EMU and trade: The euro effect on the agricultural sector

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper uses a structural gravity model to examine the partial equilibrium effects of the European Monetary Union (EMU) on trade for the agricultural sector. We find robust evidence that EMU has increased trade both between members and between EMU and non‐EMU member countries. This positive link is found in most member countries.

Risk premia reconsidered: Illiquidity and selection bias for stocks and corporate bonds in the pre‐First World War period

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Financial history is plagued by a visibility trap. Using the Brussels Stock Exchange (1850–1913), we demonstrate that asset illiquidity introduced selection bias, which systematically inflated historical risk premia. Applying a latent return model, we argue that correcting for this illiquidity decreases the equity and corporate bond risk ...

Religiosity and Debt Maturity: International Evidence

Financial Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the association between country‐level religiosity and corporate debt maturity. We develop competing predictions reflecting creditor‐ and borrower‐side channels through which religiosity may favor either shorter or longer maturity. Using 407,399 firm‐year observations from 56 countries and territories over 1996–2021, we find
