Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies
ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

Joint Estimation and Bandwidth Selection in Partially Parametric Models
ABSTRACT We propose a single‐step approach to estimating a model with both a known nonlinear parametric component and an unknown nonparametric component. We study the large sample behavior of a simultaneous optimization routine that estimates both the parameter vector of the parametric component and the bandwidth vector used to smooth the unknown ...

Count Data Models With Heterogeneous Peer Effects Under Rational Expectations
ABSTRACT This paper develops a peer effect model for count responses under rational expectations. The model accounts for heterogeneity in peer effects across groups based on observed characteristics. Identification is based on the linear model condition that requires the presence of friends of friends who are not direct friends.

Subsquares in Random Latin Squares and Rectangles
ABSTRACT A k×n $k\times n$ partial Latin rectangle is C‐sparse $C \mbox{-} \mathrm{sparse}$ if the number of nonempty entries in each row and column is at most C $C$ and each symbol is used at most C $C$ times. We prove that the probability a uniformly random k×n $k\times n$ Latin rectangle, where k<(1∕2−α)n $k\lt (1\unicode{x02215}2-\alpha )n ...
