Monitoring Limits in DAO Governance: Capacity Breakpoints and Endogenous Concentration
Guy Tchuente
Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are designed to disperse control, yet recent evidence shows that effective governance is often concentrated in a small number of parti…
Who Matters to Whom? Identifying Peer Effects with Propagation Geometry
Guy Tchuente
This paper develops a unifying theory of peer effects that treats the peer aggregator (the social norm mapping peers' actions into a scalar exposure) as the central behavioral prim…
Scale and Capacity Limits in Decentralized FDA Food-Safety Enforcement
Guy Tchuente
This paper asks whether regulatory monitoring exhibits nonlinear capacity limits as the scale and complexity of the regulated environment increase. Using a county--year panel of U.…
Distributional Instruments: Identification and Estimation with Quantile Least Squares
Rowan Cherodian, Guy Tchuente
We study instrumental-variable designs where policy reforms strongly shift the distribution of an endogenous variable but only weakly move its mean. We formalize this by introducin…
Too Big to Monitor? Network Scale and the Breakdown of Decentralized Monitoring
Guy Tchuente
Many public services are produced in networked systems where quality depends on local effort and on how higher-level authorities monitor providers. We develop a simple model in whi…
Monetary Incentives, Landowner Preferences: Estimating Cross-Elasticities in Farmland Conversion to Renewable Energy
Chad Fiechter, Binayak Kunwar, Guy Tchuente
This study examines the impact of monetary factors on the conversion of farmland to renewable energy generation, specifically solar and wind, in the context of expanding U.S. energ…
Moran's I 2-Stage Lasso: for Models with Spatial Correlation and Endogenous Variables
Sylvain Barde, Rowan Cherodian, Guy Tchuente
We propose a novel estimation procedure for models with endogenous variables in the presence of spatial correlation based on Eigenvector Spatial Filtering. The procedure, called Mo…
Religious Competition, Cultural Change, and Domestic Violence: Evidence from Colombia
Hector Galindo-Silva, Guy Tchuente
We study how religious competition-defined as the entry of a religious organization with innovative worship practices into a predominantly Catholic municipality-affects domestic vi…
Moran's I Lasso for models with spatially correlated data
Sylvain Barde, Rowan Cherodian, Guy Tchuente
This paper proposes a Lasso-based estimator which uses information embedded in the Moran statistic to develop a selection procedure called Moran's I Lasso (Mi-Lasso) to solve the E…
Armed Conflict and Early Human Capital Accumulation: Evidence from Cameroon's Anglophone Conflict
Hector Galindo-Silva, Guy Tchuente
This paper examines the impact of the Anglophone Conflict in Cameroon on human capital accumulation. Using high-quality individual-level data on test scores and information on conf…
Optimally Targeting Interventions in Networks during a Pandemic: Theory and Evidence from the Networks of Nursing Homes in the United States
Roland Pongou, Guy Tchuente, Jean-Baptiste Tondji
This study develops an economic model for a social planner who prioritizes health over short-term wealth accumulation during a pandemic. Agents are connected through a weighted und…
The Forest Behind the Tree: Heterogeneity in How US Governor's Party Affects Black Workers
Guy Tchuente, Johnson Kakeu, John Nana Francois
Income inequality is a distributional phenomenon. This paper examines the impact of U.S governor's party allegiance (Republican vs Democrat) on ethnic wage gap. A descriptive analy…
A Note on the Topology of the First Stage of 2SLS with Many Instruments
Guy Tchuente
The finite sample properties of estimators are usually understood or approximated using asymptotic theories. Two main asymptotic constructions have been used to characterize the pr…
Early Human Capital Accumulation and Decentralization
Guy Tchuente
Decentralization is a centerpiece in Cameroonian's government institutions' design. This chapter elaborates a simple hierarchy model for the analysis of the effects of power devolu…
Spatial Differencing for Sample Selection Models with Unobserved Heterogeneity
Alexander Klein, Guy Tchuente
This paper derives identification, estimation, and inference results using spatial differencing in sample selection models with unobserved heterogeneity. We show that under the ass…
Fighting for Not-So-Religious Souls: The Role of Religious Competition in Secular Conflicts
Hector Galindo-Silva, Guy Tchuente
Many countries embroiled in non-religious civil conflicts have experienced a dramatic increase in religious competition in recent years. This study examines whether increasing comp…
Weak Identification and Estimation of Social Interaction Models
Guy Tchuente
The identification of the network effect is based on either group size variation, the structure of the network or the relative position in the network. I provide easy-to-verify nec…
Fuzzy Difference-in-Discontinuities: Identification Theory and Application to the Affordable Care Act
Hector Galindo-Silva, Nibene Habib Some, Guy Tchuente
This paper explores the use of a fuzzy regression discontinuity design where multiple treatments are applied at the threshold. The identification results show that, under the very…
