Gender-role identity in adolescence and women fertility in adulthood
The Fight Against Malaria
We aggregate information from the World Malaria Reports on 61 different antimalarial policies to develop an extensive synthetic index (MaPI) for 44 SSA countries between 1990 and 2017. We observe an increase of convergence in polices’ implementation in the region, starting in more developed countries and reaching less developed countries from the mid-2000s. Using a difference-in-difference events study design, we find that prevention, diagnosis a…
Crime and social expenditure
High-income and less unequal societies are associated with both lower rates of economic crimes and larger public programs to deter crime. This paper suggests that redistributive effects generated by a crime-control program help to explain these facts. Retirees and honest individuals are beneficiaries of the system because they do not offend. Despite paying more taxes, high-income dishonest agents become net receivers, as they devote relatively le…
The political economics of redistribution, inequality and tax avoidance
Declining Predation during Development
Empirical evidence suggests that poorer countries have larger amounts of predation. We formulate a neoclassical growth model in which agents devote time to either produce or predate. When the elasticity of substitution between labour and capital is lower than one, the labour share rises with capital, reducing the incentive to predate and increasing the incentive to produce throughout the transition. Consequently, a feedback process between capita…
