• Public housing, housing vouchers, and student achievement: Evidence from public housing demolitions in Chicago AI翻译
  作者：Jacob, BA

  摘要：This paper utilizes a plausibly exogenous source of variation in housing assistance generated by public housing demolitions in Chicago to examine the impact of high-rise public housing on student outcomes. I find that children in households affected by the demolitions do no better or worse than their peers on a wide variety of achievement measures. Because the majority of households that leave high-rise public housing in response to the demolitions move to neighborhoods and schools that closel...
• Does foreign direct investment increase the productivity of domestic firms? In search of spillovers through backward linkages AI翻译

  摘要：Many countries strive to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) hoping that knowledge brought by multinationals will spill over to domestic industries and increase their productivity. In contrast with earlier literature that failed to find positive intraindustry spillovers from FDI, this study focuses on effects operating across industries. The analysis, based on firm-level data from Lithuania, produces evidence consistent with positive productivity spillovers from FDI taking place through co...

• Distinguishing informational cascades from herd behavior in the laboratory AI翻译

  摘要：This paper reports an experimental test of how individuals learn from the behavior of others. By using techniques only available in the laboratory, we elicit subjects' beliefs. This allows us to distinguish informational cascades from herd behavior. By adding a setup with continuous signal and discrete action, we enrich the ball-and-urn observational learning experiments paradigm of Lisa R. Anderson and Charles Holt (1997). We attempt to understand subjects' behavior by estimating a model that...

• When does learning in games generate convergence to nash equilibria? The role of supermodularity in an experimental setting AI翻译
  作者：Chen, Y; Gazzale, R
  作者单位：University of Michigan System; University of Michigan; Williams College
  摘要：This study clarifies the conditions under which learning in games produces convergence to Nash equilibria in practice. We experimentally investigate the role of supermodularity, which is closely related to the more familiar concept of strategic complementarities, in achieving convergence through learning. Using a game from the literature on solutions to externalities, we find that supermodular and near-supermodular games converge significantly better than those far below the threshold of super...
