Religiosity and crime: Evidence from a city-wide shock
This paper estimates the impacts of religiosity on criminal activity using a city-wide shock to religious sentiment from a 2015 Papal visit. Using daily data on all reported offenses between 2010 and 2015 in Philadelphia at the census tract level and a difference-in-differences approach, we demonstrate significant reductions in less serious crimes in the week of the visit and for several weeks following. Reductions are particularly pronounced for…

Height, Weight and Well-Being for Rural, Urban and Migrant Workers in China
Bureaucratic Corruption and Income: Evidence from the Land Sector in Bangladesh
We examine, for the first time, the effects of corruption on income using household survey data from a developing country. Estimating the effects of corruption on income is challenging because of the simultaneous relationship between the two variables. We use a two-step instrumental variable approach to identify the effects of corruption on income. We find that after adjusting for simultaneity bias the act of bribery reduces income and that highe…

Engaging in corruption: The influence of cultural values and contagion effects at the microlevel
Extra Status and Extra Stress: Are Promotions Good for Us
Promotions ordinarily involve higher wages and greater privileges; but often they also increase responsibility, accountability, and work hours. Therefore, whether promotions are good for workers' well-being is an empirical question. Using high-quality panel data the authors estimate pre- and post-promotion effects on job attributes, physical health, mental health, and life satisfaction in an attempt at answering this question. They find that prom…

Explaining the Female Black-White Obesity Gap: A Decomposition Analysis of Proximal Causes
There exist remarkably large differences in body weights and obesity prevalence between black and white women in the United States; and crucially, these differences are a significant contributor to black-white inequalities in health. In this article, we investigate the most proximal explanations for the weight gap: namely, differences in diet and exercise. More specifically, we decompose black-white differences in body mass index and waist-to-hei…
