Reforming Gender Laws: The Economic Impact for Women in Saudi Arabia
This study quantifies the impact of Saudi Arabia’s legal reforms aimed at reducing gender discrimination on female labour force participation and employment, using a synthetic control for comparison from 2017 to 2021. The reforms yielded a nearly nine percentage point increase in female labour force participation, with over one million Saudi women entering the labour force in just three years. A difference-in-differences analysis using the stagge…
Oil Price Shocks and Conflict Escalation: Onshore versus Offshore
We reconsider the relationship between oil and conflict, focusing on the location of oil resources. In a panel of 132 countries over the period 1962-2009, we show that oil windfalls escalate conflict in onshore-rich countries, while they de-escalate conflict in offshore-rich countries. We use a model to illustrate how these opposite effects can be explained by a fighting capacity mechanism, whereby the government can use offshore oil income to in…
Supply flexibility in the shale patch: Evidence from North Dakota
This paper provides new results to the literature, showing that output flexibility in oil production depends on the extraction technology. In particular, constructing a novel well‐level monthly production dataset covering more than 16,000 crude oil wells in North Dakota, we find supply elasticity of shale wells to be positive and in the range of 0.3–0.9, depending on wells and firms characteristics. We find no such responses for conventional well…
Inflation news and the poor: The role of ethnic heterogeneity
Incomes are more unequally distributed in ethnically diverse populations than in more homogenous ones. In this paper, I help explain this pattern by showing that unanticipated inflation reduces the income share of the poor in ethnically fractionalized countries, while increasing it in ethnically homogenous populations. I propose a mechanism to explain the result, where inflation-hedging among the rich is more prevalent in ethnically fractionalize…
Does Oil Promote or Prevent Coups? The Answer is Yes
A large literature investigates the relation between oil and conflict, yet no empirical study has found any link between oil and coups d'état. Using a new data set on oil production separated into onshore and offshore volumes, oil price shocks are seen to promote coups in onshore-intensive oil countries, while preventing them in offshore-intensive oil countries. A likely mechanism is that onshore oil motivates military build-ups, while offshore o…
