The European Mediation Paradox revisited: Insights from a new expert survey
Despite decades of policy initiatives and broad recognition of its effectiveness, mediation remains underutilized across much of Europe – a phenomenon termed the ‘EU Mediation Paradox’. This article presents new evidence on mediation use and practice, drawing on a 2024 survey of more than 2,400 mediation experts and related professionals across EU Member States and the UK. Latent class analysis identifies four archetypal national mediation framew…

Fostering Financial Inclusion by Ensuring Cultural Fit: The Case of the NCDFI Industry
Native Community Development Financial Institutions (NCDFIs) play a vital role in extending credit to underserved Native communities, yet there is no systematic overview in the existing literature of the lending approaches of NCDFIs. Analyzing original interviews with NCDFI leaders, we unveil the core practices and modes of operation in the NCDFI industry. We find that NCDFIs prioritize comprehensive goals, form strategic partnerships, customize …
Sisterhood and credible narratives: Gender-based ingroup bias in the asylum courtroom
The impact of institutionalized representation: Creditors' committees and the resolution of corporate liquidation bankruptcies
We utilize micro-level data on corporate liquidation bankruptcies in Slovenia to conduct the first systematic quantitative investigation of the impact of creditors' committees (CCs) on liquidation bankruptcy outcomes. Slovenian law permits, but does not mandate, the establishment of a CC in liquidation bankruptcy proceedings, ensuring variation in CC incidence across cases. To address the non-random formation of CCs, we use propensity score match…
A macroscope of English print culture, 1530–1700, applied to the coevolution of ideas on religion, science, and institutions
We combine unsupervised machine learning and econometric methods to study England’s print culture in the pivotal sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Machine learning synthesizes the content of 57,863 texts comprising 83 million words into 110 topics. Topics include the expected, such as Natural Philosophy, and the unexpected, such as Baconian Theology. Timelines suggest that religious and political discourse gradually became less antagonistic an…

Weaned off public money: The effect of discontinued reception of public cash on firm outcomes
Given the large footprint of the public sector in modern capitalist economies, many businesses are recipients of public money. But how are recipient firms impacted when they are weaned off public money? Drawing on unique data from Slovenia, we assemble a firm‐level panel linking comprehensive records on public‐sector cash transactions to businesses with detailed annual information on more than 72,000 firms observed between 2015 and 2019. To addre…

When the Lender Extends a Helping Hand: Native CDFI Client Counseling and Loan Performance in Indian Country
Beyond conventional models: Lending by Native Community Development Financial Institutions
Native Community Development Financial Institutions (Native CDFIs) have become an increasingly important source of credit and financial services in the areas on or near American Indian reservations in the United States. Guided by a conceptual framework developed on the basis of the related finance literature and drawing on loan‐level data from eleven Native CDFI loan funds, we offer the first systematic quantitative analysis of lending in the Nat…

Unclogging Courts by Targeting Litigant Incentives: The Case of the Brazilian Labour Justice Reform
Overburdened courts hinder economic and social progress, yet successful court reforms are rare. Instead of boosting judicial resources or adapting procedure, Brazil tackled persistent backlogs and delays in its labour courts by replacing the pre-existing each-pays-their-own-costs (American) rule for allocation of litigation expenses with an alternative loser-pays-all (English) rule. Using a newly assembled court-level panel dataset and difference…
Using Topic-Modeling in Legal History, with an Application to Pre-Industrial English Case Law on Finance
We argue that topic-modeling, an unsupervised machine-learning technique for analysis of large corpora, can be a powerful tool for legal-historical research. We provide a non-technical introduction to topic-modeling driven by the presentation of an example of how researchers can use the data that topic-modeling produces. The context of the example is pre-industrial English caselaw on finance. We generate new insights on the timing of pertinent le…
Multidomain judging and administration of justice: Evidence from a major emerging-market jurisdiction
Inefficacious courts and limited judicial resources are a ubiquitous problem in many jurisdictions worldwide. To facilitate administration of justice, court administrators must therefore resort to unconventional practices. In Brazilian state and federal courts, judges normally assigned to the disposition of cases in a single domain are often directed to dispose cases in an additional domain, thus engaging in multidomain judging. Using a comprehen…

Jurisdiction, Crime, and Development: The Impact of Public Law 280 in Indian Country
Public Law 280 transferred jurisdiction over criminal and civil matters from the federal to state governments and increased the extent of nontribal law enforcement in selected parts of Indian country. Where enacted, the law fundamentally altered the preexisting legal order. Public Law 280 thus provides a unique opportunity to study the impact of legal institutions and their change on socioeconomic outcomes. The law's controversial content has att…

The longevity of national identity and national pride: Evidence from wider Europe
National pride predicts a wide range of politico-economic outcomes, yet what makes individuals proud of their nation is not completely understood. We propose and test a theory that an important but thus far unexplored determinant of contemporary national pride is the longevity of national identity. To measure the longevity of national identity, we construct an index based on responses from an original expert survey designed to trace the emergence…

Controlling Product Risks when Consumers Are Heterogeneously Overconfident: Producer Liability versus Minimum-Quality-Standard Regulation
Contributing to the literature on the consequences of behavioral biases for market outcomes and institutional design, we contrast producer liability and minimum-quality-standard regulation as alternative means of social control of product-related torts when consumers are heterogeneously overconfident about the risk of harm. We elucidate the role of factors shaping the relative desirability of strict liability vis-à-vis minimum-quality-standard re…

The Duration of Judicial Deliberation: Evidence from Belgium
We utilize case-level data from a large Belgian court to study a policy-relevant but thus far empirically unexplored aspect of judicial behavior: the time that a judge takes to deliberate on a case before rendering a verdict. Exploiting the de facto random administrative assignment of filed cases among the serving judges and using survival-analysis methods, we find that the duration of judicial deliberation varies not only with measures of case c…
