Product churn, tastes, and price indices

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Price indices commonly used to measure inflation do not account for the entry and exit of products nor for systemic changes in consumer preferences over time. Recent developments in the theory of price indices show that these issues have significant impacts on the growth of prices that consumers experience.

Representation increases women's influence in climate deliberations: Evidence from community‐managed forests in Malawi

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Women's inclusion is now the norm in global and local initiatives to combat climate change. We examine how women's representation affects climate deliberations using the case of community‐managed forests in Malawi. We run a lab‐in‐the‐field experiment randomly varying the gender composition of six‐member groups asked to deliberate on policies ...
