This paper studies the main patterns and trends observed in primary education in Catalonia between 1860 and 1930. The information gathered from official education statistics makes it possible to track several primary ...
The use of high-stakes assessments has become widespread in educational systems. While they can potentially boost student achievement, they may also increase anxiety levels, which could negatively affect their academic ...
Europe’s rapidly ageing population poses critical challenges for long-term care (LTC) systems, particularly guaranteeing equitable access. While socio-economic disparities in LTC utilisation are well documented, inequalities ...
Over the past three decades, many countries have adopted fiscal rules. This paper studies their impact on economic growth using an overlapping generations model with endogenous growth, where the government imposes both a ...
We theoretically investigate whether AI developers or AI operators should be liable for the harm the AI systems may cause when they hallucinate. We find that the optimal liability framework may vary over time, with the ...
This paper investigates the adoption of financial technology, with a specific focus on the introduction of a new instant payment technology called PIX by the Brazilian Central Bank. To assess adoption patterns, we use ...
In this paper we study the market effects of common ownership in a setting where any ownership structure and any shareholder size is allowed. We depart from the Standard reduced form approach of assuming that firms maximize ...
Institutional common ownership of firm pairs in the same industry increases the likelihood of a preexisting social connection among their CEOs. We establish this relationship using a quasinatural experiment that exploits ...
We examine the impact of deliberation on political learning and election outcomes. A rational, common-valued electorate votes under majority rule, after potentially acquiring costly private information and sharing it freely ...
We derive a model in which firms operate in an epidemic environment and internalize infections among their employees in the workplace. The model is calibrated to fit the moments of the Covid-19 epidemic. We show that firms ...
We consider priority-based matching problems with limited farsightedness. We show that, once agents are sufficiently farsighted, the matching obtained from the Top Trading Cycles (TTC) algorithm becomes stable: a singleton ...
This paper investigates the effects of a tax reform that eliminates tax rate heterogeneity and cumulative taxation using a general equilibrium model with multiple sectors with market power. Industries are connected through ...
This paper presents a framework where sellers, an online platform with monopoly power, and consumers transact. We study the interaction between the imposition of liability on the platform, the reputational sanctions exerted ...
This paper aims to identify empirically how household structure and other socioeconomic characteristics affect the lifecycle consumption profile, exploiting data available for Spain for the last 15 years. Given the nature ...
We study the problem of allocating packages of different objects to a group of bidders. A rule is overbidding-proof if no bidder has incentives to bid above his actual valuations. We prove that if an efficient rule is ...
TDAH / ADHD - - Objectives: The literature shows a positive association between children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and parental divorce or marital conflicts. This is a significant health ...
What are the impacts of misinformation on political accountability? We address this question in a political career concerns framework with belief misspecification. In our model, an incumbent politician of an unknown ability ...
Are financial incentives effective in increasing fertility rates? Empirical evidence suggests they are, primarily in the short run (around implementation). Can such policies also increase the total number of children in ...
We study a model in which a firm can acquire conclusive evidence about its supplier's social and environmental impacts. We identify the disclosure mandate that maximizes market information. A disclosure mandate determines ...
