Generalizing the Results from Social Experiments
How informative are treatment effects estimated in one region or time period for another region or time? In this article, I derive bounds on the average treatment effect in a context of interest using experimental evidence from another context. The bounds are based on (a) the information identified about treatment effect heterogeneity due to unobservables in the experiment and (b) using differences in outcome distributions across contexts to lear…

Labor Regulations and the Cost of Corruption
In this paper, we estimate the costs associated with an important suite of labor regulations in India by taking advantage of the fact that these regulations apply only to firms above a size threshold. Using distortions in the firm size distribution together with a structural model of firm size choice, we estimate that the regulations increase firms' unit labor costs by 35%. This estimate is robust to potential misreporting on the part of firms an…
