Doubling Down Political Budget Cycles: The Role of State‐Owned Enterprises
Economics &Politics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the degree and nature of political budget cycles in public investments when two instruments are available: investments by core governments and, more indirectly, by state‐owned enterprises (SOEs). While fiscal pressure on core budgets may induce politicians to shift election‐induced investments to SOEs, voters' uncertainties in clearly

Public health reforms and the mortality decline in nineteenth‐century Italy
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the impact of Italy's 1887–8 health reforms on mortality, contributing to the historical debate on the state's role in Europe's health transition. Leveraging event‐study‐style difference‐in‐differences approach, we assess the effectiveness of the Crispi–Pagliani reforms, which strengthened public health governance and ...

On Spatial Point Processes With Composition‐Valued Marks
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Methods for marked spatial point processes with scalar marks have seen extensive development in recent years. While the impressive progress in data collection and storage capacities has yielded an immense increase in spatial point process data with highly challenging non‐scalar marks, methods for their analysis are not equally well developed ...
