摘要：I exploit unusual policy variation in Indonesia to examine how local responses to intergovernmental grants depend on their persistence. A national reform generated permanent increases in the general grant that were larger for less densely populated districts, while hydrocarbon-rich districts experienced transitory shocks to shared resource revenue. Public service delivery strongly responded to the permanent shock, but not to the transitory shocks, consistent with districts providing lumpy publ...

摘要：Many field public goods are provided by a small number of contributors: the 'superstars' of their respective communities. This paper focuses on Wikipedia, one of the largest online volunteering platforms. Over nine consecutive years, we study the relationship between social preferences-reciprocity, altruism and social image-and field cooperation. Wikipedia editors are quite prosocial on average, and superstars even more so. But while reciprocal and social image preferences strongly relate to c...

摘要：The qualitative analysis of open-ended interviews has vast potential in economics but has found limited use. This is partly because the interpretative, nuanced human reading of text and coding that it requires is labour-intensive and very time-consuming. This paper presents a method to simplify and shorten the coding process by extending a small sample of interpretative human-annotated interviews to a larger, representative sample using supervised natural language processing. We extensively as...

摘要：The emergence of markets for on-demand online physician consultations-direct-to-consumer telemedicine-is currently transforming many healthcare settings. Direct-to-consumer telemedicine may be a cost-effective substitute for in-person consultations, but the convenience of seeking direct-to-consumer telemedicine may increase the demand for the service and, consequently, costs for health insurers. To causally assess the degree to which direct-to-consumer telemedicine consultations substitute for...

摘要：We exploit an exceptionally long administrative panel dataset (1988-2019) for France to estimate the unconditional quantile effects of public sector employment, while accounting for individual fixed effects. We find that the public sector wage gap is broadly negative across the whole wage distribution after controlling for observable and unobservable heterogeneities. The public sector compresses the wage distribution, with particularly large wage penalties observed at the top. This compression...

摘要：Arranged marriage with a spouse chosen in the country of origin is a persisting practice in many migrant communities. In this context, rather than being imposed by migrant parents on children, an arranged marriage is the outcome of a negotiation between them. Parents see this type of marriage as a vector of transmission of their identity to the next generation. Children resist because they are concerned about mutual compatibility with their future spouse. Then, paradoxically, the possibility o...

摘要：We investigate whether AI systems outperform humans in creative tasks that vary in their degree of 'openness'. To this end, we generated creative responses using three versions of ChatGPT and recruited 738 participants to blindly evaluate six creative answers, randomly drawn from three pools-each comprising 160 responses-generated by both humans and AI. This process yielded 4,428 individual evaluations. Our results show that, regardless of the GPT version employed, human-generated responses ac...

摘要：We analyse one prominent policy solution to the credibility crisis in experimental research-research registries-with primary focus on the AEA RCT Registry. We find that the AEA RCT Registry has had a limited impact to date. A majority of recent economics experiments are not registered, only about half of those registered did so prior to intervention and most of these preregistrations lack sufficient detail. We find broad similarities when comparing these patterns to ClinicalTrials.gov. We then...
