    Abstract: The incidence of redistributive policies is central to whether they meet their stated goals. We study this in the context of one of the world's largest programs to improve social equity in schooling: a 25% quota in all Indian private schools for students from disadvantaged groups. We use lottery-based estimates to show that, although students admitted under the quota attend more expensive and preferred schools on average, the distribution of program benefits is very regressive. Program applicants are concentrated among more-educated and better-off households. Consequently, 7.4% of the program spending accrues to the bottom socioeconomic quintile, compared to 24.3% to the top quintile. We use rich survey data to show that low application rates for poorer children are not driven by preferences and beliefs. Instead, information constraints and application frictions appear to be key. Finally, we use a randomized intervention to confirm the importance of these frictions and further demonstrate that alleviating a single constraint (e.g., information) may not reduce regressive selection, even if it boosts application rates substantially. Our results demonstrate how constraints facing potential applicants can make redistributive policies regressive in practice. Appropriate policy interventions must consider the joint incidence of these constraints to reduce regressivity.

    Abstract: Many civic education interventions seek to inform citizens about government officials' actions and duties in the hopes that citizens will reward and sanction officials to incentivize better performance. But in contexts where mechanisms for sanctioning poorly-performing officials are weak, empowering citizens through traditional civic education may instead create antagonism that leads officials to retreat and citizens to disengage. Through a field experiment conducted in collaboration with civil society partners across 224 villages in the northern Philippines, we test whether training citizens alongside local elected officials is more effective than training citizens alone. Our findings indicate that joint training did not make officials more responsive to citizen engagement. Instead, eight months after the intervention, officials in the joint training condition were less likely to have included citizen leaders in decision-making forums, and no more or less likely to express policy priorities consistent with their preferences.

    Abstract: Using data on U.S. state tax policies from 1910 to 2022, we study to what extent political polarization permeates U.S. state tax policies. Our comprehensive analysis considers a variety of tax measures and definitions of "Democratic" vs. "Republican" states. We document a small increase in tax policy polarization in recent decades, particularly for personal and corporate income, as well as cigarette taxes, and among states with stable political regimes. However, we find that current levels of polarization are not unique relative to the past. Furthermore, the timing of polarization varies widely across tax policies, and is not consistent with measures of increasing political polarization from the literature.

    Abstract: Economic research has experienced a profound shift towards establishing causal relationships using an ever expanding suite of empirical methods. Despite this "credibility revolution," there is limited comprehensive analysis of how these methods and causal claims have evolved across economics subfields. This paper addresses this gap by analyzing over 44,000 NBER and CEPR working papers using a custom large language model to extract structured information on authorship, empirical methods, underlying data and associated causal claims. We use this data to document the empiricisation of economics research with a significant growth in the use of methods like Difference-in-Differences, Instrumental Variables, and Randomized Controlled Trials, alongside an increase in the number of causal claims that are made and evidenced. Yet, nearly 30% of causal claims remain unsupported by rigorous identification strategies. We also observe rising narrative complexity and increased use of private data, raising concerns about transparency, replicability and property rights attached to knowledge goods that are produced using private data. Our findings highlight the evolving landscape of empirical economics, emphasizing the need for continued focus on methodological rigor and data accessibility. This study contributes to a better understanding of research practices in economics and informs efforts to enhance the credibility and transparency of the discipline.

    1:00pm - 2:00pm, S2.79

    Abstract: Moodle, a widely used learning management system (LMS), offers powerful tools for designing collaborative activities that boost student engagement. Its features, including forums, wikis, blogs, databases, workshops, and group assignments, are designed with inclusivity in mind, ensuring accessibility for students with diverse needs. Collaborative tools like forums support asynchronous discussions, allowing students to contribute at their own pace. Wikis and blogs enable collective content creation, while workshops and PeerWork facilitate peer review and feedback. Group assignments foster teamwork and shared responsibilities. For students requiring additional support, Moodle provides alternative formats and closed captioning for video content. Additionally, external tools like Echo360 and H5P, integrated into Moodle, offer a range of accessible collaboration features, creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment.

    In my talk, I will explore the Moodle Learning Environment, highlighting its key features and tools for fostering collaboration. I will discuss how to create interactive and dynamic learning experiences that promote engagement and knowledge sharing in large classrooms. You will learn how to use discussion forums, wikis, group activities, and shared resources to design a variety of collaborative activities tailored to your teaching needs. Additionally, I will introduce a collaborative learning activity design framework to guide you in structuring activities effectively, covering aspects such as setting learning objectives, defining group roles, and promoting active participation. By the end of my talk, you will gain valuable insights into creating meaningful, engaging collaborative tasks that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.

    Nearly half of all known languages in the world are under threat of extinction or are already extinct. What are the determinants of language extinction? In this paper, we uncover a relationship between a society’s deep-rooted gender norms and its language’s risk of extinction: languages from more gender-equal societies face a higher likelihood of extinction compared to those from male-dominant societies. We measure language status and male-dominance using the Ethnologue and the Male Dominance Index (Guarnieri and Tur-Prats, 2023), respectively, for a sample of 4,763 languages in 172 countries. Our results show that the negative relationship between male dominance and language extinction holds even after accounting for fundamental determinants of economic development and societal collapse at the language-group level, such as geography, conflict exposure, climate variability, and historical factors, as well as after the inclusion of country fixed effects. We then investigate the impact of inter-group relationships in the context of colonialism by relating each indigenous group to its colonizer in a dyadic setting. We find that societies with more gender-equal norms than those of their colonizers are significantly more prone to language extinction. Cultural distance in gender norms from the colonizer is a stronger predictor of language extinction than the characteristics of either the colonizer or the indigenous group itself.

    Abstract: Millions of migrants in developing countries move to urban areas in search of better prospects, but access to public services varies widely within cities. Yet, we know little about spatial inequalities within cities in low- and middle-income countries. This paper investigates the spatial distribution of socio-economic status and public goods access within Brazilian cities, using high-resolution Census maps. I consider spatial metrics of "distance segregation", capturing the physical proximity between neighborhoods of different socio-economic status. I document descriptive patterns of segregation by income, race, and informality and disparities in access to public goods within cities. To make progress on the identification of the impacts of residential patterns on public goods provision, I develop an instrumental variables strategy that leverages within-city geography to predict where the poor and rich live. I find that cities with greater distance between rich and poor have fewer households connected to sewerage and water, worse neighborhood quality, and lower access to public amenities. Leveraging spatial variation in public goods provision within cities, I highlight competing mechanisms that shape the allocation of urban services, including externalities across neighborhoods, strategic underprovision to deter the poor, and preferences over public goods provision. These findings help inform the debate on policies such as slum clearance and relocations, social housing, and the spatial targeting of public goods.

    Abstract: We investigate the developmental consequences of slave-raiding in Eastern Europe, the largest source of slaves in the early modern world after West Africa. Drawing on a wide-ranging new dataset, we estimate that at least 5 million people were enslaved from 735 locations across the region between the 15th and 18th centuries. We hypothesize that, over time, slave raids encouraged an economically advantageous process of defensive state-building linked to raided societies' resistance to and lack of integration into the slave trade. Using difference-in-differences and instrumental variables strategies, we find that exposure to raids is positively associated with long-run urban growth and several related indicators of demographic and commercial development. Consistent with our posited mechanism, raided areas constructed more robust defenses and attained higher levels of administrative, military, and fiscal capacity. Our findings suggest that the structure of slave production conditions its developmental legacies, cautioning against drawing generalizations from the African context.

    Abstract: In the standard stochastic block model for networks, the probability of a connection between two nodes, often referred to as the edge probability, depends on the unobserved communities each of these nodes belongs to. We consider a flexible framework in which each edge probability, together with the probability of community assignment, are also impacted by observed covariates. We propose a computationally tractable two-step procedure to estimate the conditional edge probabilities as well as the community assignment probabilities. The first step relies on a spectral clustering algorithm applied to a localized adjacency matrix of the network. In the second step, k-nearest neighbor regression estimates are computed on the extracted communities. We study the statistical properties of these estimators by providing non-asymptotic bounds.

    Abstract This paper proposes novel natural language methods to measure worker rights from collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) for use in empirical economic analysis. Applying unsupervised text-as-data algorithms to a new collection of 30,000 CBAs from Canada in the period 1986-2015, we parse legal obligations (e.g. “the employer shall provide...”) and legal rights (e.g. “workers shall receive...”) from the contract text. We validate that contract clauses provide worker rights, which include both amenities and control over the work environment. Companies that provide more worker rights score highly on a survey indicating pro-worker management practices. Using time-varying province-level variation in labor income tax rates, we find that higher taxes increase the share of worker-rights clauses while reducing pre-tax wages in unionized firms, consistent with a substitution effect away from taxed compensation (wages) toward untaxed amenities (worker rights). Further, an exogenous increase in the value of outside options (from a Bartik instrument for labor demand) increases the share of worker rights clauses in CBAs. Combining the regression estimates, we infer that a one-standard deviation increase in worker rights is valued at about 5.7% of wages.

    Abstract: We analyze the influence of past family culture on contemporary preferences for public childcare among U.S. natives and current legislative activity in the House of Representatives. We proxy family culture using historical family principles - equal inheritance and cohabitation- that characterize family structures prior to modern welfare states (Todd, 1983), thus minimizing reverse causality issues. By employing the prevalent family principles in the ancestral countries of origin, we effectively isolate the influence of family culture from other institutional and economic factors. Results from the General Social Survey (GSS) indicate that individuals with ancestors from egalitarian countries are more prone to advocate for public spending in childcare, while those with forebears cohabiting in large family units tend to rely less on formal childcare. Similarly, U.S. representatives from districts with a widespread egalitarian culture among the population's ancestry, as estimated by census data, sponsor more child-related bills, whereas those from cohabitation-oriented districts sponsor less. These findings are specific to children's policies and remain consistent despite political selection. Furthermore, we manually collect extensive genealogical data to identify each politician's ancestral family background. Our findings demonstrate that family culture of congressional districts consistently influences their representatives' legislative engagement with children's policies even when controlling for the politician's own family culture. This provides conclusive evidence that representatives prioritize their constituents' preferences over their own.

    Abstract: This ongoing research explores a novel approach to Economics postgraduate dissertations by integrating teamwork and industry projects. It applies the equity share model to address free-rider issues within team environments, aiming to nurture collaboration. The interdisciplinary MSc program is designed to promote team-building, a sense of belonging, and an appreciation for diversity among students. Data for the study is drawn from students’ personal reflections, captured through emotional line graphs related to teamwork, assessment, and feedback. These insights are then analyzed alongside student performance, assessment schedules, and team composition to evaluate the experiences of the program’s first cohort. The case study also includes reflection summaries from the team responsible for supervising and delivering the dissertations.

    Abstract: The distributional consequence of integrating teachers' assessments with standardized exam scores for college admissions remains challenging to assess. I focus on a unique event in the UK, when the pandemic completely replaced standardized exams with teacher-based assessments of their students, to investigate the changes in the pattern of grade assignment across students and schools. I find the method change led to substantial inflation; students' expected grade increased uniformly across groups with similar performances in a past standardized exam. Non-facilitating subjects experienced higher grade inflation than facilitating subjects. Institutional differences across school types and share of well-performing students also account for differences in the extent of inflation. My findings indicate an inclusion of teachers' predictions to college admissions reward students unevenly.

    We argue that societies with higher fertility experience increased levels of emigration. During the Age of Mass Migration, persistently high fertility created a large reservoir of surplus labor that could find better opportunities in the New World. We denote such migrations, from labor-abundant to land-abundant regions, as Malthusian migrations. Our results hold in a variety of datasets and specifications, across countries, regions, individuals, and periods. Using linguistic distance from French and twin births as instruments for fertility in crowdsourced genealogical data, we estimate a large effect of fertility on out-migration. Within households, later born children were more likely to migrate as fertility increased, particularly in regions with egalitarian inheritance. We develop a Malthusian model allowing for emigration as a way to escape population pressures, alleviating the negative effects of high fertility and contributing to the emergence of modern economic growth.

    Abstract

    We study habitual brand loyalty, one of the earliest empirically-studied forms of switching costs and a classic source of structural state-dependence in consumer demand. Auxiliary instruments and economically-motivated restrictions can tighten nonparametric bounds on the extent of brand loyalty in choice panel data. We also prove that the canonical dynamic discrete-choice model, nested in our nonparametric framework, has “built-in” exclusion restrictions that semiparametrically identify the discount factor, in general, and point identify it for standard parameterizations of switching costs. Case studies of several large consumer goods categories show that brand loyalty accounts for at least 10.8% but no more than 72.2%of the observed choices across categories studied. In some categories, it accounts for over 90% of observed repeat-purchase behavior. Consumers are found to be forward-looking, but more impatient than would be implied by the real rate of interest.

    Abstract: What happens if selective colleges change their admission policies? We study this question by analyzing the world's first implementation of nationally centralized meritocratic admissions in the early twentieth century. We find a persistent meritocracy-equity tradeoff. Compared to the decentralized system, the centralized system admitted more high-achievers and produced more occupational elites (such as top income earners) decades later in the labor market. This gain came at a distributional cost, however. Meritocratic centralization also increased the number of urban-born elites relative to rural-born ones, undermining equal access to higher education and career advancement.

    Abstract: We consider long-lived agents who interact repeatedly in a social network. In each period, each agent learns about an unknown state by observing a private signal and her neighbors’ actions in the previous period before taking an action herself. Our main result shows that the learning rate of the slowest learning agent is bounded independently of the network size and structure and the agents’ strategies. This extends recent findings on equilibrium learning by demonstrating that the limitation stems from an inherent tradeoff between optimal action choices and information revelation, rather than strategic considerations. We complement this result by showing that a social planner can design strategies for which each agent learns faster than an isolated individual, provided the network is sufficiently large and strongly connected.

    Abstract: The incidence of redistributive policies is central to whether they meet their stated goals. We study this in the context of one of the world's largest programs to improve social equity in schooling: a 25% quota in all Indian private schools for students from disadvantaged groups. We use lottery-based estimates to show that, although students admitted under the quota attend more expensive and preferred schools on average, the distribution of program benefits is very regressive. Program applicants are concentrated among more-educated and better-off households. Consequently, 7.4% of the program spending accrues to the bottom socioeconomic quintile, compared to 24.3% to the top quintile. We use rich survey data to show that low application rates for poorer children are not driven by preferences and beliefs. Instead, information constraints and application frictions appear to be key. Finally, we use a randomized intervention to confirm the importance of these frictions and further demonstrate that alleviating a single constraint (e.g., information) may not reduce regressive selection, even if it boosts application rates substantially. Our results demonstrate how constraints facing potential applicants can make redistributive policies regressive in practice. Appropriate policy interventions must consider the joint incidence of these constraints to reduce regressivity.

    Abstract: What happens if selective colleges change their admission policies? We study this question by analyzing the world's first implementation of nationally centralized meritocratic admissions in the early twentieth century. We find a persistent meritocracy-equity tradeoff. Compared to the decentralized system, the centralized system admitted more high-achievers and produced more occupational elites (such as top income earners) decades later in the labor market. This gain came at a distributional cost, however. Meritocratic centralization also increased the number of urban-born elites relative to rural-born ones, undermining equal access to higher education and career advancement.

    Abstract: We consider long-lived agents who interact repeatedly in a social network. In each period, each agent learns about an unknown state by observing a private signal and her neighbors’ actions in the previous period before taking an action herself. Our main result shows that the learning rate of the slowest learning agent is bounded independently of the network size and structure and the agents’ strategies. This extends recent findings on equilibrium learning by demonstrating that the limitation stems from an inherent tradeoff between optimal action choices and information revelation, rather than strategic considerations. We complement this result by showing that a social planner can design strategies for which each agent learns faster than an isolated individual, provided the network is sufficiently large and strongly connected.
