Cross-sectional age-skill profiles suggest that workers' cognitive skills start declining by their thirties if not earlier. If accurate, such age-driven skill losses pose a major t…
Long-Term Effects of Hiring Subsidies for Low-Educated Unemployed Youths
Andrea Albanese, Bart Cockx, Muriel Dejemeppe
We use regression discontinuity design and difference-in-differences methods to estimate the impact of a one-time hiring subsidy for low-educated unemployed youths in Belgium durin…
A General Revealed Preference Test for Quasilinear Preferences: Theory and Experiments
Mikhail Freer, Marco Castillo
We provide a generalized revealed preference test for quasilinear preferences. The test applies to nonlinear budget sets and non-convex preferences as those found in taxation and n…
Sissy That Walk: Transportation to Work by Sexual Orientation
Sonia Oreffice, Dario Sansone
We analyze differences in mode of transportation to work by sexual orientation, using the American Community Survey 2008-2019. Individuals in same-sex couples are significantly les…
Modeling the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of bounded rationality and economic constraints
Oliver Richters
The analogies between economics and classical mechanics can be extended from constrained optimization to constrained dynamics by formalizing economic (constraint) forces and econom…
Personality Traits and the Marriage Market
Arnaud Dupuy, Alfred Galichon
Which and how many attributes are relevant for the sorting of agents in a matching market? This paper addresses these questions by constructing indices of mutual attractiveness tha…
The Effects of Access to Credit on Productivity Among Microenterprises: Separating Technological Changes from Changes in Technical Efficiency
Nusrat Abedin Jimi, Plamen Nikolov, Mohammad Abdul Malek +1
Improving productivity among farm microenterprises is important, especially in low-income countries where market imperfections are pervasive and resources are scarce. Relaxing cred…
The Importance of Cognitive Domains and the Returns to Schooling in South Africa: Evidence from Two Labor Surveys
Plamen Nikolov, Nusrat Jimi
Numerous studies have considered the important role of cognition in estimating the returns to schooling. How cognitive abilities affect schooling may have important policy implicat…
Lockdown Strategies, Mobility Patterns and COVID-19
Nikos Askitas, Konstantinos Tatsiramos, Bertrand Verheyden
We develop a multiple-events model and exploit within and between country variation in the timing, type and level of intensity of various public policies to study their dynamic eff…
Covid19: unless one gets everyone to act, policies may be ineffective or even backfire
Alessio Muscillo, Paolo Pin, Tiziano Razzolini
The diffusion of COVID19 is calling governments and public health authorities to interventions that limit new infections and contain the expected number of critical cases and death…
Rationalizing Rational Expectations: Characterization and Tests
Xavier D'Haultfoeuille, Christophe Gaillac, Arnaud Maurel
In this paper, we build a new test of rational expectations based on the marginal distributions of realizations and subjective beliefs. This test is widely applicable, including in…
Sorting on the Used-Car Market After the Volkswagen Emission Scandal
Anthony Strittmatter, Michael Lechner
The disclosure of the VW emission manipulation scandal caused a quasi-experimental market shock to the observable environmental quality of VW diesel vehicles. To investigate the ma…
Science Quality and the Value of Inventions
Felix Poege, Dietmar Harhoff, Fabian Gaessler +1
Despite decades of research, the relationship between the quality of science and the value of inventions has remained unclear. We present the result of a large-scale matching exerc…
Spreading of an infectious disease between different locations
Alessio Muscillo, Paolo Pin, Tiziano Razzolini
The endogenous adaptation of agents, that may adjust their local contact network in response to the risk of being infected, can have the perverse effect of increasing the overall s…
Heterogeneous Employment Effects of Job Search Programmes: A Machine Learning Approach
Michael Knaus, Michael Lechner, Anthony Strittmatter
We systematically investigate the effect heterogeneity of job search programmes for unemployed workers. To investigate possibly heterogeneous employment effects, we combine non-exp…
