Opportunity and necessity entrepreneurship
What factors drive cross-country economic freedom convergence
To Equality
While prior literature has found that greater economic freedom improves economic growth, development, and productive entrepreneurship, the literature is mixed on economic freedom's impact on gender outcomes. We add to this literature by exploring several measures of gender outcome gaps in employment, financial inclusion, and education utilizing the women, business, and law index from the World Bank to proxy for the strength of legal institutions …
Attitudes towards abortion
Education affects individual values and beliefs, mitigates prejudices and enhances open-mindedness. Additionally, education has been shown to affect cultural traits like trust and respect in societies. Building on this literature and employing an extensive individual-level cross country data from World Value Survey (WVS), we explore the role of educational attainment and cultural traits in shaping attitudes towards abortion. Our results show that…
Trust and attitudes toward income inequality
Does Trust Always Help Gender Role Attitudes? The Role of Individualism and Collectivism
Entrepreneurship, fear of failure, and economic policy
Do political motivations and strategic considerations influence municipal annexation patterns
Bootleggers, Baptists, and the risks of rent seeking
Does corruption ever help entrepreneurship
The current literature contains mixed results regarding the impact of corruption on entrepreneurship and economic growth. In this paper, we examine a much larger set of countries and time periods to attempt to gain insights into this relationship. In particular, the central question is whether corruption can compensate for a bad business climate. Our results are clear; corruption hurts entrepreneurship. The impact is smaller, but remains negative…
Do intergovernmental grants create ratchets in state and local taxes
Recovery and Reinvestment Act spending at the state level
Seniority and anti-competitive restrictions on the legislative common pool
Does fiscal decentralization constrain Leviathan? New evidence from local property tax competition
Testing Baumol
Income inequality and economic freedom in the U.S. states
Government's response to Hurricane Katrina
Gert Tinggaard Svendsen, The Political Economy of the European Union
The Last 30 Years of Public Choice
Expressive Voting and Government Redistribution
The Political Economy of Fema Disaster Payments
We find that presidential and congressional influences affect the rate of disaster declaration and the allocation of FEMA disaster expenditures across states. States politically important to the president have a higher rate of disaster declaration by the president, and disaster expenditures are higher in states having congressional representation on FEMA oversight committees. Election year impacts are also found. Our models predict that nearly ha…
Defending the Articles of Confederation
On the Measurement of Rent Seeking and its Social Opportunity Cost
The Unanimous Voting Rule is not the Political Equivalent to Market Exchange
In defense of the Articles of Confederation and the contribution mechanism as a means of government finance
Government's response to Hurricane Katrina
Theory and Evidence on the Political Economy of the Minimum Wage
This paper examines how closely the minimum wage has been set to the most popularly stated goals of minimun‐wage policy. I first estimate these goals: the minimum‐wage rate at which the relevant labor demand is unitary elastic‐maximizing the total earnings of minimum‐wage workers (about $5.35)‐and the level that would lift a typical minimum‐wage worker's family out of poverty (about $5.17). I can reject that the actual minimum‐wage policy has bee…

Recovery and Reinvestment Act spending at the state level
Income inequality and economic freedom in the U.S. states

In defense of the Articles of Confederation and the contribution mechanism as a means of government finance
Empirical evidence on the publicness of state legislative activities
Bootleggers, Baptists, and the risks of rent seeking
Does fiscal decentralization constrain Leviathan? New evidence from local property tax competition
Expressive Voting and Government Redistribution
The League of Nations covenant and the United Nations charter
Do intergovernmental grants create ratchets in state and local taxes
Exchange rate evidence on the effectiveness of United Nations policy
The Unanimous Voting Rule is not the Political Equivalent to Market Exchange
