摘要：We construct series of posttax income for France over the 1900-2018 period and compare them with US series. We quantify the extent of redistribution -the reduction from pretax to posttax inequality -and estimate the contribution of redistribution in explaining differences in posttax inequality. We find that di f ferences in pretax inequality drive most of the differences in posttax inequality between France and the United States, and that changes over time in both countries are mostly due to c...

摘要：We study the effect of maternal dengue infections on birth outcomes using linked administrative records from Brazil estimating maternal fixed -effect specifications. In contrast to previous studies , we find robust evidence for the negative effect of dengue infections on birth weight ( BW ) . The effect is particularly pronounced at lower parts of the BW distribution , with an increase of 15 percent , 67 percent , and 133 percent for low , very low , and extremely low BW , respectively. We als...

摘要：The paper studies the effect of health on work among older workers by eliciting two- and four -year -ahead subjective probabilities of working under alternative health states. These measures predict work outcomes. Person -specific differences in working probabilities across health states can be interpreted as Subjective ex ante Treatment Effects ( SeaTEs ) in a potential outcomes framework and as taste for work within a discrete choice dynamic programming framework. There is substantial hetero...

摘要：We use linked parent-child administrative data for five countries in North America and Europe, as well as detailed survey data for two more, to investigate methodological challenges in the estimation of absolute income mobility. We show that the commonly used copula and marginals approximation methods perform well across countries in our sample, and the greatest challenges to their accuracy stem not from assumptions about relative mobility rates over time but from the use of nonrepresentative ...

摘要：This study measures the impact of rapidly placing single adults experiencing homelessness in housing programs on future homelessness, crime, and health. Using a caseworker placement tendencies design and a novel dataset constructed by linking administrative records from multiple public agencies in Los Angeles County, I estimate that rapidly placing individuals in housing programs significantly reduces the likelihood of future return to the homeless support system, crime, and reliance on emerge...

摘要：Combining rich data from the Norwegian media market with exogenous variation in the availability and adoption of broadband internet , this paper provides causal evidence on how the internet affected traditional print media. Broadband internet adoption triggered large reductions in print readership and circulation and equally large increases in online news readership. Despite strong substitution from print to online news consumption , newspaper revenues fell dramatically. Newspapers responded t...

摘要：Information frictions limit the adoption of new agricultural technologies in developing countries. Efforts to improve learning involve spreading information from government agents to farmers. We show that when compared to this government approach , informing private input suppliers in India about a new seed variety increases farmer -level adoption by over 50 percent. Suppliers become more proactive in informing potential customers and carrying the new variety. They induce increased adoption by...

摘要：By using hand-collected data on households'wealth assessments , we study multigenerational mobility in Florence during the late Middle Ages. We find that Florentine society was more mobile than one would expect but also that multigenerational mobility was lower than implied by two-generation estimates. We reconcile these findings by showing their consistency with a model where wealth transmission is governed by an unobserved latent factor. We also show that , given our estimates , this model i...

摘要：We study intergenerational mobility in India. We propose a new measure of upward mobility: the expected education rank of a child born to parents in the bottom half of the education distribution. This measure works well under data constraints common in developing countries and historical contexts. Intergenerational mobility in India has been constant and low since before liberalization. Among sons , we observe rising mobility for Scheduled Castes and declining mobility among Muslims. Daughters...

摘要：We study the labor market consequences of ethnic politics in African democracies. Using subnational georeferenced data from 15 countries from 1996 to 2017 , we compare individuals from ethnicities linked to parties at the margin of electing a representative in the national parliament. Having a local ethnic party politician in parliament increases the likelihood of being employed by 2 - 3 percentage points. The effect is concentrated in the agricultural sector and mostly driven by self-employme...
