  摘要：This paper studies the impact of the First Great Migration on children. We use the complete -count 1940 census to estimate selection -corrected place effects on education for children of Black migrants. On average , Black children gained 0.8 years of schooling ( 12 percent ) by moving from the South to the North. Many counties that had the strongest positive impacts on children during the 1940s offer relatively poor opportunities for Black youth today. Opportunities for Black children were gre...

  摘要：We study the demand and supply implications of occupational licensing using transaction -level data from a large online platform for home improvement services. We find that demand is more responsive to a professional's reviews than to the professional's platform -verified licensing status. We show some evidence that consumers view licenses and reviews as substitutes. We confirm the generality of our findings off the platform in an independent consumer survey. Combining state -level licensing r...

  摘要：We show that history stored in collective memories and activated by political campaigns can create xenophobia and radicalization. Turkish troops besieged Vienna in 1529 and 1683 and pillaged individual Austrian villages , killing and kidnapping in the process. Attacked places remember those events well but never expressed aversion to Muslims until far-right populists started to campaign against Turks and Muslims in the mid - 2000s. We find anti-Muslim sentiments and far-right voting surge in p...

  摘要：Leveraging unique administrative data and a sharp increase in benefit generosity in a difference-in-differences research design, we estimate the impact of workers' compensation wage replacement benefits on individual behavior and program costs. We find that and increased medical spending. Responses along these two margins are equally important drivers of increased program costs, collectively increasing program costs 1.4 times the mechanical increase in costs. Using these estimates and an estim...

  摘要：We study the role of professional networks in facilitating emigration of Jewish academics dismissed from their positions by the Nazi government. We use individual -level exogenous variation in the timing of dismissals to estimate causal effects. Academics with more ties to early emigres ( emigrated 1933-1934 ) were more likely to emigrate. Early emigres functioned as bridging nodes that facilitated emigration to their own destination. We also provide evidence of decay in social ties over time ...
• Fighting for Tyranny: State Repression and Combat Motivation AI翻译

  摘要：We utilize over 100 million declassified Red Army personnel records from World War II to study how state repression shapes soldiers' motivation to exert effort in fighting. Exploiting multiple complementary identification strategies , we find that soldiers from places with higher levels of prewar repression under Stalin's rule were more likely to fight until death and less likely to shirk their duties , but they also received fewer decorations for personal bravery. The coercive incentives crea...
