Resumen: Many events and policies (treatments), such as opening of businesses, building of hospitals, and sources of pollution, occur at specific spatial locations, with researchers interested in their effects on nearby individuals or businesses (outcome units). However, the existing treatment...

Abstract: We estimate the distributional effects of the unprecedented rise in European energy prices over 2021-2023. Using bank account data for a sample of UK households we show that there were significant energy consumption falls, consistent with an average price elasticity of -0.28, with...

Resumen: Concerns about ownership consolidation and sectoral reallocation resulting from the privatization and trade of water are predominant barriers that inhibit the adoption of water markets. However, systematic empirical evaluation of these processes is lacking.  We study trends in...

Resumen: The increase in human longevity is a major achievement, which brings individual well-being and strong contributions to society, but population ageing also generates challenges. This paper documents demographic trends in OECD countries, highlighting that ageing today largely reflects past...

Resumen: This paper investigates whether the trade effects of environmental non-tariff measures (NTMs) differ across industries, with a focus on agriculture. We hypothesize that sectoral heterogeneity matters, as agriculture’s distinctive policy framework and trade structure may lead to unique...

Resumen: In the benchmark public finance model, a social planner allocates transfers to maximize a social welfare function, balancing equity and efficiency. This trade-off is central to college financial aid, where eligibility increasingly depends on both SES and academic ability....

Resumen: This paper investigates the role of behavioral frictions and information provision on retirement planning using Dual Advisory, an information provision program in Colombia. The program, which offers personalized information on switching pension plans, was gradually made mandatory to...

Resumen: Do governments systematically intervene in agricultural markets in response to climate shocks? If so, what are the aggregate and distributional consequences? We construct a global dataset of agricultural policies and extreme heat exposure by country and crop since 1980. We find that...

Abstract: We study the role of physicians in driving geographic variation of US healthcare utilization. We estimate a model that separates variation in average utilization of Medicare beneficiaries due to physicians, non-physician supply side factors, and patient demand. The model is identified by...

Abstract: We estimate the labor market power of over 13,000 manufacturing establishments across 82 low and middle-income countries around the world. Within local labor markets, larger and more productive firms have higher wage markdowns and pay lower wages. Labor market power across countries...

Critics warn that such policies may divert resources to less efficient firms and provoke retaliatory measures from other countries, leading...

Resumen: I study the effects of improvements in transportation infrastructure on informality. To deal with endogeneity issues, I implement two complementary identification strategies. First, taking advantage of the staggered rollout of highways, I apply a generalized difference-in-difference...

Resumen:  This paper studies the effects of partial automation (i.e., the creation of technology capable of automating some but not all components of a job). We consider a model where jobs entail a bundle of tasks, workers may trade the output of the requisite tasks at a cost, and workers in a...

Abstract: This paper examines the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on labor markets in both Advanced economies (AEs) and Emerging Markets (EMs). We propose an extension to a standard measure of AI exposure, accounting for AI’s potential as either a complement or a substitute for labor, where...

Abstract: Do land market frictions cause misallocation in agriculture? In a field experiment in Western Kenya, we randomly subsidize owners to rent out land. Transferring cultivation rights to renters increases output and value added on the plots, consistent with imperfect land markets and...

Resumen: Recent macroeconomic shocks have driven a sharp rise in firm-level outcome dispersion. We argue that this heterogeneity arises from differences in firms’ exposure to macro shocks, shaped by their business characteristics. To measure this, we construct shock-specific exposures at the firm...
