Decision-Making in the Dark: The Asymmetric Spread of Covid-19 Policies
We investigate the diffusion of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions across OECD countries from January 2020 to March 2022 using spatial econometric methods on daily data about policy stringency and epidemic evolution. During the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers needed to make crucial decisions in a low-information environment: in such a context, the incentives to mimic the behavior of others can be quite strong. We empirically document a systematic l…
Does the winner take it all? Federal policies and political extremism
Whether citizens like or dislike federal policies often depends on regional differences. Because of geography, (economic) history or other path-dependent factors, certain regions are perceived to get more out of the union than others. We show that citizens, therefore, have a strategic incentive to elect Federal delegates that are more extreme than the representative voter. The intensity of such strategic delegation is U-shaped in expected benefit…

Fuelling Organised Crime: The Mexican War on Drugs and Oil Theft
We show that the Mexican war on drugs pushed drug cartels into large-scale oil theft. We propose a simple model in which government crackdowns on one criminal sector induce criminal organisations to invest in a new sector. When entering the new sector, challenger organisations with a residual share of the market in the traditional sector may leapfrog incumbent organisations. We bring the model to the data using detailed information on drug cartel…
Pandemic distress and anti‐immigration sentiments
We investigate the causal nexus between pandemic distress and anti‐immigration sentiments. We exploit the disruption brought about by the Covid‐19 outbreak to randomly provide survey respondents with information on the economic or health consequences of the pandemic. Overall, we find that pessimistic information about the economic outlook reinforces overall adversity to immigration and the wish to exclude immigrants from access to healthcare. Thi…
Attacking Women or their Policies? Understanding Violence against Women in Politics
We present the first causal evidence that female politicians are more likely to face political violence. Using fourteen years of data on attacks against Italian politicians, we show that marginally elected female mayors—similar to men and elected in comparable towns—are three times as likely to be attacked. We find no gender differences in policy platforms, policymaking, performance, or corruption. Instead, violence emerges independently on women…
Never Forget the First Time: The Persistent Effects of Corruption and the Rise of Populism in Italy
The article studies the long-term impact of corruption on trust toward institutions. Previous studies have demonstrated that exposure to corruption may lower institutional trust over the short term. Whether those short-term effects translate into a persistent effect is not known. We study the onset of a corruption shock that took place in Italy between 1992 and 1994. Using recent data collected by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Dev…
Pains, guns and moves: The effect of the U.S. opioid epidemic on Mexican migration
Informational Shocks and Street-Food Safety: A Field Study in Urban India
We investigate whether improvements in street-food safety can be achieved by providing information to vendors in the form of a training. Among randomly assigned vendors in Kolkata, India, we find large improvements in knowledge and awareness but little change in observed behavior. We provide two main explanations for these findings. First, information acquisition by itself does not make it significantly easier for vendors to provide customers wit…
Family Ties and Socio-Economic Outcomes in High vs Low Income Countries
Alesina and Giuliano illustrate that strong family ties lead to lower geographical mobility and reduced labour force participation of young and female individuals. We extend their analysis by arguing that the effect of strong family ties on economic outcomes depends on a country’s level of economic and institutional development. This cross-country heterogeneity arises because strong family ties not only foster traditional family values (which hav…

Public support for European fiscal integration in times of crisis
The current economic crisis has triggered fierce debates among policy-makers and the media across and within European countries about the need for a closer European fiscal union. Using a novel dataset derived from the Eurobarometer surveys, this article investigates European citizens' opinions towards such fiscal integration. We find that both country-level variables (such as expected country-level costs/benefits) and individual-level variables (…
