This paper provides causal evidence that persistent changes in macroeconomic conditions in immigrants' countries of origin shape their labour market behaviour in the host country.

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited.

Full Discretion is Inevitable

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article studies a dynamic project‐selection game between a Principal and an Agent with conflicting interests. Only the Agent knows what projects are feasible. In each period before a project is selected, the Principal imposes a restriction set. The Agent can select any feasible project within this set, thereby ending the game.

We find that wealthier, older, and female members are more likely to receive financial advice prior to rebalancing, and that advice ...
