Assortative Learning
Because of sorting, more skilled workers are more productive in higher‐type firms. They also learn at different rates about their productivity and therefore expect different wage paths across firms.

Surprisingly, this holds even if learning is faster in the low‐type firm. The key assump…
The Making of Bad Gentry
This paper investigates the impact of the abolition of the civil service exam on local governance in early twentieth-century China. Before the abolition, local elites collected surtaxes that financed local public goods, but they were supervised by the state and could lose candidacy for higher status if they engaged in corrupt behavior. This prospect of upward mobility (POUM) gave them incentives to behave well, which the abolition of the exam rem…

In our model, targets are used by upper-level officials to convey the importance of economic growth and incentivise subordinates in the tournaments. Our model predicts a top-down amplification of economic growth targets al…
