are exchangeable, and which is...

The boom in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing has created a demand for ESG ratings. ESG ratings, unlike credit ratings, measure multiple unrelated categories. We provide a model of ESG ratings competition where raters provide information about these categories and set fees....

Adaptation costs are one of the main missing elements from the existing literature on the effects of climate change. Policy to address climate change depends on how costly it is for people to adapt, but a lack of cost-related data means that such estimates are rare. In this paper, we use uniquely...

The study of geometric extremes, where extremal dependence properties are inferred from the deterministic limiting shapes of scaled sample clouds, provides an exciting approach to modelling the extremes of multivariate data. These shapes, termed limit sets, link several popular extremal dependence...

This study revisits a critical juncture in the development of national health insurance (NHI) in the United States in the post-World War II era. We investigate the role of the American Medi- cal Association (AMA) which financed a campaign against NHI that was directed by the coun- try’s first...
