    Title: Testing Exclusion and Shape Restrictions in Potential Outcomes Models (with Hiroaki Kaido)
    Abstract: Exclusion and shape restrictions play a central role in defining causal effects and interpreting estimates in potential outcomes models. To date, the testable implications of such restrictions have been studied on a case-by-case basis in a limited set of models. In this paper, we develop a general framework for characterizing sharp testable implications of general support restrictions on the potential response functions, based on a novel graph-based representation of the model. The framework provides a unified and constructive method for deriving all observable implications of the modeling assumptions. We illustrate the approach in several popular settings, including instrumental variables, treatment selection, mediation, and interference. As an empirical application, we revisit the US Lung Health Study and test for the presence of spillovers between spouses, specification of exposure maps, and persistence of treatment effects over time.

    Title. The Power of Words: Economic Conditions, Political Discourse, and Support for Populism.

    Abstract. We study the relationship between economic conditions, political discourse, and electoral support for populist parties. Our analysis focuses on the rise of the Spanish far-right party Vox, which gained significant support during a period of economic recovery. Combining administrative labor market records, congressional speeches, social media data, and nationally representative opinion surveys, our analysis proceeds in two stages. First, using a shift-share approach, we show that the distributional composition of local employment growth predicts changes in support for Vox at the municipality level. Second, we show that Vox strategically targets its discourse by topic and region, and that this targeting causally shifts citizen concerns regarding current Spanish issues. Our results suggest that electoral success depends not only on economic fundamentals but also on the supply of narratives that shape citizen perceptions of economic change.

    Title: Persuasion via Sequentially Acquired Evidence

    Abstract: I study a sender who can privately acquire and partially disclose hard evidence to persuade a receiver about a binary state of the world. The sender sequentially acquires noisy binary signals. Signals are time-stamped and costly to acquire. When she stops, the sender discloses a left truncation of the signals. That is, it is possible to omit most dated signals. The receiver, uncertain of how many signals the sender acquires, takes an action based on the difference between the number of good and bad signals in the disclosure. If the cost of acquiring each signal is not too high, there are multiple persuasion equilibria. In every equilibrium, the receiver's posterior belief is supported on two points. This is akin to Bayesian persuasion. If full disclosure of signals is mandatory, the game is equivalent to costly Bayesian persuasion. Mandating full disclosure benefits the sender and hurts the receiver.

    Title: The Effect of Economic Inequality on Assortative Matching: The Formation and Dissolution of Marriages

    Abstract - The increase in assortative matching in marriage markets observed across many nations worldwide is a contributing factor to rising income inequality. This paper suggests that the causal chain also runs in reverse: deepening labor market inequality could trigger greater assortative matching in the marriage market. To establish causality, we study the Israeli kibbutzim that transitioned from equal sharing to market economies. A reform that followed a staggered adoption pattern across kibbutzim abolished egalitarian income sharing, generating inequalities by linking wages to education for the first time. This enabled us to conduct a series of difference-in-differences analyses to examine the impact of the reform on divorce and marriage patterns. First, we find that the rise in economic inequality led to divorce among couples with unequal education, but only when the wife was more educated than the husband. This finding is consistent with a violation of the norm that dictates the husband should be the primary breadwinner. Second, we find that the reform increased assortative matching in education, resulting in a significant reduction in educational differences among newly married couples. Importantly, we find that assortative matching existed in the kibbutzim even before liberalization, when earnings were not related to education. This suggests that assortative matching on education is driven not only by income but also by a preference for marrying a partner who is similarly educated. Overall, we conclude that assortative matching increased following the reform, both through the formation of new marriages and the selection of spouses, as well as the dissolution of existing marriages. These results demonstrate that increased labor-market inequality may increase inter-household inequality by boosting assortative matching in the marriage market.

    12:00pm - 1:00pm, S2.86

    Two 30 minutes presentations:

    i) Anisha will present Political Consequences of Urban Landscaping: Evidence from India.

    Abstract - Do public goods shape political competition? We study whether urban civic infrastructure affects political mobilization. Exploiting variation from Delhi’s 1962 Master Plan, we instrument contemporary park allocation and combine it with newly assembled micro-level data on grassroots organizational presence (Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) morning assemblies). Neighborhoods with more parks host greater organizational activity and deliver higher vote shares to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2020 Assembly election. Estimates are robust to extensive socioeconomic and spatial controls and closely mirror OLS. In a panel of elections from 2008–2020, areas with more parks consistently exhibit higher BJP support, except in 2013, when the association shifts toward the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) following mass anti-corruption mobilization. These findings provide causal evidence that the spatial allocation of civic infrastructure can durably shape partisan competition in dense urban environments.

    ii) Luc will present How to Silence Researchers? Evidence from Illiberal Policies in Hungary.

    Abstract - Since the late 1990s, a growing number of countries have shifted toward “illiberal democracy”— regimes that maintain “free but unfair” elections while systematically undermining the rule of law. In this paper, we argue that contemporary illiberal democracies have detrimental effects on innovation, and specifically on academic research. Using national and international bibliometric data, we show that academics’ research trajectories diverge sharply depending on their perceived political alignment. Researchers perceived as political opponents experience substantially larger declines in both publication output and collaboration networks, with each decreasing by about a quarter of its pre-shock level per year. At the same time, they are more likely to publicly criticize the regime. Similarly, researchers working on gender-related topics are also disproportionately affected: they experience a decrease of 10% in total publications and 30% in publications in top journals. Finally, we conduct cross-country, individual-level comparisons to estimate the broader effect of the loss of freedom on academia. We find that Hungarian researchers increasingly shift their publication efforts toward lower-quality, national-language journals and are more likely to leave the country altogether.

    Title: Keeping the agents in the dark: Competing Mechanisms, Private Disclosures, and the Revelation Principle (with Andrea Attar, Eloisa Campioni, and Alessandro Pavan).

    Abstract: We study the design of market information in competing-mechanism games. We identify a new dimension, private disclosures, whereby the principals asymmetrically inform the agents of how their mechanisms operate. We show that private disclosures have two important effects. First, they can raise a principal's payoff guarantee against her competitors' threats. Second, they can support equilibrium outcomes and payoffs that cannot be supported with standard mechanisms. These results call for a novel approach to competing mechanisms, which we develop to identify a canonical game and a canonical class of equilibria, thereby establishing a new revelation principle for this class of environments.

    Title: AI Sycophancy

    Coauthors: Giulia Caprini and Samuel Goldberg

    Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are said to exhibit sycophancy, a tendency to agree with users irrespective of the truth. We propose an economic framework that defines sycophancy as a preference for user approval, and develop an outcome-based sufficient statistic to detect it. Our identification strategy exploits a key architectural feature of LLMs: they are stateless, and "memory" of past interactions is constructed by summarizing conversations into short profiles appended to each new prompt. Because this memory can be controlled, toggled, and varied experimentally, we can isolate the causal path from user feedback to sycophantic behavior. We instrument the LLM's perceived cost of disagreement with a one-word variation in simulated prior user feedback. In an experiment with leading LLMs across three domains (moral judgments, factual questions, and common misconceptions) we find evidence that LLMs are sycophantic. Sycophancy is larger in subjective domains where baseline accuracy is lower and is heterogeneous across models.

    Title: How Market Access Shapes Wellbeing and Values: Experimental Evidence from the D.R. Congo
    Abstract: Classical liberals argue that the expansion of market access promoted prosociality, hard work, and thrift, while according to more critical schools of thought, mar- kets ushered in a more self-interested, secular, and unsatisfied homo economicus. We examine these ideas in a field experiment involving 4,200 individuals across 300 Congolese villages that provided free motorcycle transportation to the largest urban market in the province one day per week for six months. Market access increased household income by 16% nine months after the intervention by fa- cilitating enduring connections to urban traders and stimulating trade in cash crops. However, it eroded subjective wellbeing on average and made participants feel further away from their desired income, likely by generating within-village inequality and altering the reference points of market “losers.” Market access also had a secularizing effect: participants viewed religious faith as a less important value and a weaker determinant of success in life. Instead, they believed more in their own agency and in the value of hard work, productivity, education, in- come, and saving. An urban placebo treatment arm helps attribute these effects to market access, separate from exposure to the city and urban social networks more generally.

    Title: Learning, Fast and Slow

    Abstract: As learning agents are increasingly deployed in strategic environments, the question of how to strategically choose a learning method becomes economically relevant. We introduce a meta-game in which decision makers select learning rates in continuous-time projected gradient dynamics and evaluate payoffs along the entire trajectory of the resulting inner game, not merely at its limit.

    We use $2 \times 2$ games to map the strategic considerations that arise in choosing the speed of learning. Three game classes produce three qualitatively distinct phenomena. In dominance-solvable games, faster learning is unambiguously beneficial under strategic complementarity, but best responses become non-monotonic under strategic substitutability, so that both players may optimally moderate their speeds. In coordination games, the ratio of learning rates governs basins of attraction, enabling equilibrium selection but introducing payoff discontinuities that cause standard existence results to fail. In zero-sum games, each player has a strictly monotonic incentive to increase their learning rate, generating an arms race with no equilibrium when rates are unbounded. Finally, we show that near any convergent Nash equilibrium every player strictly prefers to learn faster, implying that the richer phenomena above are driven by behaviour away from equilibria.

    Title: The Impact of Technology-Enhanced Learning on Students with Learning Differences in Higher Education: challenging the norm

    Professor Fabio Aricò, Centre for Higher Education Research Practice Policy and Scholarship (CHERPPS), University of East Anglia

    This talk presents findings from qualitative research exploring how technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is experienced by undergraduate students with specific learning differences (SpLDs) and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), alongside the perspectives of their lecturers. Drawing on interview data, the study challenges assumptions that TEL is inherently inclusive, showing that its benefits are uneven and shaped by pedagogy, institutional practices, and context. The session highlights implications for inclusive pedagogy, staff development, and TEL policy in higher education, while also reflecting on the pedagogical research design and methodological choices underpinning the study

    Title: Testing Exclusion and Shape Restrictions in Potential Outcomes Models (with Hiroaki Kaido)
    Abstract: Exclusion and shape restrictions play a central role in defining causal effects and interpreting estimates in potential outcomes models. To date, the testable implications of such restrictions have been studied on a case-by-case basis in a limited set of models. In this paper, we develop a general framework for characterizing sharp testable implications of general support restrictions on the potential response functions, based on a novel graph-based representation of the model. The framework provides a unified and constructive method for deriving all observable implications of the modeling assumptions. We illustrate the approach in several popular settings, including instrumental variables, treatment selection, mediation, and interference. As an empirical application, we revisit the US Lung Health Study and test for the presence of spillovers between spouses, specification of exposure maps, and persistence of treatment effects over time.
